In a word, setting a clear budget prevents you from being tempted by pricier options.
- Time It Right
The off-season for weddings (winter and early spring) means big discounts at bridal boutiques as they make room for new inventory. You can score designer dresses at a fraction of the original cost.
- Shop Online Sellers
Sites like ASOS, Etsy and BHLDN have endless light blue bridesmaid dress options at varied price points. Online shopping allows you to easily compare prices across multiple retailers.
- Hunt for Sample Sales
Bridal salons and designers frequently hold sample sales to clear out old merchandise. Be on the lookout for these events to snag runway-quality dresses at steeply discounted prices.
- Seek Out Pre-Loved Dresses
With sustainability trending, second-hand and gently worn dresses have become stylish options. Check sites for previous-season looks in great condition at rock-bottom costs.
- Consider Different Fabrics
While luxe materials like silk and lace are pricier, more budget-friendly textiles like polyester and chiffon can still look upscale. The fabric choice dramatically impacts the dress expense.
- Keep It Simple
Intricate designs with complex beading, layers and detailing drive up costs significantly. Sleek, streamlined styles in light blue shades look just as elegant for much less.
- Group Discounts
Many retailers offer bulk-order price breaks, so don't hesitate to inquire about group discounts when purchasing multiple dresses. A little negotiating can lead to major savings.
- Mix 'n' Match
These days, it's trendy for bridesmaids to wear different dress styles in the same colour palette. This mix-and-match approach lets each lady buy her favorite design at her desired price point.
- DIY Alterations
Instead of professional tailoring, see if anyone in your bridal party has sewing skills to do basic alterations in-house. Tiny tweaks to achieve perfect fits won't bankrupt you.
