I guess my wedding dress search was pretty atypical: I didn’t step foot in a bridal salon, I didn’t suffer from a ton of indecision, and I spent under $500.

I decided pretty early on in the game that I wanted something vintage. It goes along with the whole “eco” theme I had in mind from the beginning–you know, there’s no need to buy something new when something old will do. But also, I happened to stumble across this amazing online boutique based out of California that sells beautiful, one-of-a-kind vintage clothing and accessories, Posh Girl Vintage. They have a ton of dresses that either are or could be wedding dresses, and they also have a lot of other cute evening wear.

Right away I was drawn to these two tea-length numbers.

… but, alas, they were both sold already.

I relentlessly trolled the website until one day, I stumbled upon this. (Don’t click, Dude.) I was at my parents’ house, visiting for Mother’s Day, and I showed it to my mom. She loved it, so I ordered it right then and there. It made her really happy that she got to “go wedding dress shopping” with me.

I got the dress, and it fit perfectly, so that was that. Or was it?

Would you consider buying your wedding dress without trying it on first? Are there any brides out there that bought their dress online?
