say yes to the dress

It’s the look when you know you found the right one! Pure joy on the big day when I put it on 🙂

Never in a million years did I think my Pinterest inspired mood board of white dresses would 1.have a dress that I could afford and 2. that I would love it on me! See below the mood board I took shopping, my dress the Ugo by Rosa Clara featured bottom right. I went to 3 bridal salons but in the end got lucky and found my dress never worn through preownedweddings.com. The bride had bought 2 and didn’t end up wearing the one I bought, score! With wedding planning every little savings helps and therefore a discounted price tag was a big bonus for me.

Here are some other ways to save on dresses:

Check for trunk shows. If you know you like a certain designer or store style ask about their trunk show calendar, typically during trunk shows there are discounts offered.

Ask if floor models are available at a discounted rate.

Check other resale sites nearlynewlywed.com, Poshmark, or tradesy.com.
