—-This post is in collaboration with Reward Style and David’s Bridal—
I’ve been on the hunt for a second wedding dress, one that I feel like I can really dance in but still look really beautiful in photos. The first place I wanted to shop at was David’s Bridal. Not only do they have a ton of amazing, super affordable dresses, but the staff is the KINDEST I’ve encountered in the entire bridal industry.
I selected five dresses to try on that were all very different and I loved a different aspect of each individual dress but I definitely fell in love with them all. I honestly considered having a third dress for my wedding! David’s Bridal is always one of my go tos because they have some shockingly affordable WHITE x Vera Wang dresses as well which I always end up being obsessed with. They’re almost all under $1000! I also wanted to try out a gold dress because it was something a little different and the sparkle of it instantly drew me in!
David’s Bridal also has such an incredible collection of accessories and it blows me away every single time. My consultant was able to find different, equally beautiful, accessories for each individual dress. Let me just say, I have never wanted to buy so many tiaras at once in my entire life! The WHITE x Vera Wang line of veils goes perfectly with the dresses, as well as other dresses! I also want to add that shopping at David’s Bridal is also a heavily body inclusive experience. They don’t make you feel like you’re not the right size for a bridal dress or that they don’t have your size. They have so many dresses in every size that it is truly such an incredibly positive experience.
I almost wish I had a 2nd wedding dress for my wedding, but I made sure to make my first bustle in the back. I didnt find my one at David’s bridal but they treated me so well there! My sister in law found the most gorgeous dress for hers the year prior. Good luck hunting! (@withlovejoey on instal
I wandered into davids bridaL three weeks before my wedding And walked out with an amazing dreas! I ABSOLUTELY loved iT and my experience there. The best thing was that the dress ended up being leas than $500 too!

A third dress is great for your “getaway” or exit procession! Something glittery and gold is such a fun way to surprise everyone as you leave for the evening! I went with red for mine and it photographed so well and was a fun way to add another element of surprise. HOPE YOU FIND SOMETHING THAT REALLY SPEAKS TO YOU! (@amandafossett)
I live for the dress in the last pic
@chrstne_wright
That’s so Great! And by the way I’m obsessed with the gold one, it looks soooo good on you and I hope you’ll take It! Good luck with the rest of the preparations for the wedding Darling! Xoxo
