When I tell people I bought my wedding dress used online, naturally I get a few concerned looks. It’s not as scary as it may sound. I promise. After I got engaged back in 2010, aside from the immediate venue search to set a date, I went straight for the dresses. I did the inevitable and fell in love with a dress I saw on Pinterest that was out of my price range. I spent months trying to find something comparable but no such luck. Then I came across a website called OnceWed, an online listing service for wedding dresses. I squealed, probably out loud, when I found my dream dress was listed at a discounted price AND in my size. You know my story ends in success but before you start binge searching dresses there a few major rules to follow.
