Wedding Dress Budgeting

In a high-quality gown, every detail is finished properly. You'll never see unraveling embroidery or loose beading. Natural fabrics like silk are pricier than synthetics, but they let your skin breathe and don't lock in sweat. A lined gown costs more but falls smoothly and hides panty lines. If you have budget constraints, choose a fine fabric and a good fit, and forgo fancy details like appliques and embroidery; instead dress up the gown with your jewelry or 'something borrowed'.

Quick Tip: Better quality gowns have more to them such as built-in crinolines, bustiers and boning. This will spare you the expense of buying these items separately. << Return to Wedding Hints & Tips
