I often tell brides that the wedding dress is just one small expense in the overall wedding budget. I encourage them NOT shop for their bridal grown at our Atlanta a bridal Consignment shop until they have done the following:
- Set firm wedding date
- Set a total wedding budget and determined how much the can spend on their wedding gown.
- Book the wedding/reception venues and made the $ deposit to secure them.
Until these 3 important wedding planning steps are taken, it is too soon to shop for a wedding dress. The venue determines the style and appropriate fabric. The venue and reception are the biggest cost factor and will eat up most of the budget.
At Le Dress Boutique, Luxury Consignment in Atlanta, we cater to value oriented brides who have champagne taste but only want to pay chardonnay prices for a high quality, designer wedding gown. Our brides won’t settle for the low quality, mass produced wedding gowns from a certain big box retailer. We do not encourage brides to go over their dress budget, as we know it is just one of many wedding expenses.
Here is a great article on Pinterest and wedding costs. At Le Dress Boutique, we see brides who come in with a picture of a bridal gown they saw on Pintrest, but they have no idea that that goreous Claire Pettibone, lace back dress costs $4,000-6,000!

The wedding has been called off. Dreams are cancelled, and the dread of starting over and finding a new partner starts. But almost always, a cancelled wedding happens for a good reason. Here are a few tips for getting over your cancelled engagement and wedding day…
- Take time to reflect on where it went wrong. Were there signs that you ignored?
- Did you have the same Core Values? To have long term success in a marriage you need a foundation that is similar. Although a couple may have different tastes in music or hobbies, having similar “Core Values” with regards to honesty, work ethic, money, and moral beliefs is crucial to long term success.
- Purge the wedding dress and know there will be another in your future. You won’t want to wear it next time, and when it’s gone, you WILL feel better. You can sell your wedding gown and use the money for healing tip #4.
- Take a vacation and spend some time with friends.
- Take up a new activity or volunteer with a charity. This will give you something positive to think about.
As the owner of a Bridal Consignment Shop in Atlanta, Le Dress Boutique, I deal with this every week. I too cancelled my wedding 3 weeks before the big day. After reflecting and learning from the situation, I went on to choose a great partner and husband. We just celebrated 14 years of marriage. When I consign a wedding gown from a broken-hearted bride, I like to send them a note with the check from the sale, to let them know that the dress has gone on to another happy bride. This typically closes this final, unhappy chapter. AND – we see many of those brides again within 1-2 years to buy another wedding dress.
