Non traditional dresses?

KrystalsKitsch

I want a fun wedding dress that isn't exactly a "wedding dress." I've looked at J Crew, Nordstroms, etc. I was wondering if you had any other ideas that I hadn't heard of or checked out yet!

Have any of you used a non-traditional dress?

You'll have to elaborate on "Non traditional"

You could really look any where. Have you tried looking at bridesmaids dresses or even at having someone make your dress. I've also seen a lot of girls choosing wedding gowns that have color in them or are tea length. They are non-traditional while still looking like a wedding dress.

I've seen a lot of ladies go for vintage or vintage-inspired attire these days, especially in the form of tea-length gowns of different colors.

You might also look at evening gowns. Bluefly.com has a great selection if you haven't already looked there yet. They have tons of colors, so whether you want to stick with a white, champagne, or silver that looks bridal or go for something wild, they've got plenty of dresses for inspiration.

mgietler76 I guess just a dress that wasn't specifically made for a bride to wear. I was wondering if anyone had any different ideas for where to look for beautiful gowns that aren't super expensive.

Bluefly? Hmmm that sounds like a good option, I will look!

I found my dream dress on ebay (very cheep), it was a little wrinkled when it got here but thats my only complaint because it fit like a glove.
My familly calls it very "untraditional" because the hole dress it silver.
My colors were black, burgundy and silver and when I saw that dress that it was it.
Differant and a lil over the top it goes with the style of our wedding. I cannot see the reaction on my FI face. 
Dresses with pops of color are nice to.
Good luck!
