Where To Search For Unique Wedding Gowns

Since it takes time to locate unique wedding gowns, you need to start looking as early as 9 – 12 months before your wedding. Try looking in the bridal magazines first.

Go to your local bookstore. Look through the popular and the smaller specialty bridal magazines.

The specialty bridal magazines feature more of the ‘lesser known’ wedding gown designers. They usually have very creative designs. You have to go to the big book stores to find these magazines.

Barnes and Noble Bookstores have a large selection of bridal magazines in the magazine area of the store.

"I personally like the bridal magazine by The Knot. It has many pictures of gowns by well know and 'little known' designers." You will find many unique wedding gowns featured on the pages. Not as much advertising as the other bridal magazines.

If you have a year or more to plan for your wedding, I suggest you subscribe to one or two of the bridal magazines to save money off of the retail rates. Doing this not only saved me money but time also. It is so convenient just to receive the magazine through the mail.

Go on the www.knot.com and the www.weddingchannel.com to use their search tool on their wedding dress finder. It's a great source for wedding dress pictures.

In some cases you will need to consider having a wedding dressmaker design a custom wedding dress for you.

In this case you would need to contact a dressmaker with your ideas 1 year in advance. Why so much time?

Well, the dressmaker will need to schedule your fittings and the time to construct your gown.

You will need to see her several times before your dress is completed. Dressmakers who have been in business a long time can be booked up early.

Your sewing professional will need the wedding dress pictures you collected from the web or the bridal magazines, to get an idea of what you want.

So if you need a custom made unique wedding gown, determine what your wedding dress design will be early so you can get it to a sewing professional early.

"Here is a ruffled skirt done in a unique pattern that adds interest to the dress. This bridal dress has hiding power, especially if you have a pear shaped body type!"

There are other places you can look for unique wedding gowns. Have you seen the gowns by department store designers? Some of them have unique wedding dress designs and at an affordable price. Most department stores like Macy's and Bloomingdale's only sell their gowns online. You cannot find wedding gowns in the department stores.

"This is a show stopper gown!" This fit and flare wedding gown is full of drama! Love the the handkerchief hemline forming the tiers of the bridal gown skirt. This fitted dress style will show off a curvy figure with hourglass shaping. Also if you have a slightly rectangle body shape with the right shapewear you could pull this off."

This is an example of substituting an evening gown to use as a wedding gown. Sometimes when you want a truly unique wedding gown you have to look at evening and prom dresses. If you don't want the traditional look but still want a white gown this is the best option."
