How To Spent Less On A Wedding Dress
A good wedding dress doesn't necessarily have to be the most expensive
, a smart bride can always spent less on a wedding dress and still look immaculate.
The trick to cutting costs when it comes to bridal gown and maids dresses is to start your shopping early, say when you get engaged. This is because good dresses that are also reasonably priced take time to locate.
Starting your search early will give you sufficient time to research various options available and also compare prices. When shopping for dresses avoid the lure to make your purchase in the first store you visit, be informed that comparison shopping is very important; don't be surprised to find a dress you saw in the first store in a couple other stores all priced differently.
Therefore, be patient and compare prices before you shop. Sometimes you can save greatly by taking advantage of the discounts offered by bridal services firms. Just be sure to quote the style number of the gown you want and designer. Discount bridal service will help you save up to 30% off the gowns retail price.
Be on the look out for days when bridal shops have trunk shows, in this you can find a number of designers dresses being offered at discount rates; check your locality for bridal stores too. The ideal months to shop for wedding dresses is January and March, most bridal outlets have wedding dresses from the previous years on clearance and they'll be trying hard to dispose them so that they have room to restock.
You can also save money on wedding dresses by purchasing off the rack or buying the display dress. You'll be able to save hundreds of dollars by using this approach. Inquire from the store whether they have a stock on clearance at low prices.
Consider borrowing a dress from a family member or a friend if you're not concerned about wearing a used dress. Borrowed wedding dress, especially from closer family members i.e. grandmother or mother can add a touch of sentimentalism to your wedding.
Check around town for resale shops and consignment outlets, many of these stock wedding dresses and some are very new, some are in the store because the original owners had their wedding called off or something like that. Various resale stores receive brand new bridal dresses discontinued or returned due to slight defects.
Thrift stores also receive new bridal clothing. I've found a number of bridal dresses at Goodwill stores with the price tag still intact.
You can also shop for a wedding dress on the cheap by looking for ones not labeled as wedding dresses. Prom and homecoming months of September and October are usually the perfect time for this, white and ivory formal dresses abound that can serve well as wedding dresses and are usually low priced.
Storm the clearance rack immediately after prom or homecoming season and you can find these dresses on the cheap. For casual wedding any elegant dress will work. Many department stores stock semi-formal dresses at prices under $100. Often nice dresses, it all depends on your preference and tastes. If you're having an outdoor summer wedding or a beach wedding then a filmy ivory or white sundress will be nice and also cost you less.
