Should I have a budget before going wedding dress shopping?

Having budget in mind is a good idea. Think about what is the most you can spend on your dress and then remember to factor in possible cost of alterations, Accsesories, shoes, underwear and anything else you might need on the day to complete your outfit.

Yes you should have. So you will not over spend for the wedding but still happy with the dream dress. And please don't forget to have room for alteration fee. 

Congratulations on your Engagement, budget is such a personal matter, however we recommend you discuss this with your consultant. Not only will they be able to help you find your dream dress for a great price, they will also be able to accomodate any changes that your hoping to make to your gown within that price range too. Head in to your local Luv Bridal showroom so our Team can acquaint you with our current promtion and help you say yes to your dress. 

Good luck

From our perspective, we find it extremely helpful if our brides come to an appointment with a good understanding of their budget. It's not so much about us - as the wedding dress maker and supplier - it's more about the bride. It can be heartbreaking to find a gown you absolutely love only to find out that it's way outside your budget. Knowing what your budget is really helps us frame the conversation, and show you designs that are possible to achieve.

It also goes beyond budget - having a well populated pinterest board, images, photos and drawings of the styles you like can really help as well. It's all about helping you find the dress that's 'the one'. 

We really hope this helps  :-)
