Little Known Ways To Find A Beautiful And Affordable Wedding Dress

Finding a beautiful yet affordable wedding dress can require time and effort. Many wedding gowns are too expensive for the average couple's wedding budget. Here's a couple ways to save money on your wedding dress.

First tip, don't shop in the wedding department. There is usually a surcharge for dresses in this department. Instead, shop at the formal evening wear department or even the prom dress department.

If you’ve got plenty of time before the wedding, check out the sales at wedding salons. Bridal gowns go on sale after June. Also, check out sample or floor model gowns. Many of them are still in great shape. Some discontinued wedding dress models are very inexpensive compared to most other wedding gowns. And surprisingly some wedding gowns are ordered but not picked up. These can be bought at a low price.

Remember that veils are less expensive than wedding gowns. You can spend more on a great veil because you’re looking for an inexpensive wedding dress.

Ebay and the newspaper are good places to shop for inexpensive gowns. Also, use Google by searching these keywords: “wedding dress +bargain”, “wedding dress +cheap”, and “wedding dress +discount”.

While you’re online, do a search on wedding outlet stores. You may find a great deal at these online wedding stores. Just make sure to find out the style and manufacturer of the dress you’re interested in. Bridal outlet stores will ask for this information. Also, give them your measurements to find out 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 great.

Think about renting your wedding dress. The guys rent tuxedos, so why can’t you rent your wedding clothes? Renting will save you a lot of money. In fact, you can expect a 90% discount on your bridal dress. This means you can wear a $1200 dress for $120!

Check out the dresses at consignment shops or high fashion/couture wear second hand shops. You can find these shops at every major city.

Talk to your friends and relatives. They may have a dress you can borrow.

Consider 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 cheap dresses for your bridesmaids.
