Wedding dresses come in all shapes, sizes and styles. More importantly they come in all price ranges, which means that a bride with any kind of budget can buy the perfect dress. Wedding dress prices at the low-end are around 100 to 200 dollars. At the high-end they can reach tens of thousands of dollars. So do not be discouraged, you should be able to find the dress of your dreams no matter what budget.
Wedding dress prices have been gradually increasing over the years. On average, bridal retailers are adding a 300% markup on all of their dresses, sometimes even more. Brides are paying thousands of dollars for their dresses, because that's what they expect to pay for a good quality dress. Many brides only look for wedding dresses at bridal boutiques and do not consider the host of other options that are available to them.
For more affordable wedding dress prices, there are a number of places to look. There are discount bridal retail chains such as David's Bridal, with a huge selection of dresses up to 70% off retail prices. There are sample sales that bridal boutiques hold a couple of times a year to rid their stock of older inventory to make room for the new dresses of the season. There are consignment stores that have pre-owned dresses for fractions of the original cost. Last but not least, there are tons of online wedding stores that have replicated versions of famous designer wedding dresses for a lot less.
A new breed of wedding dress makers are starting to pop up in recent years. They are the big name retailers, known for selling women's fashion, but entering the bridal game with wedding dress collections of their own. From J. Crew to Ann Taylor, these retailers are creating sleek and sophisticated dresses for the elegant, but somewhat casual bride. It's a desired look for a lot of modern day brides and being that it's mass produced, really drives down the wedding dress prices. If you are looking for the perfect dress to wear for a simple and intimate wedding, be sure to check out these retailers' wedding line.
A lot of what makes the expensive wedding gowns cost so much is the notoriety of the designer, the quality of fabrics used, the intricacy of the details and the amount of time it took to make. For this reason, brides feel extra special wearing one of these high-end designer gowns. They put it on and it just makes them feel so luxurious. However with some careful planning, a reasonable amount of research and a lot of time spent searching, any bride can find a dress that makes her look like a million bucks. By being more open minded and willing to try some of the other options, you might just end up with a really undesirable find. So remember to keep your eyes open, you never know when the perfect dress will find you.
