Instead of wasting precious wedding budget money buying wedding planning guides and catalogs, request free bridal catalogs whenever you can. Catalogs are easily transported and you do not have to wait for any images to be downloaded. Free catalogs may still have shipping and handling charges, so decide whether this small fee is worth the entire catalog before you order.

Wedding gown designers often have catalogs that are shipped to bridal stores, too. For example, Allure Bridals offers catalogs at authorized dealers. Ask at your appointment about various designer catalogs. Accessory providers, like En Vogue Bridal Accessories, will also have their printed catalogs available at authorized retailers. Then you can browse tiaras, veils and other options at your leisure.

Indian Wedding Dress Catalogs
An Indian wedding dress is much more unique and unusual than classic bridal gowns. Utsav sells a wide variety of exclusive wedding bridal Lehnga Cholis and traditional wedding accessories.

A Chinese wedding requires a variety of beautiful dresses for the bride. EfuShop allows you to choose your own fabric, buttons and style to create a unique cheongsam.

More Places to Request Wedding Catalogs
Sign up to get free wedding magazines and catalogs in a variety of places beyond those available online. Additional places to request free catalogs include:
- Sending in a card or calling a number out of the back of a bridal magazine to request free catalogs

If you have a wedding coordinator, don't forget to ask her for any catalogs she recommends too. She will know exactly which ones have the best items and which ones offer the most savings.
Send for Catalogs With Caution
Use free bridal catalogs to help cut costs and find the best deals for your big day. Be careful about "free trials" or "free issues" that may be offered, however, as you might need to cancel a subscription plan in order not to get charged for a catalog or magazine. In addition to bridal supplies, you can also find general wedding supplies and even cake catalogs for free to help with your wedding planning.
