Are you under the same spell as many other brides to be in the world? The spell which has you believing that you MUST invest over $5,000 on some top quality, designer gown for your wedding. Well, if you are, then it is time to break that spell and let you in on a little, yet tremendously powerful secret -- second hand wedding dresses look just as amazing and elegant as BRAND NEW ones!
How To Get A Great Second Hand Wedding Dress...
1. Talk to the Family. There is at least a 50% possibility that a person in your family -- mom, grandmother, great aunt, mother-in-law, cousin, etc. -- has a wedding dress she's held onto for all these years. Talk with her and see how open she is to allowing you to wear it on your big day. Some women are overly attached to their attire and you'll be hard-pressed to persuade them to "loan" it to you. However, there are others that will hand it over just for the asking.
2: Rent. A rented dress is generally an used dress; consequently, it qualifies as a second hand wedding dress. With that said, if you're truly dead set on wearing a brand new, modern-style wedding dress, there is not any better option than to rent. Get it, wear it, send it back, done.
3: Second Hand Stores. Isn't this obvious? Take a look at a few in your local area and find out if there are any second hand bridal dresses available. If there are, have a detailed look at each of them and determine if any are suited to your style.
4: Costume & Theatre Departments. Check out costume shops and even drama departments of high-schools and colleges. These places usually have an arsenal of clothes and you may just be able to snatch a great second hand wedding dress FOR LESS THAN $300!
Vital Tip: You don't have to find the perfect secondhand wedding dress. Honestly, you can accept "good", "alright", as well as "mediocre". How come? Due to the fact that you can pay a seamstress to make all the modifications you need to the gown; size, coloring, design, length, etc. You can actually pay a few hundred dollars for the dress, then a few hundred more for "drastic" adjustments, and you'll have a dress that looks like it cost $5000, when in reality it only cost approximately $600-$800.
