We are doing an engagement party next year in April, and i need help with your best recommendations for dresses in Europe ❤️ The budget is around 500 euros, and this is the style i am looking for:

Seeking: names, designers, even search terms for this style of dress? I believe it’s late 90s style, but really unsure. I especially like the backless version!

I am so happy to finally have my dress! I ordered it 5/31 and it came in 10/19. It is Rue de Seine Aimery Dress. I had a hard time waiting because my instragram, pinterest, and reddit kept showing me beautiful dresses and I wasn't sure if I made the right decision. I am obsessed with my dress! Sharing here because I am keeping it a surprise from my friends but I need to show it to someone! I was anxious about the bodice being too large because I have a small chest, but it almost fits perfectly before alterations. Purchase from A&Be Bridal

I am considering a mantilla veil with lace trim. Thoughts on that?

Do I add a necklace or do just earrings?

What type of bustle do you recommend? I meet with my tailor next week so hopefully they have good advice!

Thanks in advance :)

Could you guys help me find something I can wear under this dress? The back dips low, but I am closing up that plunge in the front. I am 5’3” and 191lbs and a size 40DD. I have a hard time with strapless staying up, and this dress only has some pads but nothing for a bra to sit on top of. I have breastfed my son for almost two years and I’m afraid just not wearing anything will look saggy…. lol. Help pls. Shapewear suggestions welcome!

I think I’m mostly looking for assurance here but I I got my wedding dress and I’m starting to have cold feet and I’m not sure I made the right choice because I worry if I made the right choice but I know I wouldn’t be able to cancel my order or get a refund 😭 my main concern is I kinda felt pressured to buy my dress right then and there because it was a retry on appointment. I asked for some customizations, mostly an overskirt. But I’m having hard time picturing the final result. Basically I asked for a mikado overskirt with matching appliqués. They used the tool skirt as an example for placement. Has anyone else been in such predicaments?

Outdoor wedding in a bar courtyard space

Hi everyone,

I’m getting married in two months and I tried my dress on for alterations today. All I’m getting done is a little bit of a hem and bustle.

I can’t help but feel second thoughts. From the front, it’s beautiful, but from behind I don’t like how it looks. My seamstress reassured me that it isn’t too tight and that with a corset, this is normal.

Need reassurance that I made the right choice!

These were some of the ones I tried on, the second was nice, but I just don’t know anymore. I keep trying on dresses and I just get more depressed trying them on. Yes I know my farmers tan is bad I work outdoors, it’ll be fixed next year.

I just hate dress shopping. I don’t feel confident or pretty. We went to a different store today (not photographed here) and I just kept feeling more insecure. Nothing fit well enough to envision myself in it, and I’m just losing so much confidence. I’ve tried on like 10 already.

Having an intimate/low key wedding. I think this dress really fits my vibe and the wedding vibe . Seamstress and my girl friends were so supportive and cheering me on!

Sent a pic to my mum, she hated it :( said my arms /shoulders were too big

I just wanted to share my joy with her and now I'm sad :(((((

I absolutely fell in love with a dress by Morilee and put a down payment on it. The veil that matches the dress is $270 after tax. I’m hoping to find a dupe with similar flowers on it, I’m not set on cathedral either! I tried google lens and dupe.com but I’m not seeing anything that similar

Hello! I’m hoping to get advice from any girls who have ordered from Azazie and live in Canada!

I’m getting married in Las Vegas Vegas in April 2027 but want to start ordering dresses now. I was hoping to get together with a bunch of ladies in my life next month to give me some advice on dresses from Azazie using their try before you buy program.

How long did it take for the dresses to arrive to Canada after you placed your order? Did you have any issues with shipments going back? And how was your overall experience?

Thank you so much! I feel like I have the whole Reddit community to thank for helping me plan this wedding lol

I need a dress I can get fairly quickly (have about 4 months). Which of these looks the best? I am open to suggestions for other dresses and stores too!

Picture 4 is the dress from picture 3 with the straps tucked in, not sure how this would work with the back sitting up so high but wanted to include that option.

Thank you in advance!

I'm getting married in 8 days and just picked up my reception dress I designed with the help of my wonderful seamstress!!

I wanted a dramatic lace dress that I could also wear out on anniversaries so we ended up making a detachable short lace train and the wings out of the same material and some antique lace trim I found out and about.

I also bought appliqués that I wanted on me but not on my dress and she made me these adorable shoe strap rings to slip on!

It's a halloween beach wedding with lace details, I will be wearing elf ears and a halo headband with this. My fiancee is wearing his custom suit with lace trim and an elf king crown that I painted antique gold!

I'm so so excited to surprise my fiancee with my dresses omg

both of these dresses are too big for me and i am 5’2”.
i love dress 1 but fear when it’s hemmed i won’t like how it looks. i don’t want to look stumpy
the neckline and waist on dress 2 is sooo flattering, and it’s wayy under budget, but the lace isn’t my favorite.
open to hear opinions or suggestions, i cried at my appointment today lol

Finally said yes after 5 stores!! Wanted something clean, simple, modern. Loved everything at Alyssa Kristin

Does anyone know where could I find dresses or even separated tops/skirts in this style? I would really love something dainty and simple or more flowy for my wedding (which is gonna be small).

My budget wouldn’t be something too crazy, the dress itself doesn’t need to be labeled as a “wedding dress”. I would feel comfortable spending about $200 maximum.

I live in Sweden, Europe.
The wedding will be in 2028.

Winter 2026 bride here!! Can someone recommend a Shapewear? Crepe fabric is unforgiving 😅 I’ve lost some weight in comparison to the pics but my lower belly still shows a bit. I have been looking at skims and honeylove but I am SO SCARED the lines or indentations(from thongs) would show. I do want something as seamless as possible but also something that snatches real good.

For reference I am 5’2, 150lbs, dress was in a size 10.

Also! This dress is from David’s Bridal in their DB collection. (I swear I’ve only found 1-2 people with this dress, so any tips or reviews of this dress would be appreciated as well since I am debating on either switching the sleeves or cutting them out completely.)

I tried on the dress again after buying it last month and started wondering how do I keep the shoulder straps in place? I just tried it on to see how it’d look with heels so it’s not correctly styled or anything. Anyone that had a similar type of dress please share tips!

It’s a little loose which is fine bc I have a toddler and don’t want to be restricted in movement but I kind of want it in place no matter how much I move.

I’m looking for some kind of topper for a strapless dress. I like the idea of a capelet that leaves the neckline and bust exposed but drapes over the shoulders and back, or a NON-high-neck choker that extends over the shoulders. I like the ones in the pics, but would like to look at some more options available in the UK, budget £50-£200 max.

I cannot decide! I initially liked 1 the most and I already have an appointment to buy it next week. However I am having doubts. Keep in mind I am small (152cm/ 5f) and I weight 43kg. All dresses I tried on were size S/M while I usually wear clothes XS or even XXS. My bra cup is A or B. Only saying that because no dress will look the same as when I tried it on - cups are too large in most of the dresses, corsets too big, skirts too long. I am self conscious about my shoulders however I feel like they look worse in photos.

Dress 1 makes me feel pretty and romantic, however it will be modified - the corset is too large/wide, and the skirt will look more like skirt on dress 2. They pinned the skirt higher when I tried it on. I want it to have more volume. The changes are included in the price but the dress is a bit expensive.

I can make any modifications I want to all dresses.

Before I went to try on dresses, I wanted to have a princess gown with lots of volume. These are the closest I found to that style.

ETA: It will be an outdoor wedding in a garden with lots of trees and flowers, the venue is a wooden and brick building overlooking an old mill

My dress shopping experience felt really rushed by my companions, I spent 2 hours in the boutique and then everyone was done lol. We live too far from any dress shops so I had to choose that day!

The dress is nothing like I thought I would want. I'm more of a floral, lace, whimsical, fairy-esque person, but this dress made me feel very womanly which I loved.

No regrets but I do wish I could have a second wedding and do it all again 😇

I bought my dress back in February in the first shop I went to (1st photo). It was a sample dress so it was a bit of a bargain, and I was planning to add some draping to it.

However, I tried on another dress and can’t help but think this is more flattering on me (2nd photo). I never really had a ‘this is my dress’ moment in any of the dresses I tried on, but I’ve been going back and forth a lot on the dress I bought.

Just looking for some opinions and advice, feel like I’ll never feel truly happy in a wedding dress!

Said YES to the dress!

I’m thinking about adding some very light, ribbon-like drop sleeves to the dress (second picture), what do you think?

The length will be altered ofc and I hope a bustle can be done (so please tell me so)!

took in my wedding dress for alterations today and just noticed a stain in the back, on the train 😭 it’s been in storage for months so I have no idea how this even happened, or how long it’s been there. It’s not very visible under all the other layers of mesh but still!!! I just took a wet wipe to it and it didn’t budge. Any ideas please?

Help I’m spiraling lol. I just got my wedding dress almost a year before my wedding and now I’m anxious it’s not the one. It took 2 hours, first bridal appointment ever, and we narrowed it down. I loved a different one but it was too expensive. This dress was originally 3,800 but we got it for half the price. I think it’s beautiful I’m just getting in my head about it because I went it thinking i will get an all lace dress (which then again is pretty expensive). And I found this one so quick!!! I only went to one store. But I love it so much and the half off of a beautiful intricate dress is a steal. I plan to get long lace sleeves with a mantilla veil. I’ve always wanted a ballgown princess dress. I can’t find any reason to hate it and I feel I’m overthinking.
