I didn't want to spend a fortune on a wedding dress yet was very picky about what I thought I wanted. I found the perfect dress for me at White Chicago. (It's nothing like what I had thought I wanted - but it is totally ME.) They specialize is once-wed and sample designer dresses. The girls there are very sweet. I spent more then I had planned but still got a designer dress for more then 50% off.

I also tried on some reasonably priced dresses at Jenny Yoo in Chicago. I didn't get my dress there but I am getting my bridesmaid dresses from there because I liked their service and options so much.
