Here are a few ideas:
This is the most recommended solution, for it is cheap and convenient enough. You can ask friends for help if you can't find the proper ones at the local store. In that case, you have to start your "search journey" as soon as possible. You know how "hot" the wedding market is in the USA, lol.
This is risky, but if you get lucky, you could find some huge bargains for your wedding! I've seen a lot of brides who got quality dresses from eBay at incredibly low prices. There are a lot of unlucky brides too, so be careful with the seller and do as much research as you can before you make the final decision.
Lots of people will put this one in the second position, but I have to say that there are only a few families who have a seamstress where this could be done. And some times the homemade dresses cost more than buying one on-line. What is the worst case, the finished dresses are ugly and all your bridesmaids are uncomfortable with them, that would be horrible!
But for those seamstress families, this would be a perfect idea, or if you have a seamstress friend, then you can also ask her for help.
If you are looking for a replica or special custom made wedding dresses, then there are some good online websites you could try. Of course this is also risky, you'd better go to some wedding forums or brides' forums first. There you can find a lot of useful information and the people there are all very glad to help. I have seen a lot of brides who post their wedding dress pictures and reviews of some online stores such as dressilyme, landybridal, jeff liu etc. You could search them by yourself.
Good luck.
