Brides-to-be, you know the editors at BG are always looking for ways to help you scout the best bridal finds for the lowest prices. We think you're going to be really ecstatic about our latest discovery — ideeli.com and gilt.com, two of our fave shopping sites, are hosting their second bridal sales, since their first ones were such a success!

The Ready, Set, Wed! sale on ideeli.com starts tomorrow at 11 a.m. for first row members (who pay a fee to have exclusive access to select sales) and 12 p.m. for all other registered users. Be prepared to click items into your cart at lightning speed — items are up to 70% off, so the competition will probably be even fiercer than their first sale! Offerings run the gamut from big-ticket items (wedding gowns from Nicole Miller, bridesmaid dresses from Tahari, among others) to finishing touches (shoes from Badgley Mischka, photo books from mypublisher.com, even goodies off your registry). Experiencing a serious case of wanderlust? They've got honeymoons, too.

If the discount smorgasboard at Ideeli doesn't completely tire you out, set up a cell phone reminder to scope out gilt.com's Wedding Sale Shop on Thursday, April 14 at noon. Like the other sale, bridal-party accessories, gowns, and more are up for grabs from designers such as Judith Lieber and Vera Wang Bridesmaids. If your fiance is just as fashion-forward as you are, send him on over to the site too, since they'll be plenty of options for him and his groomsmen. Unlike other sales, this is the first one we've seen that actually has destination-wedding packages. Say Yes to the Dress fantatics, get ready to squeal and jump up and down: The shop includes early admission to the Kleinfeld sample sale! If you're a West Coast bride, you can purchase tix for an event at the Vera Wang Store in L.A., where you'll have the chance to chat with Yifat Oren, celeb wedding planner extraordinaire. As if that wasn't enough, you can register for their Big Bridal Sweepstakes, where one grand prize winner will walk down the aisle in a Marchesa gown, complete with an all-expenses paid trip to NYC for her fitting.
