Here come the brides (and the savings!)

With the calendar flipping over to June, we’re hearing the wedding bells ringing for the summer 2014 season. According to The Knot, a leading wedding publication, the most popular months for weddings are June and September. Whether you’re a bride who hasn’t yet committed to a dress, are shopping for a dress for next summer, are starring in a wedding as a bridesmaid or are just shopping for the perfect dress to make your rounds as a guest in the wedding circuit this summer, now is the perfect time to shop. It’s sale and clearance season for wedding attire (read: If you waited to the last-minute, you’re actually going to get rewarded with big savings!).

Here’s where you can find the best dresses (as well as some budget-friendly tips for wedding attire).

Target’s relatively new wedding boutique Telovio has marked down this season’s already-low price wedding dresses, bridal gowns and flower girl dresses. Can you believe this soft satin cap sleeve dress (perfect for a garden wedding) is on sale for $69.99? Inspired by the nudes and champagne colors that graced the red carpet season, this Shantung V-Neck Ruffle Dress in a “bare canvas” color has boning and full lining, and feminine ruffles to accentuate the neckline and is on sale for $41.99. We suspect the leading ladies will want to wear this dress year-round. (Savings tip: Earn Cash Back and other exclusive deals at Target when you shop with ShopAtHome.com).
David’s Bridal Semi-Annual sale begins June 6. More than 20,000 gowns will be marked down to $99 — which is up to 70 percent off! Some bridal trends that we’re spotting at David’s Bridal: Jeweled necklines with illusion beading and lots of lacy accents.
Several gorgeous wedding dresses in the Ann Taylor wedding collection are listed at a “special price,” plus you’ll get an additional 40 percent off sale!
