Tips for Shopping for Your Wedding Dress

Buying your wedding dress can be very stressful. This seems especially true for brides trying to work on a smaller budget. However, if you are trying not to murder the wallet there are still options. Don’t fret you can get a beautiful dress on most any budget!

A few things you will want to consider before even beginning your search are:

• What is your budget?
• How long do you have?

Figuring out your budget is mandatory. You don’t want to guess or sway from the numbers you choose. You need to stay firm to make sure you stay within your overall budget for the entire event. Once you have the budget for your dress you can move forward and figure out your timeline. The shorter the timeline the more you are limited in choices.

If you are getting married a ways out you have the additional options below that are not usually possible for someone getting married on a shorter timetable.

• Can try to follow and attend sales in the area.
• Bargain shop
• Price check
• Plan to go to David’s Bridal Bridal Sample Sales typically held in the fall
• Try to attend Kleimfeld’s (from the TLC show Yes to the Dress) Sample Sales
• Use online since you have time for shipping

If you are getting married quickly and don’t have the time to wait for sales and price check every store you still have choices.

• Check local bridal stores.
• Go to bridal shops friends have got their dresses from
• Use online cautiously. Only buy from a company with high ratings (check their ratings on google). Only buy from a company who offer a rush order (such as http://www.inweddingdress.com/style-de147.html). Do the fastest one! Remember you need to try it on and make sure it fits so there is never a day to waste. This is an option, but the closer to your deadline you get the more I’d suggest avoiding this option.

There are couple additional options that work on any time schedule and offer a budge-friendly benefit.

• Consignment shops are available in most locations. They are a second-hand store. However, that is not something to put your nose up at. They are gorgeous, lightly-used dresses that often are just as beautiful as the ones you could pine over in a regular shop for triple the price.
• Renting a dress is also an option. It is less popular; however, I believe this is due partly to people being unaware of the option. charge a flat fee for you to rent a dress. There are a vast amount of options. You have to make an appointment, but are guaranteed assistance with any questions, fitting, or renting you may have/want to do.
