Wedding Gowns : Money Saving Tips

  • Start shopping early, and call your local shops to enquire about any sales that they may have.

  • Choose a simpler style gown with less beading, lace and detail. If you really want more beads and sequins, they can always be added later by a seamstress, a friend or relative who sews.

  • Hire a seamstress to make your wedding dress as opposed to purchasing one.

  • Try renting your wedding gown.

  • Borrow your wedding gown from your mother, aunt, or anyone else who has a wedding dress.

  • For less formal weddings you can wear a bridesmaids gown.

  • Try and make your own veil. You can purchase how-to books and supplies from most craft stores. You can save hundreds of dollars by making your own.

  • Don’t dye the bridesmaid’s shoes. Instead, have them wear white or black shoes, depending on the shade of their dresses.

  • Forget about the purse, you don’t need it.

  • If you opt to go with a bridal salon, choose all your dresses from the same place. They might give you a discount, or at least free alterations.

  • Save money by not purchasing a going away outfit. You’re only going to wear your wedding gown once, so why not enjoy every single moment! Plus, the 20 minutes or more that it takes to change, will take you away from your reception and your guests.
