If you’ve ever stopped by Once Wed before you probably noticed I am a HUGE fan of the fabulous wedding photographer, Leigh Miller. I always jump at a chance to post one of her weddings, so when I came across Erin and Michael’s gorgeous wedding I was delighted Leigh agreed to a feature on EAD.

Today’s real wedding is all about having fun. The very talented Heather of Amorology Weddings is the mastermind behind Dana and Lee’s whimsical wedding.

Once Wed

Once Wed grew out of my own frustration with trying to sell a wedding dress online, so I decided to launch my own listing service where women can list and search for wedding gowns for FREE. 4 months later we have close to 600 “designer wedding dresses for less” in our database and receive new, sample, and used wedding gown listings on a daily basis. Many of our gowns include designer labels such as Vera Wang, Monique Lhuillier, Melissa Sweet, and Reem Acra 50% OFF their original retail prices. Wearing a “used” gown isn’t for everyone which I completely understand, but for a lot of brides(including me) it allowed me to wear the dress of my dreams without breaking the bank. A lot of our listings include sample and new gowns as well, so there is an option for pretty much every bride. Below are some of the designer gowns we currently have on the site:
