Perhaps you've looked at the slick bridal magazines and designer gowns but you've decided that vibe is so not your thing. So where do you go to find that perfect wedding dress that fits your retro style? Save money and time and shop online. These websites showcase beautiful vintage wedding dresses at reasonable prices.
Etsy
Etsy is an incredible marketplace for both handmade and vintage items. Whether you want an actual vintage gown or a handmade retro style gown created just for you, you'll find plenty of options. While you're here, you can also buy wedding decor, stationery, jewelry, and bridal party thank-you gifts.
eBay
Of course eBay is an obvious place to look for vintage and worn-once wedding gowns. Their seller ratings and buyer protections help you put your mind at ease when you're making this kind of investment. You can also find just about any kind of wedding accessory you might need.
Millcrest Vintage
Millcrest Vintage is a straightforward vintage dress online shop. You won't find accessories or new dresses made to look old here. Once a gown is gone, it's gone. Shop by era: Edwardian, for example, or any specific decade from the 1920s to the 1980s. Virtually all of the dresses are under $400, with some under $150.
Unique Vintage
Unique Vintage isn't a vintage shop at all, but rather, it's vintage-inspired. Regardless, you'll find a large selection of brand new vintage style wedding dresses, shoes, and accessories. You can also find bridesmaids dresses and wedding guest dresses with that retro flair. There are a number of retro style wedding dresses under $50 here.
The Ivy Retreat
The Ivy Retreat is a true vintage shop, carefully curated with gowns from the 1930s through the 1970s. Each gown is one of a kind. Prices start well under $200. You won't find any other wedding accessories besides dresses at The Ivy Retreat, but there are many other vintage items unrelated to weddings here.
