Frugal is chic now and brides are reaping the benefits. Many of them have decided to stretch their wedding budgets by keeping the cost of the wedding gown in check. One way to do that and still get a beautiful gown is to buy a preowned one. Some of the gowns I see listed at The Green Hanger Shop are half their retail price, so brides are actually getting twice the dress for the money. Oh, and it helps make a wedding green, too!
Check this out!
A very popular David's Bridal gown with a five heart rating, this dress retails in the $500 range. Seller is asking $275!
I have seen this listed as retailing for over $1500. |
A hard to find gown with sleeves |
A very popular dress at David's Bridal |
Here is an Oleg Cassini gown, brand new, for only $450. I love the sweetheart neckline on this dress.
For brides who didn't know how assessible the preowned market had become, there is always the opportunity to sell their dress when the wedding is over. In fact, it really helps to make that decision beforehand. I can give you lots of good reasons why you should sell it, but that's another post!
What about you? What are your feelings about a preowned wedding dress?

I looked at a couple but ended up getting a great deal on a $1200 Paloma Blanca sample dress for only $299! Samples or preowned - either way it is a great way to cut a chunk out of your budget!
Love the Oleg Cassini - my dress was an Oleg Cassini and I adored it.
I have TWO wedding dresses, I paid way to much for the first and wish I would have considered a "pre owned" dress!
