ok...1st of all to those bitches who are saying you can't where white....we all know it is very rare that a girl gets married and is a virgin and they wear white, so white does it matter if she's pregnant. she can do what she likes. if she cant wear white then wear some black panties under lol.
as for the wedding dress go to http://www.maternitybride.com/
they have a good selection. i wish you all the luck in the world.

Many stores offer maternity dresses now. I read a magazine article and it actually showed a few different choices. I wish I knew of a place to tell you, but Im not in the area. Another choice would be to buy a regular dress with an empire waist 1-2 sizes larger than you would normally wear with a flowing skirt. Good luck.

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on your upcoming marriage!! Second of all, you can wear whatever color you want to on your wedding day, and it doesn't matter if you're 3 weeks or 30 weeks pregnant. Here's a couple of suggestions for you:
Call around to several bridal stores in your area, explain your situation and be up front and honest with your expectations and the time restrictions you are under. Ask if they are even able to help you. No one may be able to help, not that they don't want to help you, but 3 weeks is not alot of time to get a dress ordered. But it never hurts to ask. They may also have something in stock, don't rule out non-maternity wear here. I don't know what your pre-pregnant size is, but if you can find a dress with an empire waist and a fuller skirt, you MIGHT be able to make it work with some alterations. Also, don't get hung up on the color, not that you don't have the "right" to wear white, but if there's a beautiful dress in a store that fits you and looks fantastic on you, don't rule it out because it's a soft yellow, or silver, or even blue.
Or, you could have one made for you. Again, be up front and honest about the time restrictions you're under. Check with a fabric store in your area, and get reccommendations on dressmakers who sew wedding dresses. Your time deadline may prove the bigger challenge to this one as well. But, like I said, it never hurts to ask.
You could also look in some specialty maternity stores, they may have a white dress for you to wear. It would probably be short, and maybe more casual than you would want as well. But that would work if you're really wanting white.
Best of luck, have fun shopping! Take care of yourself and make sure to drink plenty of water for you and that new little one!

You are not joking about the whole bad luck thing. Try and locate a dress that you like and then have it tailored into a maternity dress. You should be able to wear exactly what you want on your wedding day!

If you look at a wedding dress store, I'm sure they would have dresses for pregnant women. Or go to www.bridalchalet.com just scroll down and it will say we specialize in maternal wedding dresses and just click on that.

I would look for a formal or wedding dress with an empire waistline, which is up right under the bustline, with some shirring to give your belly some room. I would do a search: formal maternity dresses and see what comes up.

why not wait until after the baby is born to have your wedding?this way, you wouldnt have such a hard time finding a maternity wedding dress. anyways, i think davids bridal has some nice ones you could use, and they can alter a large wedding gown for you to fit your body if they dont have a maternity one

I have no idea where you can find one but you'll be a beautiful bride in whatever dress you find!
A friend of mine got married when she was 8 months pregnant and wore a beautiful white dress...but I think she had it made.
