Try on a dress you can ’ t afford
Forget about accessories and alterations

DON ’ T

Try on a dress you can ’ t afford

It is worth repeating . Do not try on a dress that is outside of your budget , even if it is just to get a feel for a style or size . A $ 2,000 dress will never be able to compete with a $ 7,000 dress . Don ’ t set yourself up for failure . Stick to your price range . Pro Tip : If you are working with a low budget , go for a more simple gown and glam it up with a quality beaded sash or accessory .

DON ’ T

Forget about accessories and alterations

Invest some time in choosing just the right accessories to complement your ensemble and of course , don ’ t forget to budget for them . Some brides put so much time and energy finding just the right dress and the rest of the details are just an afterthought . You may want a veil , flower crown or hair piece , jewelry , and a pretty sash or belt . Don ’ t forget about your shoes ! You will definitely need cute and comfy shoes !
Your best experience will happen at the best bridal shop . Ask for suggestion to find a shop that offers a great selection in your price range , and helpful bridal consultants .
