I'm trying to help my friend find places in the Washington DC area where you can buy wedding dresses that don't cost an arm and a leg. She's already gone the David's Bridal route, but she wants more options. The problem is all the specialty boutiques are so expensive! It's going to be a low-key wedding so she'd like to keep the budget below $1,000 including alterations and the veil, so I'm thinking the dress itself shouldn't be over $700. Any ideas where to look?
Answer
tell her to try looking at high end department stores. that is an often forgotten source for great prices on wedding gowns and other wedding party outfits, including bridesmaid dresses. places like macy's, dillards, norstroms, and jcpenny have amazing prices on their wedding dresses. most of them priced under 500 dollars.
if you want a more traditional experience, try the macy's tyson's galleria in mcclean va. they carry demetrios wedding gowns.

Peruvian wedding dresses?

me and my fiance are getting married in peru and i was wondering if buying a dress in peru would be cheaper than buying one in virginia?
and if so, is there a website that i can look at the dresses??
Answer
dark rose-
first let me extend my Congratulations to the groom and Best Wishes to you (the bride).
My friend lived in Peru for quite some time, and the merchandise there is much more affordable than items here in the U.S. However, the selection of wedding dresses may not be as vast as in VA.
You didn't specify if you want a traditional Peruvian dress or a more modern styled one.
If you want a traditional Peruvian dress- your best bet is to buy it in Peru. Try to get there a while earlier than your wedding date because it may end up needing to be tailored or custom made for your body shape/size.
However, if you want a modern dress, I would advise you to buy it in VA. The reason why is because you don't want to be stressed out while your vacationing in Peru for your wedding if it turns out that you can't find the "right" dress. Also, since there is much more competitors in the bridal dress industry in the US, prices for modern dresses would be cheaper here. I am familiar with VA, I advise you shop around in the northern part of the state and closer to the Washington D.C. area since there are ton of large department stores with dresses as well as smaller boutique style bridal shops.
Good luck!
