    If you’re getting married, you’ve probably focused on your wedding dress initially. Once you’ve figured that out, though, your mind will shift to another clothing item: bridesmaid dresses (assuming you’re planning to have bridesmaids!). No matter how much they love you, they are going to cringe (or cry) when they spend $300 on a dress they only get to wear once.  The goal is to shop dresses that will make you and the people who have to buy them happy.

    So where do we find all of these beautiful and affordable dresses? Here are my favorite options for how to save on bridesmaid dresses.

    Frugal Wedding Planning | How to Save on Bridesmaid Dresses

    Consider your bridesmaids’ styles and budgets

    Most brides have 3-6 bridesmaids. Whether they are friends or sisters, they have different body types. You have to be considerate of this when picking the dress style. You will also want to consider that it is expensive to be a bridesmaid. They love you and want to support you, but they also like to eat. Ask them how much they are comfortable paying for a dress and try to stay below that.

    Select colors wisely

    You may have found the cutest blue ever on Pinterest. In reality, that shade of blue may become the biggest pain to find in the real world. You’ll save time and money by selecting more common colors. That blue may make a great accent on a few things, but life will be easier for everyone if you aren’t hunting down sapphire blue. Just go with navy.

    Another tip (if you have a larger wedding party) might be to pick a few different colors that are close to each other on the color wheel and let your bridesmaids pick from those colors for what would best look good next to their skin tone.  When you’re limited to just one color, it might look great on one girl but terrible on another! It’s also on-trend right now for bridesmaids to have slightly mismatched dresses.

    Decide on a fabric

    Bridesmaid dresses typically come in a limited number of fabrics, but some have a sheen and some are matte.  Decide which one you want and make absolutely sure that everyone picks the same kind of fabric, even if they’re buying dresses from different stores.  One girl wearing a shiny, reflective dress if all the others are matte could look really strange!

                When you are planning a wedding, one thing that cannot be overlooked is the wedding dress. This is usually near the top of the list of priorities for a bride. You’ll have hundreds of pictures taken of you in this dress, so you somehow want it to be perfect but ALSO affordable! Thankfully, there are ways to get the dress of your dreams and stay in budget. Here are my best options for how to save on wedding dresses.

                Frugal Wedding Planning | How to Save on Wedding Dresses

                Ask yourself what matters to you

                While many brides do consider the dress to be one of the biggest decisions in wedding planning, that may not be true for you. If you don’t have strong preferences, be honest with yourself and others about that.

                State your budget

                Before you ever look at a dress, set your budget. What is considered a reasonable amount for a dress will vary for everyone, so look at your wedding budget as a whole and then decide how much you can spend on your dress. You will also need to subtract the money needed for alterations if that is not a separate category in your wedding budget.

                Word of caution: As soon as you put on a dress that you absolutely love that is way over budget, you will either swipe that card or cry. Neither is a good solution, so avoid the problem beforehand by setting a limit. Tell your bridal attendant your budget and make sure she knows you are sticking to it.

                Try David’s Bridal

                David’s Bridal gets a bad rap. No, it isn’t a fancy boutique, but you’re going to be able to try on 50 dresses (or more) that are all less than $500. In most high-quality wedding boutiques, you might get to try on one dress that is less than $500. It’ll be on the clearance rack and 10 sizes too big. Before you shun David’s Bridal as the Walmart of wedding dresses, go in with an open mind and see what you find. They even carry some designer brands.

                Inside secret: All dresses at David’s Bridal will go on sale. Seriously. If you go in and find a dress you love but it’s full price, wait a week and it’ll be $50-$200 off. They’ll try to tell you to buy it that day, but just wait. It’ll still be there when the sale starts.
