Glamour Closet Sample Sale Saturday and Sunday: Every chic bride knows that without the dress of her dreams, the wedding might as well be canceled.

Styles by Vera Wang, Reem Acra, Monique Lhuillier and Carolina Herrera -- once priced up to $10,000 -- are on sale for $999 or less. Most dresses are size 8 or size 10, all sales are final, and you'll be changing in a ballroom full of strangers.
