Bride’s Dress

For many Puget Sound Brides budget is a serious consideration especially during these tough economic times. All of sudden the perfect wedding dress has additional meaning and requires a balancing act to include cost. The best thing you can do if you are working with a tight budget is to start the planning process as early as possible to make sure that you have time to shop and compare. This is not always easy or possible and you may find that you will have a hard time finding the perfect dress that comes along with the right price tag as well.

If you start shopping early enough you may actually be able to take advantage of season clearances, and inventory reductions. Remember that you are not the only one struggling with the tough economic times, and may actually be in position to negotiate a better price on the dress you want. You may have to do a lot of research, but you will eventually get there. Be sure to cover all the possibilities including shopping the outlet stores, online (eBay, Craig’s List, etc.); you can find many great dresses at discounted prices. The best part about the outlet stores, and online is that you can get designer dresses that have brand names attached to them for great prices that you can afford.

One option that is not open to every bride is the possibility to wear mother’s or even grandmother’s wedding dress. Very likely alteration will be required but think of the family history involved not to mention the savings.
