The following scenario will be familiar to many-a-bride:

You're flipping through your favorite bridal magazine, contentedly eyeing the many gorgeous gowns on display, when suddnly, there it is: THE dress. THE one. It's uicsolutely made for you! But wait ...ah yes, there's the hefty pricetag, the inevitable bell knoll of disappointment. "Next!" you think, as you quickly turn the page.

But wait! Such saddened haste is never entirely necessary! Sites like MyEventBid could be selling the thought-to-be-unaffordable dress, of your dreams for less ...much less. Take a look at these beauties, for example:

This satin ivory gown by Mon Cheri Is absolute show-stopper! How I love a touch of gold on a bridal gown. Such a warm glow is a welcome addition to the stark white we're so used to seeing. 

Ah yes, I love this dress ...the intricate golden embroidery, the rich ivory satin and the on-trend addition of a belt combine to form pure glamour without going over the top. This dress is formal enough for the biggest of bashes, but would also do just fine at a more casual, intimate affair.

And then there's the train, perfectly complimented by the beautiful scalloped hem. I have to say, I am a real sucker for trains. There's something so regal about the way they follow a bride down the aisle. Having a train was a "must" when I was searching for my own wedding gown.

Never altered or worn, this dress is currently selling at $850 after being purchased for $1,100.

Justin Alexander is one of my all-time favorite wedding designers. When I made my first trip to the bridal salon, I arrived equipped with print-outs of almost every dress from his current collection.

Justin Alexander's completely unique creations never fail to turn heads.I find this particular design, selling here on MyEventBid, to be especially innovative.The bow-shaped brooch on the neckline is sweet and sexy, yet still church appropriate, and the barely-there pleats give the soft, oyster-colored fabric a chic, modern day shape.

You must visit this dress to check out the pics of its back as well. They are equally, if not more, impressive! You'll find a crisper series of pleats framing an unexpected romantic design.

This particular dress is in perfect condition, has never been worn, and is selling for just $600!

Not the ball-gown type? MyEventBid is also featuring this brand new Maggie Sotterro gown at $300 off its original price of $720. I love the way it's styled in the picture below. The feathered hairpin and the strategically coiled updo definitely evoke an "Old Hollywood" vibe.

Do you have what it takes to slink through your reception in this stunner? I, for one, am definitly falling for its silky, lightweight fabric and the romantic ruching throughout.  If you'd like to give this deal an extra look, you can visit it here.

Now, ordering a gown online can be tricky. A dress may look one way in pictures, and another way once you actually have it on. Therefore, if you're considering ordering a discounted dress, visit a bridal salon to try on the style first. The staff will never know you're planning on getting a much better deal elsewhere.
