I don't want a traditional wedding gown but I want something feminine. I have not found anything suitable. Where are some good locations to look?

Since there are less and less church weddings, and more beach weddings, it is easier to find a dress. Most of the wedding stores carry short yet bridal dresses.
Try the department stores that have bridal departments pick up a copy of one of the Bride's magazines for help. JC Penney has them, whoever said that first is right.
You could opt for something beachy and casual, like a sun dress, or just pick a short wedding dress that is not too fussy. Something cool and comfortable and airy would be nice, in case it is hot. Consider wearing something that is not white, or has some color in it/on it.
Lace would be fine. Be careful not to choose something with a full skirt, the breeze at the beach might reveal more of you than you had planned.
Consider finding a seamstress to make you a dress, since the winter months are almost here, it might be harder to find a white dress.

My best friend got married on the beach in Samoa last year. She wore a beautiful mid-length dress (to her mid calves), very soft and flowing, in shades of blue.
It has very thin straps and a wide skirt which has 'splits' around it, so it flowed really beautifully, especially when a little breeze picked up.
She pulled her hair up on top of her head with a few loose strands coming down around her face and wore blue and silver jewellery.
She looked amazing!
Her hubby wore a hawaiin shirt and longer length shorts.
They were both barefoot and had frangipani flowers in their hair (a traditional Samoan thing).
It was just beautiful, and knowing them, it was the perfect setting for them to start their life together.
Because it's the beach, don't be too formal, something lightweight and flowing is lovely, fairly casual is fine!
Mostly, what you wear should be someting you feel comfortable and special in.
The sites below have some nice dresses and gowns for special occasions (the second link even has pics of 'casual' brides and grooms on their wedding days) ~ have a wonderful wedding :-)
Cheers :-)

Beach weddings are perfect for second marriages as they are less formal. The dresses that are suited to beach weddings are also less formal and more floaty and soft. Try the following link to help you find something suitable: http://www.beachwedding-guide.com/beachweddinggown.html
Good luck and have a wonderful wedding!

If its a beach wedding, where an appropriate length sundress or a hawiian print dress.
I have put in a link of a dress I hope you like.

A long white dress, not a gown, just a simple spaghetti strap dress. Or even something strapless. Try Macy's, JCPenney, and yes even Target.com and look at some of their dresses on line.
Sort of something like thishttp://www4.jcpenney.com/jcp/Products.aspx?DeptID=597&CatID=41304&CatTyp=lfs&ItemTyp=G&GrpTyp=SIZ&ItemID=12a134e&ProdSeq=12&Cat=bridesmaids+dresses&Dep=women%27s&PCat=&PCatID=39906&RefPage=ProductList&Sale=&ProdCount=20&RecPtr=&ShowMenu=&TTYP=&ShopBy=0&RefPageName=CategoryAll%252Easpx&RefCatID=39906&RefDeptID=597&Page=2&CmCatId=597|28247|MP|bridalshop|39906|41304

Wear a shorter more casual stapless white linen type dress.
