SO my dress  budget is   not much  hoping for  5-6 hundred or  less.  I have  found a  bunch via   lookbook and such  that  are  that  range,  and   some that are  older collections ( 09)  etc.  Does  anyone know where i can   find a  shop or  store that  carries  older collections  or  not super expensive dresses.  the area i live is  bling bling,  bedminster nj  and  i dont want  any of that!! ( im in somerset co.)

Have you tried David's Bridal yet, and also Group USA? They have lots of gowns in that price range.

Another idea would be to ask if you can purchase the sample dress for a discounted price. You might need alterations and cleaning, but that might still fall into your price range.

What designers are you looking into? I think that Alfred Angelo gowns usually fall in that price range, and I know that some Maggie Sottero gowns do as well (lace gowns were more expensive).

Another suggestion ... if you find something slightly above that range, contact a wholesaler (rkbridal.com, netbride.com, pearlsplace.com) and see what their quote is. They're legit sites ... you just save money because you're not paying the salon's overhead charge.

Or look for it on eBay, Craigslist or preownedweddingdresses.com. Also try the Trash to Treasure board on the Nest, for girls selling their gowns. (If you're a size 14 and like Maggie Sottero, I have mine that I am considering selling.)

If you want something simple, consider ordering a bridesmaid's dress in white. You probably won't pay more than $300, tops. You can also find lovely wedding gowns on Nordstrom.com, JCrew.com and AnnTaylor.com.

I bought my dress from Park Avenue Bridal in Verona, and they had gowns under $1K.

Hollywood Bridal in Kennilworth carries older collections.  Mine I think is 2 or 3 years old?
