What is to cheap for a wedding dress?

BJP2010 · January 2010

Is it possible to find a wedding dress that is $500 or less?

Definately - you'll just have to search

As long as you're open to the idea, you can always check out sample sales to buy a sample dress, though it may need cleaning or minor repairs.

Same goes for looking on eBay.

Good luck!

Yes, I went to a sample sale yesterday and found a wonderful dress that was originally $600 on sale for $175. If I was 2 inches smaller, I would have purchased it. Keep looking.

I got my $1,100 dress for $599 on sale!

Don't be afraid to ask the store to negotiate & don't let them bring you things to try on that are out of your price range.

Also, don't feel obligated to buy a veil, tiara or shoes there. The mark up in the stores on that stuff is HUGE! You can find veil & rhinestone hairpieces at places like Hobby Lobby, Joanne's, & other stores much cheaper. Great deals are available on shoes online.

Good luck!

I got my $2000 dress for $450 because it was discontinued and then on sale on top of that!

I bought mine for 278.00, It is from a destination line. If you have any fave designers, check their website for their destination, or informal lines.

J. Crew has some lovely dresses for $500 or less. You can also look on oncewed.com for some great deals.

Also, think outside the box. My wedding dress is a BCBG dress that retails for $300 that I got for half that on ebay. Nordstrom.com has a lot of alternative wedding dress options.

Remember you can also look at white/ivory bridesmaid dresses, if you want simple. J Crew has really pretty ones.

Great deals are out there! I found the dress I picked out at Alfred Angelo on ebay for $122 brand new with tags. I got really lucky, but there are definitely options.

I got a Mori Lee dress for 561 brand new at Pearl's Place online, in the bridal salons it went for at least 700-800!

You should also try higher end consignment shops - if you can find them in your area -a friend of mine got hers for $200 - and its STUNNING! And retailed for over thousands.

Definitely. I just bought my dress yesterday for $354 including the tax. It was originally $393 and I got 15% off because I was able to buy it off of the shelf, as it was nearly a perfect fit! I didnt even look at prices as I was trying them on because I didnt want the prices to stear me one way or another and when I found out the one I loved was this cheap I was sooo happy. My budget was to be $1000 or under so I came in way under budget

My Cousin got her dress here and it was AMAZING. The price was under $500. We all loved it and we will be ordering our bridesmaid dresses from the same site because the customer service was great too.

Good luck!
