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 most brides. You will have hundreds of pictures taken of you in this dress so you 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 of those wedding boutiques, you’ll 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.

It’s springtime and I’d decorate every corner of the house with beautiful fresh flowers if I could.
I walked by the flower department at the grocery store last week, and realized that you could really spend a fortune on fresh flowers if you aren’t careful. With Mother’s Day and Wedding Season quickly approaching, there are lots of reasons to look at cutting costs on flowers.
So, let’s talk about how we can save on flower arrangements!
The Nester over at Nesting Place did an entire series about using plants around the house and this picture really hit home for me. Both the rooms above are beautiful, but the one on the left just feels a little stiff, and right one feels so much happier! What a difference a little fresh greenery makes.
The only reason my house isn’t filled with blooms is that live plants can be expensive and they just don’t last long! Y’all know I always have a few frugal tips to share, so here are a few to save money on fresh flowers.
How to Save on Fresh Flowers
1. Make your own floral arrangements.
If you’re on Pinterest you might have seen some ideas where you can either use floral tape or Scotch tape to make a grid to hold your flowers in just about any container. Martha Stewart says to put 1-2 flowers in each square and fill in with the greenery pieces at the end.
I took my girls outside and we walked around our property looking for anything blooming. If you are pressed for time or don’t have a green thumb, picking up a simple bouquet from the grocery store for $5-$10 will also work. You’re still saving a ton of money by not going to a florist for a simple arrangement.
Another great DIY option that will work for your house, your wedding, or even a tea party:
