DISCOVERIES : the insider's guide to what's new and interesting

Great White Way

If you think consignment shopping or bargain hunting will take some of the magic out of finding your dream dress, think again. White Chicago, an ultra-modern, totally sophisticated salon has turned savvy spending into a glamorous art. Brides can choose between continuously updated collections of once-wed (consigned) dresses, new designer samples (think Monique Lhuillier and Vera Wang), and unsold, past season gowns all at 30%-70% off the way it should be: with a one-on-one appointment instead of aimlessly sifting through unsightly racks. And trying on the dresses means walking their sleek, white runway for a preview of your big day. White Chicago's oasis-like atmosphere allows brides to save (or sell) on their wedding dresses without sacrificing style or service. For more information visit whitechicago.com or call 312.397.1571.
