The next thing that should come to mind will be how you look on your chosen style of gown. Don’t forget to put your wedding gown needs first plus think of a design that will fit your wedding theme. In case you are still confused because of the numerous styles that you saw on the magazines or on the runway, it is still advised that you stick to the simple yet sophisticated classic wedding gown design. The classic traditional wedding dress will never go out of fashion.

Consignment/Vintage Clothing Stores or Ebay:

Many consignment and vintage clothing stores offer beautiful, slightly-worn wedding gowns at unbeatable prices. While the selections may be limited, the prices are well below original price tags. Call around to up-scale consignment stores in your area to find out if they have a wedding dress or formal dress section. You may find some wedding gowns that were never even worn! If you are looking for an antique wedding dress, consider the vintage clothing stores in your area. You might find a wedding dress that needs only slight restoration to be worn on your wedding day. Appointments are probably not necessary but calling ahead for selection inquires may save you some time.

Department Stores:

Many department stores have a formal and/or bridal dress section of the store. Their inventory may not be as extensive as a specialty shop, but you should be able to find a range of styles from traditional ball wedding gowns to simple silk and beaded sheaths. Best of all, department stores are known for their sales. Call ahead to the department store’s bridal department to inquire about upcoming sales. Just remember if you do plan to purchase your wedding gown at a sale, you won’t be alone! If it is a well advertised sale you can have lots of competition, but the savings could be worth it. If you are interested in a particular designer, call ahead to determine if the department store represents that line. Many department stores such as Nieman Marcus have exclusive relationships with certain vendors. Most bridal departments require appointments to try on wedding gowns, consider making a day of it by planning to complete a bridal registry at that particular department store to save yourself another trip later.
