Say Yes to the pre-owned dress.

There are many things I enjoy about weddings (besides planning one of course), I absolutely love wedding dresses and I know you do too.

There are so many to choose from... However sometimes the price tag of that beautiful dress you always dreamed of is a complete turn off.

Fortunately there're a few ways around that issue.

Depending on your budget, personal taste and preferences, you can surely choose to buy it new. But if you decided to go the "pre-owned route" here are a few options.

Buying your pre-owned wedding dress online : 

While some brides decide to keepsake their dress, others use sites such as www.Tradesy.com (formally called recycled bride) or www.Oncewed.com to resell their dress and make another bride happy in the process. A large selection of previously owned dresses can be found at various prices.

You can also check out  www.Preownedweddingdresses.com/.

A different online experience: 

Nearlynewlywed.com came up with a great concept. This website allows you to enjoy the experience of buying a pre-owned dress online the same way you would if you were buying a new one in a shop.

In fact, with nearlynewlywed.com, you get to buy a "nearly new" dress, alter it and sell it right back to the site after your big day.

You can try dresses at home or at their NYC showroom. With their broad range of designer dresses, nearlynewlywed.com is definitely a great alternative.
