i am looking for some suggestions for places in Austin to look for a vegan wedding dress. It doesn't necessarily need to be a wedding dress as I'm open to other white dresses and possibly vintage or used too.

Amelia's Retro Vogue & Relics on s 1st has a vast selection of vintage wedding dresses

Thanks Amelia and they have a great name too. I'll definitely check out this place. How are the prices?

More reasonable than buying brand new, that's for sure! There's also a ton of Austin designers that you could get to source for your decor, dress, etc.

type in your zip code and about 60,000 items pop up!

Also, my friend Devaki from Fun Loving Photos (funlovingphotos.net) does photobooths for weddings. It's way more fun than having a traditional photographer, and the guests have a lot of fun interacting.

I've worked with Devaki on events for the last few years with her as my photographer for Vintage Vivant (www.vintagevivant.com), and I can't recommend her enough.

here's some local wedding dresses:

I think my wife Elle actually found hers for a great price at Nordstrom, I'll try to remember to ask her. Our wedding had sort of a 20s theme

I encourage anyone to buy local, however I had no problem finding a vegan wedding dress at David's Bridal.  I also got a good deal on it, but it wasn't super fancy anyway.

Thanks everyone for the wealth of suggestions regarding wedding dresses! I'm going to head to Amelia's later today.

You can also reduce, reuse, recycle by finding a dress on Craigslist Austin. Some people buy a dress they don't end up wearing, and most dresses have only been worn once. Just avoid silk and feathers, and you should be good!
