You all know how much I love designer wedding gowns—the Dress Envy archives are proof enough of that! Despite how much I swoon over the latest Vera Wang or Amsale though, I can’t help but cringe at the price tags. Even though I know how much artistry and craftsmanship go into making these exquisite gowns, it is pretty darn hard to justify spending so much on something you’ll wear for just a few hours.

That’s where PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com comes into the picture. The site has over 12,000 (!!) new sample and pre-owned designer wedding gowns at a variety of price points that you can search for by style, designer, price, and city. My favorite feature is that you can sign up for alerts when a gown you love is added to the site or goes on sale—how convenient is that?

I tried the search tool out myself to see if a few of my personal favorite gowns were available. Guess what? All of them are available on PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com right now!

If you want a completely new dress but need a different way to ease the price, consider selling your gown via PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com after your big day. That way, you’ll make some of the money back and your gown can make the day of another lucky bride!

Love, Lisa
