Many women dream of what they want to look like on their big day, an image that they’ve had since they were very young. Everyone wants to have their princess moment on their wedding day, however, the hunt for “the one” is not without its pitfalls. For starters, looking for a wedding dress in a traditional bridal salon can be extremely time consuming; add this to the pressure many prospective brides feel about buying a dress that they have to wait months and months to receive and try on (most dresses need alterations before they are wedding day ready and you don’t always know how they will turn out). The fact is, if you’re a bride in a bit of a hurry or maybe one that wants something that little bit out of the norm, going to your run-of-the-mill bridal salon is just not going to cut it. Here are a few ways to find your perfect wedding dress without setting foot in a traditional shop. Who knows, you might even save some money too!
1. Go Vintage
Many women have taken to re-wearing or reworking their mother’s old wedding dresses into something new. If you’re just re-wearing it then you probably just have to have it refitted by a talented dressmaker. However, reworking and recutting a dress will obviously take more time and energy. The plus side to this option is it will cost you a lot less than a brand spanking new dress and infuse tradition into your wedding day.
2. Buy Your Wedding Dress Online
There’s a lot to be said for online shopping: for one, you can do it from the comfort of your own home. Couple that with the fact that many sites offer massive discounts come sale time and you’re in for a winning formula. Buying your dress online is time-saving and takes away from the anxiety and pressure of having to visit multiple shops. It can be hard to say no to a dress if the people around you are pushing you to buy it. The best part? If you don’t like it, you can easily send it back, fuss free!
3. Use an Online Service to Help Match you With the Right Wedding Dress

4. Buy a Second Hand Wedding Dress
