{Can’t Afford it/Get Over it} Pnina, Claire, Melissa & Amsale
The Can’t Afford it/Get Over it Request Line continues to blow up thanks to all you beautiful, deal-seeking brides. This week, we’re getting over 4 big-ticket bridal gowns. One of them costs a whopping $11,000, but thankfully each get over it gown I found for it doesn’t come any where near that price. That just goes to show that no dream gown is too lavish, too ornate, or too expensive for me to find its get over it counterpart. So don’t be shy; send me your pic. Chances are, I may find just what you’re looking for!
Alright, let’s get to the gowns. Simply click on the photos below to find where to purchase each dress.

Great work with this post. I'm impressed with alternatives. Britt, you rule the school!
it continues to amaze me how you find "get over it dresses" that are WAY cuter that the "can't afford it" dresses! Thank you!
Hi Britt,
I just love these two gowns (Mori Lee #2405) and Brianna by Maggie Sottero http://www.weddingshoppeinc.com/pr/2405/18361?gdf… and http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?style=A33…
Agreed, both of them are under $1000 but my tight budget for gowns is $300 or at the most $350.
Can you help me look for a gown which is much cheaper but looks a bit like the one I really really like (read love)?
Thank you for including short dresses!
Loving the Kirribilla! It's so hard to find COOL short white dresses!
I actually like some of get over it dresses better than the original ones. Why to spend huge amount of money if easily you can find replacement which won't destroy your purse
All the bridal Gowns are fantastic as specially i like Mori Lee by Madeline Gardner, (“Fern” with flare!) By Anjolique Bridal, Retails for about $1000

That Elizabeth Darcy dress is MY dress!!! I was so excited to see it on your blog
I have it in Ivory and that picture doesn't do it justice. I am proof that you can find incredible wedding dresses on a budget!
Please find me an affordable version of this gown! http://www.priscillaofboston.com/dress_detail.jsp…
I got the Allure 8634 http://www.allurebridals.com/index.php?id=3&p… after seeing the Jim Hjelm 8800 http://www.jlmcouture.com/Jim-Hjelm/Bridal/Additi… and it's $4k price tag. The Allure gown is around $1100 and very similar!
Thank You!!
