Help Locating a Reasonable Wedding Dress Store

David's Bridal, you can also look online.

There's an online retailer called Azazie that is super popular for bridesmaids' dresses and also carries really nice wedding gowns for very reasonable prices. Dresses can be ordered to "try-on" at home for a nominal price. Good luck!

David’s Bridal carries dresses at various price points, including under $200. In my experience, looking online and hoping to try on my favorites in store didn’t work out, they had like two out of 25 styles I liked online which was frustrating.
Depending on your budget, the National Bridal Sales Event is 7/20-7/27 and some Cincinnati boutiques participate offering designer dresses at a fraction of the regular price, the website to find participating boutiques is https://www.nationalbridalsaleevent.com/ . The boutique closest to me says all their dresses will be under $700 for the event and they usually start at $2500+.
Another option is to look for consignment shops in your area. I’m weary about buying online because my body type is nothing like the models in the pictures, so I definitely need to try things on.

I suggest David’s Bridal. I went there and tried on several dresses. The one I absolutely adored was clearanced down to $250. They are very helpful and really listened to me and made good suggestions. I believe that the dresses are priced no higher than $1500 to $2000.

I’m from Cincinnati and even after looking st the reading bridal district I ended up using David’s bridal. Couldn’t wrap my head around spending that much on a dress and the one I fell in love with was from David’s bridal and about $500.

Azazie is fantastic, order dresses totry on at home, free custom measurements and less than half the price of regular bridal boutiques!
