that will not budget your look
Found the perfect wedding dress, but cannot find the space in your wallet to buy it? Consider purchasing it used! Brides everywhere are reselling their own wedding dresses for a fraction of the original price. Most dresses posted show barely any wear and look good as new! Websites such as Preownedweddingdresses.com make this process easy, featuring over 20,000 gowns from countless designers, including Vera Wang, in all shapes and sizes, as well as providing viewers an easy means of contacting the seller once they have found your dream dress. Below are a few of their featured dresses:
Recycling old wedding dresses not only saves you money, but also helps the environment as well. Most wedding dresses are worn by the bride for a few hours, sealed in a box, and stored for decades – deprived of ever seeing daylight again. For those who have already worn their dresses, bridesmaids included, why not consider reselling your old dress to make a few extra bucks? Preownedweddingdresses.com also makes it easy for anyone to sell their dress with the low listing price of $25.

For local San Diego residents,
One local company that can help you resell wedding dresses is Dahlia Bridal. Opened in September 2012, Dahlia Bridal has recycled numerous wedding dresses. Unlike websites that provide similar services, this local shop in Point Loma allows aspiring brides to not only see the condition of the used dresses, but also try them on before purchasing as well.
Dahlia Bridal also posts their current wedding dress stock on their Facebook page (www.facebook.com/DahliaBridalSD). To purchase a dress, a bride must simply contact Dahlia Bridal to make an appointment. Each appointment is completely private, as they only take one bride at a time! With an average of 150 dresses in the store, Dahlia Bridal offers numerous styles and sizes for all tastes.
