How to Find a Discount Wedding Dress
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderately EasyThings You’ll Need:
- Time
- Patience
- Newspaper classified ads
- Directions to secondhand and consignment stores
Decide what you want in a wedding dress. Think about whether you want long sleeves or a strapless gown, a straight skirt or a flowing train, satin or lace, etc. Searching for a discount wedding dress will be easier if you have a goal in mind.
Step2
Shop end-of-season clearances. At the end of the season, bridal shops will sell their in-stock display dresses at a fraction of the original cost. This offers a great opportunity to purchase the name-brands and styles you want while keeping your finances secure.
Step3
Read the classified ads. You can often find dresses for sale. Some will be worn once, and others will be new dresses from weddings that never happened. Classified ads can also alert you to yard sales with wedding attire for sale.
Step4
Visit secondhand and consignment shops. Scour the racks for potential weddings dresses. You may need to visit often for the best selection.
Step5
Head to the mall. Check out the formalwear selections in department stores. Some prom and holiday dresses would be suitable for wedding wear.
Step6
Be flexible. When shopping for discount wedding dresses, you'll find a smaller selection than if you had an unlimited budget. You may need to rethink some of your original ideas on what you're looking for in a dress, or you may need to get creative with some alterations. Don't compromise on anything that will make you unhappy, but don't hold on to an impossible fantasy.
