Your wedding day should be the most wonderful day of your life. You’ve probably been dreaming of your wedding day since the very first moment you could string the words “wedding” and “prince” together. You’ve dreamt of the venue, the cake, the decorations, the horse drawn carriage, the charming and handsome groom-and, most importantly, the wedding dress!
Every woman dreams of the perfect wedding dress. Unfortunately, weddings are expensive, and with economic troubles all over the country, fewer women feel they are able to afford the expensive designer wedding dress they believe they need. Never fear, stylish yet cheap wedding clothes are available-you just need to know where to look.
Here are a few ideas of where to look for stylish and cheap wedding dresses.
Craigslist
Just hearing the word may have you cringing in fear. Sure, there are cons to buying and selling on Craigslist, but one of the pros is that a lot of women all over the country are getting married or divorced, and want to make some fast cash by selling their gently-used wedding dresses. As beautiful as wedding dresses are, most are only worn once. This is a travesty! Why let it rot in a closet, when a wedding dress can be sold and reused as the dream wedding apparel for another lovely bride?
One caveat to buying cheap wedding dresses from Craigslist… make sure to check out the dress before actually paying money for it. This means that you should only purchase locally so that you can physically inspect the dress before handing over the money. You don’t want to be out a wad of cash, and still not have a dress.
eBay.com
Yes, you can buy everything worth selling on eBay.com, which means that you can find both used and new wedding dresses. With the HUGE selection, you can find just the right dress, which means it fits your dream, your budget, and your time table. Make sure that you are wise with your bid. Find the dress you want, do some research, and make sure that you aren’t bidding too much.
Consignment Shops
The internet isn’t the only place where you can find cheap wedding apparel. Consignment shops are popping up all over the place because lots of people are liquidating their wardrobes to make some extra spending cash (or they just bought a whole new wardrobe and need the space in their closets). Consignment shops are great places to get cheap wedding dresses because you can inspect the dress, try it on, ensure that it’s clean, and negotiate the price.
Remember, your wedding day should be a dream not an expensive nightmare. Finding cheap wedding clothes is just one way to make your day special and the experience memorable. Finding a stylish dress within your budget that makes you feel beautiful can happen… it just takes a bit of ingenuity!
