    Look for off the rack dresses, I bought mine, a couture gown that was originally $2,500 & I got it for $1000. I love my dress, its divine and I think it was definately money well spent.

    Kamarine, I can't remember the name of it, sorry, I'll have to find out.. but it's American. Has quite a long train (that can hook back up) and lots of really detailed ebroidery work with silvery stitching and pearl(not real ones obviously)/crystal stitched in as well. And it's as strong as an ox, which I love. She strapped me into it and there was no way that dress was going anywhere!

    BeautifulMadness, We're TTC in June so I may be pg too! But the dress laces up, and allows for a bit of give so I think I'll be ok... I only start to show around 4.5 months (my uterus tilts backwards so I don't pop forever which sucks!) so hopefully i'll get away with it. I think you look gorgeous in your photos to!! What are you on about!? You have that GLOW.

    alioops, yep I was going for simple to... then I saw this bloody dress!

    I think I've fallen to far in love with it now, and I don't think mum's going to let me weavle out and get something else cheaper. It's good to hear that those are round about prices though because I didn't fancy myself having a "hollywood" wedding!

    It sounds gorgeous though.
    Did you end up getting it or decide to find something else?

    We spent more money on my dress than anything else in our wedding lol. But when I saw the dress I knew it was the one I wanted. So corny, but true.
