There are a lot of expenses involved in planning your wedding day, but a fabulous dress doesn’t have to be one of them. The average wedding expenses include photographers, florists, caterers and reception, and of course, the rings. It’s hard to cut corners on those items, but you can find a way to save money on one of the biggest expenses of your big day: the dress.

Even if you have always dreamed of a regal dress to match the royal weddings, or envisioned yourself in designer silk and satin and you can afford a big name designer dress it may not make sense to spend that much money. In that case you have two choices. You can choose to buy a much cheaper dress than you will very likely only wear once, or you can look for preloved wedding dress that match your heart’s desire on your special day.

Reasons to Choose Preloved Wedding Dresses

• Designer gowns can cost as much as the entire wedding. These are big expenses in an already tight budget you may have. Instead of spending all of that money on a single use dress you can spend it on other areas of the wedding, have a nicer honeymoon or even a down payment on a house. If you consider the average designer gown comes in at around $10,000, you will be glad to know that you will be saving a lot by looking for a second hand designer wedding dress.
• If you love vintage dresses you will probably find a great deal on a lovely old dress you would never find in a modern bridal shop.
• “Used does not mean abused!” – since a bridal gown is rarely worn more than once it isn’t likely to look used at all. Even though preloved wedding dresses have only been worn once before you can often get them for less than half of what they would cost brand new. Some preloved wedding dresses can even be found for as much as 90% less than their retail prices.
• The best reason to look for preowned wedding dresses instead of buying a new gown is not even money. It is more environmentally friendly to make use of a used dress than to buy one brand new. By recirculating that beautiful wedding dress, you’ll be doing a good deed. It may help a new bride have the dress she always dreamed of and prevents a beautiful dress from sitting on a shelf gathering dust.
