A lot of people are currently wondering where they can buy a wedding dress right now. And that’s a pretty legit question. With the world in a state of crisis, and supply chains interrupted, and many wedding dresses (in… the old world we used to live in) coming out of China, it can be tricky to find an off the rack wedding dress that you can get like…. now.
Maybe you’re having a virtual wedding, and want to save your dream dress for your celebration next year. Or perhaps you decided on short notice that it’s time to say ‘I do’ so you and your partner can be legally tied and make sure everyone has insurance. Or maybe you’re lucky enough to be (more or less) sticking to your original plans, but your original dress is MIA. Whatever the reason, looking and feeling your best IS NOT CANCELLED.
Wedding planning in 2020 is a challenge on its own. Deciding to speed things up, or adding a wedding to the mix of simply surviving this hot mess that is life is a massive undertaking. Finding the perfect frock to rock shouldn’t be an added stressor. So, we’ve researched pretty much the whole internet and found a bunch of off the rack wedding dresses that you can get sent your way right now.
California just joined New York in making it possible to get a marriage license and get married over the internet. We hope other states follow that lead soon. So having that virtual wedding might become a real option for you very soon. While you’re waiting, we thought we’d help you find something lovely to wear no matter the size or style of your upcoming wedding.
Note: These dresses are available to ship quickly. We didn’t include all the absolutely stunning small business options we found that would take 5-8 weeks to get, though we fully intend to round them up soon. But these are dresses you can get RIGHT NOW, because sometimes time is of the essence.
