We can’t think of a bigger nightmare than lining up with thousands of grabby, frantic bargain dress hunters à la Filene’s Running of the Brides. Fortunately, Vows is packed with designer gowns from the likes of Monique Lhuillier, Reem Acra, and Pronovias at steep discounts. And with a recently added accessories selection that includes bags, jewelry, and shoes, getting the head-to-toe look for less is a thoroughly civilized endeavor.
