For anyone still in the market for bridesmaids dresses, Smartbargains carries a surprising number of Vera Wang gowns, all with a $199 pricetag! Most are originally $598. Of course there are a few downsides… colors, sizes and quantities are limited (get ‘em while they’re hot!). But this would be a great option for those of you A) with small bridal parties B) open with your color scheme, or C) if you are looking for gown for yourself! Smartbargains also has a large selection of other great low price dresses so it’s worth a peek.

Long Satin Strapless Ballgown

(All $199)

I was really tempted to buy this last silver dress. Oftentimes in Chinese weddings, the bride goes through multiple outfit changes, one of which is an evening gown/ballgown. But I decided to save my money (Mr.E would be proud) and forgo tradition by wearing my wedding gown all night… mainly cuz I love it so much, and will never get to wear it again. Although I may have to change into a traditional chi-pao at some point, but that is TBD.

Are you changing dresses, cultural or otherwise, during your wedding?
