Best Discount Stores for Wedding Dresses and Bridesmaid Dresses

Mostly everyone in America will get married at some point in his or her lives. Many of us will have more than one wedding, and according to CNN.com, the average is going up. They estimate that average wedding costs have reached close to $30,000. A wedding only lasts one day, but apparently some Americans are willing to spend enough money to buy a car for such a day. Yet, there are still some Americans who realize that they can still have a beautiful wedding without spending $30,000. This is a guide to help those looking to save some money and buy beautiful dresses at inexpensive prices.

Lily Wedding also has services such as tailoring and custom-made plus size dresses for no additional charge. All you have to do is send in your measurements and they will fit the dress to your body size. The website is LilyWedding.com and they offer free UPS shipping on orders over $500.

Jessica McClintock
Jessica McClintock is known for their prom dresses, but they also offer wedding gowns. The sale section of the Jessica McClintock website has some great finds. One advantage to shopping with Jessica McClintock is the fact that you can visit the online store, outlet store, or a department store that carries their gowns. You can also trust Jessica McClintock because instead of some of those scammers out there, they have made a name for themselves in producing quality dresses.

Target
I'm sure some of you out there were watching the exact same Oprah show as me when she spoke about Target.com now offering inexpensive wedding dresses. The dresses range from $9.99-$159.99. They can be dressed up a little by adding a silk sash. The dresses are only available at Target.com and tailoring is not available. Although, while there is no tailoring, there are many sizes available on the Target website.

EBay
I know most people don't want a second-hand dress, but second-hand dresses are not all that's offered on EBay. There are some brand new dresses for sale on EBay also. The great thing about EBay is the willingness of people to work with you and the infinite number of colors, shapes, sizes, and most importantly, prices.

Weddings are beautiful celebrations of the marital union of two people, but they shouldn't bankrupt you! You can still have a picturesque wedding without spending $30,000. There are many inexpensive alternatives out there. You just have to keep an open mind and be willing to do some searching. If you play your cards right and spend money in all the right places, maybe you can upgrade on that honeymoon you'll be taking.
