Little Known Ways To Find An Affordable Wedding Gown
By: Dee Bovis
Finding a beautiful yet affordable wedding dress can take time and effort. Many wedding dresses are too expensive for the average bride's wedding budget. Here's a couple ways to save money on your wedding dress.
First tip, don't shop in the bridal department. There is usually a surcharge for dresses in this department. Instead, shop at the formal evening wear section or even the prom dress section.
If you’ve got enough time before your wedding, look for sales at wedding salons. After June, many bridal dresses go on sale. Also, check out sample or floor model dresses. Many of them still look great. And don't forget discontinued bridal dress models. These models are much cheaper than the average bridal dress. And sadly some bridal dresses are paid for but not picked up. You can buy these bridal dresses at a discount.
Remember that wedding veils are cheaper than wedding dresses. Spend more on a great veil while saving money on the dress.
Ebay and the newspaper are good places to find inexpensive dresses. Also, use Google search by searching these keywords: “wedding dress +cheap”, “wedding dress +bargain”, and “wedding dress +discount”.
While you’re online, search for wedding outlet stores. You may find an affordable dress at these online bridal stores. Just make sure you know the manufacturer and style of the dress you’re interested in. Wedding outlet stores will want this information. Also, take your measurements beforehand to see if they have a dress that will fit you. If you do buy a dress from a wedding outlet store, the dress will be sent in a box. Don't worry though. A trip to your favorite dry cleaners will make the dress look good as new.
Think about renting your wedding dress. The guys get to rent tuxedos, so why can’t you rent your bridal dress? Renting will save you a lot of money. You can expect a 90% discount on your wedding dress. This means you can wear a $1500 dress for $150!
Scout out the dresses at consignment shops or high fashion/couture wear second hand shops. You can find these shops at every major city.
Ask your relatives and friends. They may have a dress they can lend to you.
Think about having your dress made. This is a great alternative if you want the elegant, sleek dress. Designer dresses use the same silk found in fabric shops.
Finally, use these tips to find inexpensive dresses for your bridesmaids.
