About the business...
Here Comes The Bride On A Budget is a small business established in 2023 and located in Southeastern Idaho. I specialize in selling pre-owned wedding dresses while catering to the bride on a budget. Most inventory is sold online through the website or Facebook small business page, but if you are in the area you are welcome to reach out and set up an appointment to try on dresses in person. My goal is to help fellow brides on a budget to be able to afford their dream wedding dress without breaking the bank! Making a big profit is not my main priority, so I am happy to try to work within your budget when at all possible. Please keep in mind that both time and money go into cleaning and repairing dresses to make sure they look their best. All available dresses are priced well below retail price and when at all possible priced lower than other pre-owned wedding dress platforms. Some dresses are new with tags and some have been worn by other brides, but I will always be up front about any noticeable flaws or issues with any dress that I sell. If you don't see what you are looking for please do not hesitate to reach out and I will do my best to help you, even if it means referring you to another seller to get the dress you dream of for your wedding day!
Tips for online wedding dress shopping:
-
Take your measurements or have them taken by a professional seamstress. Wedding dress sizes are NOT the same as "street" sizes. Sizes can also vary by designer. *See below for a generic bridal sizing chart. How to Measure
-
It is much easier to have a dress altered smaller. Most dresses can be altered one or two sizes without compromising the structure of the dress. Consult with an alteration specialist for pricing before you purchase the dress. I am happy to send additional pictures and videos or even facetime with your alterations specialist so they can better see the structure of the dress to give more accurate price quotes for alterations.
-
Try on wedding dresses from a variety of places if possible to see what style you love! Sometimes what we think we want ends up not being the style or look we feel the most beautiful in!
-
Contact the seller before purchase and ASK QUESTIONS- Does the dress have any flaws or damage? Has it been altered? What are the exact measurements? Is the price negotiable? Has the dress been cleaned? **If the only pictures of the dress are stock photos ask to see original pictures of the dress to ensure you are getting what you think you are getting!
