Savings Options, Online Shopping

A wed­ding is a very expen­sive event, prepa­ra­tion for which must be car­ried out in advance. Any chance to save and reduce costs is cer­tain­ly con­sid­ered by the new­ly­weds, but of course with­in rea­son.

Wed­ding bus­tle often begins with the choice of an out­fit for the bride, since this stage is the most dif­fi­cult and requires a lot of time. For­tu­nate­ly, wed­ding salons are not uncom­mon in our time, and it is with their help that you can decide on the choice of the dress in which the bride will spend her wed­ding day.

First of all, every­one goes to the near­est bridal salon, which beck­ons with man­nequins in impec­ca­ble out­fits. At the same time, few peo­ple know that all wed­ding salons are divid­ed into sev­er­al types:

• elite;
• ordi­nary;
• eco­nom­i­cal.

The econ­o­my class salon, although it does not shine with its name, actu­al­ly dif­fers lit­tle from the wed­ding salons of a high­er rank. Even the buy­ing process is com­plete­ly sim­i­lar to how the choice and pur­chase of a dress in an elite salon will take place.

You will be treat­ed with due respect, giv­en as much time as required. They will advise more suc­cess­ful mod­els for your fig­ure, as well as help with the selec­tion of those acces­sories that will cre­ate a sin­gle har­mo­ny with the image you have cho­sen.

The only thing that real­ly dis­tin­guish­es an econ­o­my salon from an elite one is inex­pen­sive mod­els of dress­es, which are large­ly infe­ri­or in qual­i­ty to design­er ones. In inex­pen­sive bridal salons, Chi­nese copies of dress­es from famous design­ers are for sale.

You should not hang a tag of uno­rig­i­nal­i­ty and bad taste on a cheap wed­ding dress. A low price may indi­cate the lit­tle-known brand under which it is pro­duced, the author­ship of a novice design­er, or the use of inex­pen­sive fab­rics and mate­ri­als.

There is always a chance to choose a bud­get dress in a spe­cial­ized salon or online store. If you choose the right sil­hou­ette and take into account the fea­tures of the fig­ure, then even an inex­pen­sive dress can look bet­ter than a super-fash­ion­able cre­ation from a fash­ion­able cou­turi­er.

A stun­ning look is actu­al­ly easy to cre­ate: a lit­tle fly­ing fab­ric, a fit­ted style (if it match­es the fig­ure) and a hair­style.

Since a wed­ding dress is bought only once, it makes sense to buy it in a used ver­sion. Acces­sories are often sold along with the dress.

There are a lot of pos­si­bil­i­ties for choos­ing a dress in this ver­sion:

• adver­tise­ments on tele­vi­sion chan­nels (most­ly appro­pri­ate for provin­cial cities);
• adver­tise­ments in print media;
• com­mis­sion shops;
• forums and spe­cial­ized sites;
• online auc­tions.

If you seri­ous­ly look for a used dress, then it is quite pos­si­ble to find the mod­el you are inter­est­ed in with­out pay­ing a lot of mon­ey.

Online sales are more active than in con­ven­tion­al stores. This applies to any prod­uct, includ­ing wed­ding dress­es. In online stores you can find the same mod­els as in con­ven­tion­al salons, only at a much low­er cost. And if you also hit the sale, then your chances of sav­ing increase sig­nif­i­cant­ly.

Alter­na­tive­ly, you can look at for­eign online stores. It often hap­pens that prices in them are cheap­er than in Russ­ian ones. Deliv­ery is unlike­ly to be a prob­lem: most online stores ship world­wide. In extreme cas­es, you can order the ser­vices of an inter­me­di­ary who will send the dress in a way con­ve­nient for you.

The only dis­ad­van­tage of buy­ing a wed­ding dress may be the lack of the pos­si­bil­i­ty of try­ing it on. But if you take good mea­sure­ments and care­ful­ly place an order for a dress, then you will get exact­ly the dress that fits your fig­ure. In addi­tion, in online stores there is always the pos­si­bil­i­ty of return­ing a dress, since such a con­di­tion is reg­u­lat­ed by the law “On the Pro­tec­tion of Con­sumer Rights”. There­fore, it is bet­ter to order a dress long before the wed­ding in order to be able to re-order.

The desire to be the most beau­ti­ful, charm­ing and unique at her wed­ding is typ­i­cal for every bride. But the bud­get does not always allow you to roam to the fullest and shine in a dress from the new col­lec­tion of one of the famous brands.

You, as a bride, are wait­ing for view­ing a large num­ber of options, dif­fi­cult choic­es, strug­gle with doubts. But all this los­es its mean­ing when the cher­ished box with the same dress is in the hands. And it doesn’t mat­ter how much it cost you, or maybe even was rent­ed.

The lat­ter option can only be con­sid­ered if the bride is not par­tic­u­lar­ly con­cerned about the fact that the dress has already been worn.

Rent­ing a wed­ding dress is not infe­ri­or in its pop­u­lar­i­ty to the sale of wed­ding dress­es and indi­vid­ual tai­lor­ing. The unde­ni­able and most sig­nif­i­cant advan­tage of rent­ing a dress is that you can choose the most expen­sive dress by pay­ing a small amount for it. And is it worth it to buy a dress for one day, so that lat­er it gath­ers dust in the clos­et?

Sewing a wed­ding dress with your own hands requires much less mon­ey than buy­ing the same mod­el in a salon, because in addi­tion to the cost of fab­ric, the price will include the work of the mas­ter, brand fees, adver­tis­ing, tax­es, rent of the salon and salaries of its employ­ees.

If you have no expe­ri­ence in sewing dress­es, we rec­om­mend that you pur­chase a bud­get ver­sion of a wed­ding dress in a store. So you get a 100% result and save your nerves, because tai­lor­ing requires a lot of time, effort and patience.

A wed­ding dress can be ordered from a seam­stress. True, in this case, one can hard­ly talk about big sav­ings, because the price will include all of the above, plus the time spent on fit­ting the dress accord­ing to the fig­ure, which is usu­al­ly high­er than in the store, since you will need to come to the fit­ting sev­er­al times.

Do not believe those who say that tai­lor­ing from a seam­stress will be cheap­er than buy­ing a dress in a store. Mass pro­duc­tion is always cheap­er. The excep­tion is brand­ed elite wed­ding dress­es. But there are few crafts­men who can sew this under nor­mal con­di­tions.

To save mon­ey, you can refuse expen­sive fab­rics and acces­sories. Even a lacon­ic out­fit with the right approach can be beau­ti­ful.

Of the inex­pen­sive fab­rics that are used in the for­ma­tion of a wed­ding dress, we can dis­tin­guish:

• weight­less chif­fon,
• chic guipure,
• chic taffe­ta,
• fly­ing tulle.

A long train is also use­less in an econ­o­my ver­sion, but a straight cut with a floor-length skirt is a suit­able option.

A sum­mer wed­ding is a great occa­sion for a short sum­mer dress, which is usu­al­ly a lit­tle cheap­er than a long one.

Wed­ding fash­ion has changed a lot, becom­ing more loy­al and not so pre­ten­tious. Sim­ple mod­els and not nec­es­sar­i­ly in white are becom­ing more and more pop­u­lar. This allows you to choose the so-called evening wed­ding dress for the wed­ding. This option is suit­able for ratio­nal brides who wish to pur­chase not just a wed­ding dress, but also an evening dress.

The most prac­ti­cal and ratio­nal brides pre­fer light trouser suits, which can also be used as a wed­ding dress.

The sim­plic­i­ty of the dress is eas­i­ly cor­rect­ed by ele­gant and frilly shoes, which will bring the nec­es­sary share of fem­i­nin­i­ty and sex­u­al­i­ty to the image.
