Has anyone shopped in a wedding consignment shop

Someone on here, cant remember her user name, found her dress for $16. Im not sure if it was strickly wedding though.

That would be Kristy S. in this post, and I don't think it was a bridal consignment store - I believe it was a general consignment store: https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-forums/cant-believe-it/ef0fadebe4d1db06.html

We have one here in Virginia Beach, but I had terrible service there, the shop owner was very unhelpful and uppity.

As for your shop, I say TRY IT OUT! Save where you can! [: Good luck!

Oh that would be awesome! I haven't checked out this store because its a bit of a drive but never heard of wedding consignment store prior to getting engaged so thought I would get some feedback first..I love the idea of it

Im going to try and check some out. Let us know about your trip. I cant find the gown I want for less than $400 so Im really shopping around.

I've been to a couple. One I went to had like all dresses in size 10 and under pffft, eff that. But they had alot of decorations which were a tish overpriced.

Well that's good to know, I'm more interested in decorations and centerpieces bu..t if I found a dress BONUS! So I guess you would have to really price shop before buying used

I happen to have new and once worn/used things, it depends on what has come in on consignment. I don't know how the one in your area is, but I will only take in things that are in good shape, clean and that have been used in the last 3 years. I hope you find some great deals!

Do u own a wedding consignment shop or just co

nsigned dresses? How does it all work?

You could also check out online websites like SmartBrideBoutique.com. You can search by your geographic area and by price so that you can actually find a dress (or decorations) in your area and go and try it on/inspect in person! Good luck.

I have a consignment shop in WNY. It works just like a regular consignment shop just with bridal things instead.

Hey tasha, i live in minnesota and i bought my wedding dress from a consignment store we have here. i lucked out a smaller bridal boutique closed and sold all of there wedding gowns to the consignment store so my dress was brand new with tags still attached, retail $1200 i payed $300. because my dress was so inexpensive my FH let me buy a second one for our reception:-)

NotFroofy and I got our dresses from a consignment store. Mine was used, and NotFroofy's was a sample. Not only did we save money, but we got to see exactly how dresses would look on us before buying, and take them home the same day.

Oh my gosh, I'd never heard of this until now. I just did a Yelp search and there's one nearby...gonna drag my mom there in the next day or 2. (:

I have never heard of this. This sounds great. I am going to try to find one in Grand Rapids.

Omg i love the reception dress u picked! Yeah it is an awesome idea and there isnt one very close to me but im going to go to one because i just love the concept behind it and its eco friendly would love to open up my own shop one day
