‘Tis the season for holiday music, family time, and a lot of shopping. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are approaching, and with that comes the rush of emails in your inbox with the latest deals from every store. If you’re a bride-to-be who is newly subscribed to all things wedding, this can feel very overwhelming. It’s okay to take advantage of these deals, but how do you make sure you’re being efficient with your budget? Scroll down to read 3 ways to shop smart during black friday for your wedding!

1. Buy Essentials First.

If you’re budgeting for a wedding, a great place to start is by picking your top 3 priority essentials. These are usually the things that you want to invest in and to make sure you LOVE. This can be your venue, florist, and your wedding dress! Once you get these priorities checked off the list, you can rest easy seeing what the remainder of your budget will allow for other wedding day things. Black Friday or the time around holidays is generally one of the best times to purchase things for the best possible price out of the whole year. Right now Afarose is having 15% off their whole bridal collection! This is a great time to invest in one of your top wedding essentials. Click here to shop wedding dresses.

2. Check Return and Price Match Policies.

Especially when you’re purchasing your dress online, you want to make sure you can try it on at home and fall in love with it first before saying YES.

This is exactly why Afarose is an ecommerce bridal shop that offers a try-at-home experience. You can still get the sale deals, but completely avoid the chaos of a in-person shopping experience.
