Reclaiming traditions: you CAN love a taffeta wedding dress
“I’m going through the traumatic process that is wedding dress shopping, and I’m really open-minded about what I’ll consider (you have to be when white isn’t in the plans). But I didn’t expect to fall in love with a taffeta dress online… Taffeta?!”

When your stunning pink wedding dress is a $90 Amazon find
We featured this gorgeous bride, Skyler, on our Instagram and people went a little wild. Her en fuego hair, that elegant venue, and her fab pink wedding dress that must have cost a pretty penny from some bridal salon. Wait, what’s that again? It’s under a hundred bucks on Amazon? It comes in more than 16 colors? Buuuh, okay… *Runs over to Amazon before the sentence is finished.*
I bought a colored wedding dress and now everyone’s mad! What should I do?
I come from a family of strict traditionalists when it comes to everything, especially weddings. I recently bought a peach wedding dress with no sleeves and expressed I wanted light blue hair and Converse to go with it. As you can imagine, things didn’t go over well.

These prom dresses can be the affordable alternative wedding dresses of your dreams [Updated for 2022!]
Prom dresses, bridesmaid dresses, ballgowns, formal dresses… all of these terms can totally mean WEDDING DRESSES. Plus, they’re almost all sub-$500 which means they’re alternative wedding dresses on a budget. I went a-scouring the prom and bridesmaids sections to see what steals and deals I could find in pinks, metallics, whites, creams, florals, and so many more. Y’all know you can wear white, but don’t discount the rest of the rainbow. Those blush sequins need someone to wear ’em, right? I guess I’ll just have to take one for the team and wear them all. It’ll be hard, but I’ll try to manage.
Go beat me to them and find that prom dress turned wedding dress right now…
