To make it fun, you can always get friends together who would love to go shopping for a wedding dress with you. This might also be a good chance to let friends who might be feeling left out (not getting bridesmaid title) to get involved in the wedding. To make everyone comfortable, cover all stores in a single day so it remains fun and doesn’t become more of a job.
How you can plan:
1. A few months (depending on the size of wedding) before the wedding, call/email your friends to be available at a particular date.
2. Next, it will be better to have a list of stores already that you would like to tour.
3. Locate stores who are known to offer best discounts and cater more styles at their stores.
4. Before you go research on internet your body type and the gown styles that will suit you the most.
5. Keep your mother in the loop. Make it possible for her to attend this very important shopping tour of your life.
Set a budget and Keep Alterations in mind

Listening to advice of wise brides, you wouldn’t want to add to your wedding budget in the last hour. A stress free execution is only possible if you keep things realistic. Whether you are shopping online or offline, pick a store that is more cooperative with sizes and which allows easy alterations. Designers are usually the best people who can alter a design. PS Don’t rely on your mom, if she has not designed it in the first place.
How you can set a Budget:
1. Be realistic about the prices of discounts and do your research for ”how much it will cost for the type of dress that you want”.
2. Check what you can afford. Don’t think that you will be eventually able to costs on other things and adjust it to the price of gown. The last minute change in decisions about budget will upset more than you think.
3. If you would like to use discounts, make sure to read reviews about the stores offering mega discounts. Other bride’s experiences are the best learning factor you can have.
4. Check with your parents if they are interested in financing your looks at the wedding. Last year an online survey reported that for 46% brides, their mothers were most involved with the wedding.
5. Finally you can have $1000 - $5000 or more for a dress but expense wouldn’t add to its special. Keep it low and make adjustments in style where needed.

Be Careful with Discounts

Just because, we feature lots of discounts on bride gowns from various stores, we wouldn’t recommend that you should dive in to them. TBH, not every store will give you 100% that you expect for your wedding. But you can always deal for it.
Go with stores which offer more discounts but also the liberty to return. Read their terms carefully so that you don’t get caught in fine prints.
How to be careful:
1. Ask store their returns policy if it is not available.
2. Select relatively old stores who have maintained reputation and would be careful about it.
3. Buy from stores located in US only otherwise returns may cost you heavy.
4. Buy all the bridesmaid and wedding dresses from the same store and you might be in a position to grab a deal for discounts.
Give Importance to Bridesmaids

Bridesmaid dresses are the most disputed issue during the wedding shopping. The more are your bridesmaid, the more unexpected differences in opinion may occur. A happy wedding would have everyone happy, so pay attention to other people’s preferences in the process and it will be paid back. The magazine designs would not always fit right with everyone’s budget. Find practical options online and introduce these to everyone.
How to make bridesmaid happy
1. Discuss with them any problems that they are having with their dress or dates or plans.
2. Involve them in your art work for wedding shoot and decorations and give importance to their ideas.
3. Let them have a little variation of design in the wedding gown and they won’t complain much.
4. Understand and respect their budget. Offer to help them with buying their dress.
5. Search the beauty care deals and check if you can get a care package for friends who are working hard to make your day special.
6. Assign everyone the jobs that they “WANT”.
Any wedding is not perfect, even the ones with lots of people handling the situations. But focusing on good things will definitely bring some positive vibes for bride, groom and everyone else. Like they said, marriage is Work in Progress and it starts from your wedding day.
