That being said, there are ways to cut costs or do things a little differently such as:
There are no hard and fast rules as to when to buy your bridesmaid dresses. If you buy them a year or more in advance of your wedding date, be aware of any changes during that time for example:
This will mean you may need to rebuy bridesmaid dresses, which you’ll want to avoid due to busting your wedding budget. So if you are planning a budget wedding, it’s a good idea to buy bridesmaid dresses around 6 months in advance.
This will allow time for alterations, and accessory buying plus hopefully, you can snag some last-minute dress bargains too.
Bridesmaid dresses can cost £0 if wearing something already owned and could cost upwards of £200 for brand names or luxe custom-made frocks.
It really comes down to your budget and the number of bridesmaids you have chosen to stand by your side. Try to over budget if you can, so that you have enough in your wedding fund to purchase and if you make a saving, that’s a win-win.
It’s a good idea to budget around £60-80 per dress, but you could certainly get a cute bridesmaid dress for the £40 mark on the high street.
But, don’t forget to budget for accessories too! And bridesmaid gifts while you are there.
