      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 (if you’re having bridesmaids!). No matter how much they love you, they are going to cringe (or cry) when they spend $300 on a dress they’ll wear once.  The goal is to get 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.

      Let them pick

      Sometimes the best decision is to decide to not decide. Give your bridesmaids directions on the style and color and them let them find a dress they like within the parameters you set. You can even have them send you pictures of the dress before they purchase it so you can okay their choice. This way they get a dress they can at least tolerate but it still suits your tastes.

      Rent dresses

      If they are only going to wear it once, why own it forever? There are some great sites where bridesmaids can rent dresses. You will want to check and make sure you are able to get all sizes needed before selecting this option. Rent the Runway could be a good option for renting dresses.

                  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.
