Know Your Wedding Dress Size

Thinking of buying your wedding dress off the rack? How about buying it from an online store. While you can save upwards of hundreds of dollars on the dress itself, it doesn’t mean that you’ll save money overall. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is getting the wrong size. You are better off letting a professional size you so that you can get your correct measurements the first time. If you measure too small, altering it could be a problem if there is not enough fabric to let out. This can result in higher than normal charges for alterations. Get the correct measurements! But if you have to..and I mean have to do it yourself, it is better to add a half inch so that it will be easier to alter. As you may have already guessed, it is easier to alter it to a smaller size than a larger one. You are almost guaranteed that your dress needs to be fitted anyway right before the wedding, so make it easier on yourself.

Start Early in Wedding Planning to Save Money

The most important tip on saving money on a wedding is to plan as soon as you know you are getting married. Even if you have not set a wedding date yet, it is important to start looking for wedding vendors who usually have decent prices throughout the year. This is important, because when you are ready to hire someone, you want to know where to look first. Trying to rush out and hire your photographer or a baker at the last minute can leave you with only a few options that can cost you extra cash. Timing is crucial they say. This can’t be more true than when you plan your wedding in the summer months. You might as well give yourself more than a year to plan. This way you can book the best deals before other couples do and have less stress in the long run.
