From the time that a girl is young, she has dreams of a fairytale wedding, and of course, a princess wedding gown to match-budget wedding gowns do not even come into the fantasy. However, as you grow up, you realize that a princess gown comes with a princely price. Is it worth it?

In a word, no! When you pay several thousand dollars for a dress, you are often paying more for the label than for the quality of the craftsmanship. The majority of dresses-whether they are knockoffs or couture-are produced with the same fabrics, by the same people in the same countries.

However, if you do want a name-brand wedding gown, consider buying online! Many discount wedding websites can save you up to 20% or more on wedding dresses. They are the same dresses you get from a local bridal shop-the only difference is that you are not paying a marked-up price for them to give you champagne as you browse or have staff helping you around the store. These sites are usually backed by PayPal's guarantee. Make sure you're looking at a site that offers a money-back guarantee.

Another option, if you are not set on a style, is to check out the clearance racks at your local bridal store. While their full-priced gowns are considerably more expensive than buying online, if you check out clear dresses, you can find a beautiful dress at a low price.

A slightly more controversial method of buying a wedding dress is buying from an eBay dress maker. Most of these sellers live in China and have a wide variety of dresses listed for under $ 300. Additionally, many have their own websites where you can order a custom-made dress with your own personal touch. Some question the quality of the work coming from eBay dressmakers, so again, it's important to buy from a seller with a money-back guarantee.

With all these money-saving tips, it's almost impossible to pay full price for the dress of your dreams. You can have your big day without a matching big price tag.
