The closest one will be in Boston at the Hynes Convention Center on Friday, Feb. 22. If you've got the moxie, you can pick up a fabulous dress at an unbelievable price. Be ready to haggle with the bride that's holding the dress of your dreams though.

As unbelievable as this is, Target is selling wedding dresses. And bridemaids gowns. And wedding veils.  

Issac Mizrahi has designed a whole line for brides looking for that ideal wedding gown under $200. Sizes run from 2-20 and there’s not a dress there that costs more than $160. I think this is a great option if you’re trying to cut costs and have a pretty standard figure. I’m pretty sure Target isn’t going to be available for alterations. Bridesmaids gowns start at $30. While you may not get the top-shelf quality of a bridal store, the dresses are perfect for one-time use.

However, Target may not be the place if you’re looking to register for gifts. An Ohio newspaper reported on one bride’s experience registering at Club Wedd that left her aggravated and with numerous double gifts, which is exactly what registering is supposed to prevent. Even worse, Target wouldn’t take the gifts back without a gift receipt or the purchaser’s credit card number.

Be cautious when registering. Check out store policies in advance and make sure you’re happy with them before telling your guests to shop there.
