How to Shop a Bridal Sample Sale Like a Pro

With summer weddings in full swing, we’re busy gearing up to welcome next year’s brides. That means it’s the perfect time to take advantage of one of the biggest bridal savings of the year: the National Bridal Sale event! This limited time event is happening July 12-26 and will feature a gorgeous selection of designer wedding dresses at prices that will make saying “yes” even easier. 


If you’re new to bridal sample sales, here’s the deal: sample bridal gowns are the dresses brides try on in the boutique - carefully cared for, often from previous collections, and offered at a deep discount to make way for new inventory. It’s a chance to buy a beautiful, high-quality wedding dress at a fraction of the retail price, often with the bonus of taking it home immediately.


Shopping a sample sale is perfect whether you’re getting married later this year or in 2026. Buying during a sale means locking in incredible savings before prices go up, which is a huge win. Plus, if you’re working with a shorter timeline, a sample sale wedding dress means no long wait times for shipping or waiting for your dress to come in before alterations - you can get started on your wedding day look right away!

 


Here are some tips to shop like a pro:


Book your appointment early. Sample sales are popular and dresses go quickly. Securing a spot means you get the best access and personalized attention.


Come prepared. Nude undergarments and shoes with a heel similar to what you plan to wear help you get the full picture of how the dress will look on your big day.


Keep an open mind. Sometimes the perfect dress isn’t the one you expected. Be willing to try on different styles - you might be surprised by what you fall in love with!


Act fast when you find “the one.” Sample sale gowns are first come, first served. If you find your dream dress, don’t wait!
