I can't see myself paying for a dress ill have on for one day maybe 6hours. But might have to bite the bullet 🤔 😞. Any suggestions.

    I am WITH you! I ended up ordering from LightInTheBox and am waiting on my delivery. They have a return policy which allows to send it back if the dress is not ideal. So, I remain hopeful!

    GOOD LUCK!!

    I actually just bought a dress from a store that sells out of season wedding dresses for 799 sometimes 599 during sales! I would recommend looking for a store in your area or nearby that might have that option🤍 Wedding dress budget 1

    If you don’t mind thrift stores, I suggest checking them out. I was able to save tons of money on my dress from getting it there. Only $12.99 at my local thrift shop and it looks beautiful Wedding dress budget 2

    David's Bridal has some great options for under $500. They also have a clearance section that you might find something in. There is an app called stillwhite, on there people are selling their bridal gowns for cheap. If you feel comfortable with ordering something you have not tried on that might be an option. Good luck

    I feel the same! I found a dress style I like and I ordered from Amazon. Just get your measurements and order you one. The dress I wanted was $1,200 I found one very very similar on Amazon for $150.

    My friend tried dresses on to see what she liked and then bought a dress on Etsy. You could also look for resale/second hand wedding dress boutiques.

    I have a budget of $800, and am using AveryAustin and Davids Bridal. Ive been able to find tons of styles in my budget! Start at AveryAustin for the at home try on to really get a feel for size and style. Its $15 a dress to try on for a max of 3 per box they send. I made a girls afternoon of it and found my dream dress. After that they put the money you pay for the try ons towards your final purchase! Highly recommended.
