Ha! I know. Ever since I started planning my wedding last month, it's like my eyes are peeled for any mention of the word. Weird... I hope it goes away later, I don't want to become one of those bridezillas :) As for finding a dress that isn't a crazy cream puff, try http://www.gatheringguide.com for finding stores in your area you haven't checked yet. It turned up some stores for me that were awesome and I'd driven by a million times without seeing. “What is it about wedding dresses that perk up women’s ears?” Ha! I know.

I especially like the Maya dress in its various colors: http://www.igigi.com/shop/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&currentpage=2&Product_ID=508&fromcat=52&disptype=3 It’s worth noting that Igigi sells several dresses that would work for a wedding and not break the bank… although if you’re going somewhat casual (or at least, not long and white) I’d look under the “wedding party” and “guests” tabs more than the actual “bride” one…

I am overwhelmed with these links. I love that several of you found a pink-and-brown dress, and it's really pretty. (Actually both the Maggy London and the JS Boutique ones are pretty.) I also am drooling over the Watters & Watters site, and I found a couple I really love from there. I will post more when my head stops spinning. You guys are really good!

I suggest you google plus size wedding dress. From there you’ll see lots of multi-purpose wedding dresses for your size from Plus Size Bridal. If you want cool and elegant wedding dresses, you might as well visit Sydney’s closet. Now, if you’re someone who is signature or brand conscious, check out House of Brides. No, I don’t work for these sites. I just think they’re of great help for you because you have the same problem as my aunt before. And she found one beautiful dress from one of these sites. Hi there!

And inexpensive. That may not be a biggie for you, but speaking as someone who got married in a $75 wedding gown from the Montgomery Ward catalog, it is something I always consider. http://www.avenue.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay

The uber-gorgeous ones will set you back about a grand. :) Chinese-tailor.com will custom make gorgeous chinois-y dresses in a variety of styles for around $200. It takes about 3 weeks to ship from Hong Kong or you can pay a bit extra for expedited shipping and get in about a week. I've bought a bunch of clothing from them and everything is absolutely perfect. Whoever mentioned a sari, have you ever priced those gorgeous saris on University Ave?
