Know Before You Go Dress Shopping

Advice from a recent bride

"How I found my perfect dress?

I first went to David's Bridal to try on different styles until I found the one right for my body. Not wanting to break the bank, I shopped at non-conventional stores such as "off the rack". I was able to find a designer gown at an affordable price."

Thanks,

Jenny

Wedding Dress Shopping Tips

Like many of the various things that you have to check off your wedding to-do list, dress shopping should be something you’re prepared for. After your online inspiration search is complete.

According to the 2016 Brides American Wedding Study, the average cost of a wedding dress is $1,517.

Use these tips to help you stay on board and save while shopping for that perfect wedding dress. Remember, before booking an appointment, check the salon's Website or call to find out:

1. The range of prices

If the majority of the dresses aren't in your budget, save yourself the heartache and go elsewhere.

2. What sizes the samples are

Most salons have a bridal 10 or 12, which is equivalent to a 6 or 8. If you need a bigger size, ask if it can be called in ahead of time.

3. If a particular dress you're looking for is at the store If not, see if it can be requested... then schedule a day and time to go in and get fitted.
