Anyone know of any styles or designers similar to these Elie Saab dresses?

I'm not exactly thrilled with the idea of getting a white/ivory/etc dress, but I have no idea where to look or what is even available that isn't in the white colour family. I still want something fancy and elegant, not plain.

I really love Elie Saab stuff, but, being haute couture, it's not a real option. Anyway, I absolutely love these dresses, in gold/grey/etc tones. The first one is my dream dress. Does anyone know of anything similar, that's more affordable and more widely available? I know it's probably a long shot.

Have you considered going vintage. See if there are any great stores in your neighborhood. Also, some wedding dress designers do some dresses in gold tones (Maggie Sottero has some I believe) so don't be afraid to check those out.

Some great options! Not sure what your budget is, but some of these dresses look very similar.

Consider looking at Nordstrom, neiman Marcus, etc. evening dresses. There are things similar to the Elie Saab that are around the 1000 mark,. Also try ShopBop, BlueFly, and Net a Porter.
