How to Wear the Wedding Dress of Your Dreams Without Paying Retail (and then Recoup Your Costs!)

Wow your betrothed (and guests) as you glide down your aisle, radiant and glowing in the designer wedding gown of your dreams! PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com provides an online marketplace where sellers of new, sample and gently used wedding dresses link up with fashion savvy brides who want the best for less. Since launch in 2004, this site has connected over 15,000 blissful brides around the world, making dreams come true at a fraction of the cost of retail.

A tip for our Newlyweds: Sellers pay a one-time fee of just $25 to list their bridal gown, and a meager $5 to list bridesmaid dresses, mother’s dresses, flower girl dresses, and accessories. Brides and sellers negotiate privately, and PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com assesses no commission or additional fees. What could be more simple and stress-free? No need to choose between planning a fabulous destination wedding or wearing the dress of your dreams – we say you deserve both!

Dreaming of a strapless, floor length Oscar De La Renta couture gown with a sweetheart neckline? Perhaps you favor a Moshe ball gown with a fitted bustier slathered with Swarovski crystals?
