Another great website for wedding dresses at great prices is www.oncewed.com. Although the wedding gowns are used, they are very affordable so that you have enough room in your budget for alterations, dry cleaning and accessories. Because they have been used only once before, you are very likely to find your wedding gown in great shape for a fraction of the price!
However, if you prefer to use a brand new wedding gown, you can check out sample sales in which stores try to get rid of their inventory by marking down their wedding gowns by as much as 75% in some cases! You can find these sample sales around where you live, but there are also some online stores such as http://www.hitchedsalon.com, where you can sign up for their mailing list and find out every time they have a new dress in their inventory. You will have a better chance of finding a wedding gown if you are a size 10 (usually 6-8 in regular sizes), but they do have other sizes and offer you specialized service, since you can email or call them to let them know exactly what you are looking for!
