Inspired by my own search for my wedding dress,
I decided to write this article because it turns
out you can get lucky if you research and are patient.
I started looking for my dress a few months before
I got married and I found the dress I loved, but
it was $800. My dress was really simple and this
was not in my budget, so I got the company name and
the style number and searched everywhere online and
off for this dress. Finally I found it offline for
$499 at a local bridal shop. But them I was looking
for flower girl dresses in a popular department store
catalog and imagine my surprise when I saw my dress
for $299. I couldn't believe it. I know I lucked
out, but maybe with these tips you can too!
1. Be patient. You can definitely wait to buy your
dress. With all these different companies selling
that on dress, you can search to find the best dress.
Unless you're buying a Vera Wang original, do a little
hunting!
2. Write down the designer and style number
or dress name. This is important for your research.
3. Research. Look everywhere online and off for
your dress. I found my dress online for a couple
of lower prices before I found the $299 dress. A
lot of online companies offer dresses at rock bottom
price. You can find accessories very cheap online
also. Search for "Discount Wedding Dresses".
4. Look at the wedding dresses from popular
department stores. These stores can sell the same dress at lower
prices because they have the buying power.
5. Have a style in mind, but don't get stuck
on one particular dress if you can. Learn the style
that looks best on you. I say that looks best on
you because originally I wanted one of those poofy
Cinderella dresses but I tried one on and it made
my hips look huge (and believe me I don't need any
help!). So, I tried on different dresses and chose
the style that looked best on me.
Good luck on your search and have fun planning your
wedding!
