I am a little late to the game here with this suggestion but, if you can buy a dress off the rack (their sample model) they will often give you a discount. You would want to make sure you check it over well since it has been tried on before but that was how I got a good deal on my wedding gown (which was originally strapless and which I had a seamstress add straps to, ask the consultant if they think this would be possible if you find a strapless you like). Don’t forget to budget in alterations if you need them! I found these to be shockingly expensive. Weddings in general are a racket!

My eldest daughter got married in July of this year and her wedding dress budget dictated that she opt for the simplest, cheapest she could find. She bought something really plain and being the female McGyver that she is, she managed to turn the gown into something fabulous by adding some accents, a little light fabric here and there that she bought separately in a cheap store. You won’t believe it is the same inexpensive dress!

In reply to Sarah Greesonbach. Wow that's a pretty good price. I think I'll probably re-sell or alter in some way so I can wear it after.

In reply to Jon @ MoneySmartGuides. It is the most important dress you'll ever wear but one you'll only ever wear once so I can see why she went to the consignment store. I'm glad it worked out for her!

In reply to iou. I haven't considered renting. I just want one that is mine, nobody else has worn, etc. I am not a huge decorations person but we have a venue that is decoration in and of it self. So we are spending more on photographers, I guess.

In reply to Josh @ C.N.A. Finance. Man, $400 would be amazing! I don't think I could find a dress that is suitable for that price, haha.

In reply to Michelle. I love that one too. It's one of my favorites but is WELL over my price point, haha.

In reply to Anne @ Unique Gifter. The prices make my skin crawl! Hoping I can find one I love for cheap.
