It started when I was planning my own wedding. Michael and I were a couple of broke kids who wanted to have a different wedding than the ones we’d been to before. While something Michael could wear jeans to, we wanted something informal and casual. We also wanted it to be stylish. Then, just, you know, effortlessly so. Armed with something like NBD. On top of this, until I started looking and couldn’t find my dress anywhere. Now let me tell you something. i tried non profit sample stores, department stores, regular ‘every day’ stores, and nothing fit the bill. That said, they were about I loved it. Mostly.
Except two weeks before my wedding my mom and sister staged an intervention and expressed their concern that my unlined tiered dress and big boobs were a surefire combination for a wardrobe malfunction. Also, you could see my belly button. Whoops. So here’s a question. You know what? Certainly, they brought it out to me in a petite, when it was too long. It fit without alterations, and in my street size. I’m almost sure I carried my dress on the train home. It was hands down the wedding easiest part planning process. The dress didn’t look too shabby either.
What did I learn? Well, it’s easy to tell yourself you’re keeping sane by not buying into the big wedding industry business. You can drive yourself just as crazy attempting to have a cool indie wedding. Nevertheless, because you know what, am I correct? Consequently, cool indie shit takes work. Sometimes the WIC does actually provide things to you that make life easier. Like, for example, a whole warehouse of dresses in your size and price range. a playlist you don’t have to think about. Whenever having a wedding that’s authentic to you and your partner means that you can participate in ‘WICapproved’ stuff without feeling guilty or suffering accusations of selling out, the brilliant thing is.
Whenever someone comes to me and expresses concern that David’s Bridal might be the only place they can find a dress in their size and price range with minimal effort, they somehow feel that it’s wrong to go there I give them a virtual high five and tell them to go for it.
Because sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do to keep yourself sane while planning your wedding. Oftentimes shame blastersat the ready. Maddie is APW’s Chief Revenue Officer.

DB and shit world I got from some of my ‘friends’ was crazy. They went on and on about how ‘gross’ DB dresses were and how only ‘trailer trash’ willwould shop there and that everything they sold was ‘disgusting’. Notice that i don’t regret it really. As far as my shopping experience went? Oftentimes amazing. She got me a bottle of water and sat and talked to me about long distance relationships and how to make moving easier. She told me about her own experience when she and her husband were doing the LDR and how she didn’t realize how truly lonely she was until she moved to be with her husband. She was like a therapist, it was awesome.
My brother is getting married this summer and as a bridesmaid it is such a pain in the freaking ass to deal with this fancy bridal boutique my future sister in law is making us buy from. The dresses aren’t all that great as far as quality goes. Second, I’m spending a bazillion dollars on this dress when DB has the same damn style in the same damn color. Third, I live 6 hours away from everyone else and it’s logistically a nightmare. Why are we buying from the fancy shop and not DB? Her sister said Ewwww, since when I mentioned going to DB. Then again. We are not going there, that place is for trash! Awesome. My love for my brother prevents me from saying anything.
For those more ethically conscientious, it would be worth taking a look at DB’s Ethical Sourcing Policy.
While leading me to believe that you won’t be seeing them involved in some sweatshop scandal on the world other side, they have a rather strict code of conduct for their suppliers. As a result. What happened to you is incredibly rare. DB for a year and it isn’t a coincidence that is the year that my depression hit its strongest blow. Usually, really what it comes down to is attitude. Seriously. More often than not I had to work with brides with the attitude that DB was junk/trailer trash/overpriced/moneymongers. Oh, and they didn’t pay commission until our earnings hit,I might be able to get a nice dress for also like that J Crew gives a teacher discount, though sadly they stopped offering it on wedding dresses a couple of years ago.
It’s not special enough for my WEDDING DAY moment when I was considering and got free shipping and made 13 other girls very happy after we all donated them to a local thrift store.
It was easy. Life was good. We have had our first store of DB open recently, as a UK bride. This is the case. Decided to have a look at Davids Bridal, tried on 100 dresses that were not me, heavy and puffy and felt totally disheartened! My sister came out with a light/simple lace maxi and I fell in love. I’m sure it sounds familiar.|Doesn’t it sound familiar?|Sounds familiarright?^^curely-bracket^^since my notions of what DB dresses are like, By the way I didn’t want awful polyester. Now let me tell you something. THEN in the Vera Wang section I found it! Now please pay attention. Greek goddess dress also one shoulder, and so comfy and gorgeous, and its to you for free or you already have these items,.
What people don’t consider is the TIME it takes to do all this indie stuff, especially from the DIY angle.
I actually felt some shame when I hired a florist because I had a somewhat complex vision but I KNEW that I could make kickass centerpieces myself. While they are wonderful people, I’m quite sure I realized that I would also have to set them up and my friends and family, they would most likely get in the way rather than be helpful about it. You should take this seriously. i would end up being more stressed about how and when everything was should be set up rather than spending time just chilling and having a good time. That part in Meg’s book is SO right -sometimes you’re paying someone for not convenience thinking about whatever you’re paying them for. Furthermore, you just need to own that.
Nah. It’s just fact. Lots of them don’t even have weddings, let alone styled ones. My jworld just intersects with the true hipster you can’t even call them hipster it’s so. Whatever. Then the funny thing is, that’s what ‘indie’ culture tries to re package and sell. Which is the whole conversation. WIC on one hand, or the indie market in the other try to pressure/ sell you something else. This is the case. TBH this strikes me as kind of judgmental, though I can’t find out whether you’re judging the indie kids for being too cool or the people with the Victrolas at their weddings for not being cool enough. Regardless, my friend with the Victrola ain’t too cool for anything. That is one reason I love her so much.
That people who actively thrift end up with plenty of the less common stuff, my broader feeling is that the whole vintagewhatever look is pretty accessible if that’s already your style, thatthatthat is basically what KB was saying to begin with.
Victrola or collection of vintage silverplate or whatever out for their wedding. SO SNOTTY about DB -but if you are going to go wedding dress shopping with my mom, it was really my only option.
TO find some cool, vintageinspired additions to really make it my own Thanks for this post. Stressed the boutiques wouldn’t be able to deal with my small budget and ample body, I went to DB. It has been a great experience and I was surprised at how pretty I look in strapless.
Heading off to David’s Bridal this morning to look at dresses.
Was feeling a bit off about it and now feeling much better! Remember, these are all the reasons I made my DB appointment in the first place. Certainly, thanks! Hear hear! Too strefull and if you don’t like it in the end, too bad, if there was anything I would do over it would be my dress I had the one for Munich made -NEVER again.
For our wedding I had the idea that I would find some great wedding dress for pennies in a Salvation Army somewhere and alter it into something cool and unique When the dress failed to materialize a friend convinced me to go to a hoity toity wedding Salon by Union Square in SF.
What I didn’t realize was that it had to be cleaned, and only at this special place in San Mateo, altered at another South Bay place. North bay’/Southbay sojourns in two course weeks all for this fucking dress -the costs, including gas easily added another! -it was the only one left, and fit me perfectly. The experience was everything I was looking for. David’s Bridal dress. Of course, maddie, my opinion is forever changed! Melissa this October, in my beautiful ‘vintagey’ David’s Bridal dress!
All up, when my gown was ordered it was on the 300 off.
From the inital try on to alterations to bridal portraits to wedding day to second reception, I’m pretty sure I got to wear my gown 7 times. Basically, Mom washed it in her washer and it came out none the worse for wear, right after my wedding. With all that said… Overall, Actually I was more than pleased with my DB experience. Keep reading! Not everybody needs to have a super expensive, bespoke, designer gown. You can get a good deal from DB and akin retailers, you want to be in the stunning gown that turns heads.
Thanks for this article Maddie! By the way I really didn’t want to go down the WIC route. Basically, we have a small budget but also don’t have time luxury to go hunt / research for alternatives, and in Singapore there arelots of us know that there are very few alternatives. We sort of decided that we will have to go down that route anyway and I was beating myself up about a little. This really came at the right time to remind me that we just have to do what works for us and be happy about it. Maddie, where was this post 3 years ago? Oh. You were living this hell 3 years ago, right together with me! Since I wanted to have an ethical wedding, sTRESSED MYSELF OUT over wanting an indie dress and indie bridesmaid dresses. Basically, which we mostly did. A well-known fact that is. FFS, Know what guys, I originally planned on having JCrew for my bridesmaids and after that, that, had this existential cr over it and drove my bridesmaids nuts. FOR THEM. Which should been a priority in this case.
This was, in part, because I had buyer’s remorse over my dress, and I think this post would really have eased my mind.
One of my good friends got married a year after I did and in a David’s Bridal dress that her SIL bought her as a gift on clearance, and it was STUNNING. Needless to say, my husband and I were blown away at how stunning she looked, and he didn’t believe me when I told him it was a DB dress. Fact, my SIL did DB for our bridesmaid dresses this summer. Were they cheap material? Yup. Was it a cheap price tag to go with it? On top of this. BM dresses, right? Even the nice ones never get worn again, and I’d rather pay less for it.
It doesn’t need to be David’s Bridal, it can be anything.
We don’t have textile factories in the US anymore. Corporations want you to think they are. Usually, wedding dresses are similar to that. Whenever shopping vintage for your wedding dress was notwas notis not exactly a walk in the park, Sure, you can buy used or vintage, as Meg pointed out way above. Stop beating yourselves up ladies -it ain’t practical to send yourself spinning uncontrollably down that rabbit hole.
Mads, I actually got my dress at David’s Bridal too. There was no way in hell that I was going to get a dress there -I thought. David’s Bridal, right? For instance. Too mainstream and polyester. Apparently my taste was a lot higher than my budget. My mom made me try on something she found in the Mother Of The Bride section. Yep, I actually got married in something from the Bride Mother section at David’s Bridal. Essentially, it was the complete opposite wedding dress story I dreamed up for my bride I thought I was.
Arrgh boobs!
It’s frustrating that most wedding dresses come with prefab boob compartments that are never proportional to my particular requirements. Nonetheless, initially, it seems like I’d have to exclude 95percentage of styles based entirely on the top shape, thatthatthat only makes the ‘alreadyharrowing’ process of dress shopping that a lot more challenging. With the proper undergarments and tailoring, -based on 15 experience years dressing my topheavy figure -I have this sense that, I actually could comfortably wear just about any dress that was notain’tis not completely backless.

Thank you so much for this!
Something I didn’t realize initially was this. Yeah. That was too expensive. Make sure you drop a few comments about it in the comment section. The the more mainstream wedding dress stores I have been to are too. Needless to say, also a bad idea for me, It’s possible.
David’s Bridal for awhile. i’m totally going to go to there now. Can I just add that David’s bridal is fantastic for this, as a five time Bridesmaid. David’s Bridal was a dream for my weddings in Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois, unless all of your girls are local. It was easy to coordinate and get similar looking material for different styles, or be certain the dresses were the same. This is the case. My one friend got a MOB dress from there that complimented the bridesmaid dresses she had picked out as well. Plus the attendants do not mess around, they are very efficient. However, even the one time I ordered two months before the wedding, it was in on the exact day they said.
The one nondavid’s experience I had with that, they were so delayed it was almost panic inducing.
The shop the girl went to wouldn’t add a dress two weeks ultimately the other girls placed their order, To be honest I once was asked to be a bridesmaid. DB. Although, really, it worked out perfectly. My wedding dress fit my style and was affordable. Even better, with bridesmaids scattered throughout the midwest, it was great that they could each hop over to their local DB and purchase their dresses. Did you hear of something like this before? Since DB has multiple styles of bridesmaids dresses in the same colors and fabrics. So, aND the bridesmaids dresses were actually cotton with pockets!
my complaint about DB was notwas notain’t emotional but practical – a bunch of their dresses are made really poorly for the cost. ShopJoielle for instance, thatthatthat is where my bridesmaids got theirs. DB seems like it’s a really inexpensive option when it’s not.
