I am getting married in Florida but I do not live there. I am looking for new ideas on where to find a wedding dress, either online or if someone could recommend a specific designer or national store, that would help too. I've been to 6 stores in two states and have also ordered (and returned) dresses from 3 online stores. Why is it so hard to find something simple, informal and beachy? Here is what I am looking for:
- ivory
- empire waist
- no/little train
- chiffon or similar fabric
- no beading, sparkle or lace
- full-length
- under $500 if possible
I have tried the following national stores with no luck (plus a few local boutiques):
David's Bridal
Ann Taylor
J. Crew
Aria
Nordstrom
Nicole Miller
Does anyone else have any other ideas? I will not buy a dress without trying it on first, so anything purchased online has to be returnable.
Thanks for your help!
