I’m getting married in December, right after Christmas and am starting to panic for not making progress with my dress. I honestly thought I would have narrowed down my options by now, but none has even whispered to me, leave alone full-on spoken to me. I am a bit worried honestly.
I have done some light online shopping, and am coming to realize that my budget might not be enough to get something decent; I guess $1000 isn't much these days. I'm picturing something simple but romantic; white but not too 'lacey' if you catch my drift.
I’ve looked at booking an appointment with a few notable bridal shops but all seem to be booked for months. Most are also outside my budget too, and it's proved to be quite the discouragement.
A few friends also suggested that I order it online, but I would honestly love to try out dresses in person if I can. I would still be open to ordering online if that’s the better route, but still, some help would be immense right about now. What are some good websites or stores that would be worth checking out? I’ve heard of Azazie, David’s Bridal and Etsy has lots of options, but still remain unsure of which to go with, especially because their premium prices might not come with corresponding value for money. Where else have you guys bought dresses from? Were they open to making it custom for you too?
Also, I’ve never shopped for a wedding dress before, so I have no idea about sizing, fabrics, alterations, or how long ordering takes. Please help!
