Budget Bride Guide | Bridal Gown

Your wedding is a big deal. You want everything to be perfect…but you want to stay on budget. No worries, this tip will certainly help you save a lot during your planning process!

A wedding gown typically cost $1,000+, which doesn’t include any accessories, alterations, veils, or shoes. Yes, you can hit David’s Bridal’s $99 sale, but I’ve been there and honestly most of those gowns aren’t worth the trek. I’ve had friends that spent close to $3,000 on their dream dress at bridal shops, but you’re supposed to splurge on your wedding, right? Wrong.

Even if you’re ‘ballin on a budget’ you don’t have to sacrifice your wants. Every woman deserves a fabulous dress. Enter Rent the Runway.

If you’ve never heard of Rent the Runway they are a go-to source for renting designer dresses for events, for a fraction of the cost. The good news is that they now offer bridal rentals!

This means that you’re able to snag a bridal gown from high-end designers such as Monique Lhuillier, Badgley Mischka, Marchesa, Oscar de la Renta + more for budget-friendly rates. Because what do you do with that dress after the wedding anyway?
