Inexpensive Wedding Dresses

Why not get a white bridesmaid dress to use as a wedding dress. If you have some sewing skills, you can add some sequins to it or add some other type of flare. Bridesmaid dresses can range from $100 to $200 while wedding dresses can reach they sky. The cheapest most decent wedding dress I have seen was about $400. And that’s pretty cheap. If its cheaper than that, it is usually at a discount.

Of course you can rent one and act like its yours.

You can get a fashion student to sew you one.

You can get a damaged sample dress and fix it… if you know how. (Clean it, of course)

There are many ways to have fairly nice-looking wedding dress without paying the fairly high price for it.

It’s like a dream come true. Is it real? Could you be fooling yourself? You walk into a huge building with brand name wedding dresses for 1/3 the cost you find in retail stores. I don’t know about you, but I believe that is cost saving out of this world. Its more money to go towards the honeymoon . The only thing that may be lacking is the quality of service that usually comes along with big warehouses of this kind. You’re probably not going to get the same type of service that you would get at a retail bridal shop. If you don’t have a clue what you want and/or doing, it may be better to stick with the higher cost shops.

Wear it well
Make sure that you know what you want and when you are trying on your dress, that you wear the undergarments that you are going to wear on your wedding day. If you fail to wear the proper undergarments during the try-on you could end up with a completely different look or fit during your wedding day and that could be disaster.

Is it the real thing?
Make sure its not a knock-off of the real thing. Compare the tag and quality of the dress. If you can find the same dress in a retail store, it would behoove you to go there and take a look at it and touch it. Look at how its sewn and the type of fabric that is used. That way you get a good idea of what you should get.

Wedding dresses are expensive enough without adding the costs of the alterations, headpiece, veil, shoes and gloves among other things. Don’t be dumbfounded when the bill is an extra $300 to $1000 dollar increase over the dress itself. If you like paying more for those accessories then you are in the wrong place. Here are some ways to keep more paper in your purse.

Alterations
The cost of your alterations can range from $80 to $600 dollars. That’s right, $600!. (Whew..Some wedding dresses cost less than that themselves!) One way to save money is hire a seamstress that does not work in a boutique. They are usually a little less expensive. Can’t find one? Ask members of the place you worship or ask other wedding vendors like the ceremony site staff if they know any local independent tailors.

Headpiece and Veil
Make it yourself. Just make sure it won’t come apart during the wedding ceremony and you’ll be fine. Some bridal shops actually will give you a free or reduced cost veil or headpiece with the purchase of your wedding dress.

Shoes
Don’t splurge on this one. Just make sure they are comfortable so you’ll have a pleasant look on your face when your pictures are taken! If you can find one at a regular department store, you could save a few pennies.
