These days it truly feels like summer is just around the corner. In our neck of the woods the spring flowers are blooming, patios are bursting at the seams with people and the walk to work seems much more pleasant in the sun.


That's why this week we're paying homage to summer, and have pulled together 5 amazing used wedding dresses that just beg for a summer wedding. Think light and breezy wedding dresses to fit your relaxed attitude. These dresses won't weigh you down in the summer heat, but instead will feel easy and barely there, allowing you to soak up your celebration into the wee hours!


The best part is that these dresses are available now (read: no 6 month wait!) and 4 out of 5 are $300 or less! So whether you’re planning a summer 2010 wedding in short order, or already thinking about your 2011 summer wedding, here is some summer wedding inspiration, courtesy of SmartBride Boutique.
