  • Shop sales. Once you know your Wedding Date, you’ll be able to plan the timeframe for finding the perfect dress. If your Wedding date isn’t set for the next 6 months, you’ll have a good window of time to wait for a great sale at a local boutique.
  • Shop samples. Many shops and designers offer sample sales – dresses that were used for display or sample purposes that have been significantly discounted – but still simply gorgeous!
  • Pick out a few different options. Even if you think you’ve found “the dress”, make sure to check the price tag, and see if it is realistically in your budget. Even if it is, make sure to see what other shops have to offer – you never know what you’ll find!
  • Attend a Bridal Expo - many vendors at Expos offer discounts, and even do raffles & giveaways with Wedding Gowns! These events are often low cost or free, so make sure to attend some before tying the knot.
