Welcome back to your weekly “Dream Dress for Less” where we feature gorgeous wedding gowns under $1,500. It takes some digging but they do exist. Let us do the legwork so you can relax and enjoy one of the most wonderful times of your life. Take a look at this week’s find:

By now, you’ve probably read my blog about the new, affordable Vera Wang collection at David’s Bridal. I took a trip to one of their stores last Friday to see the gowns in person and was very impressed. The fabric wasn’t sub-par (which I had feared) and the dresses looked just as they do in the photos. I am truly envious of all of you who are getting married soon and can buy one. Why, oh why, didn’t Vera do this eight years ago when I got married??? Ok, enough whining. The lovely frock pictured here is one of my favorites and the price? A cool $1,300 (not including the $88 sash). I don’t know if it gets any better than this.
