The Ultimate Guide to Bridal Shopping in Phoenix | Legacy Bridal Boutique

If you’re newly engaged — congratulations! 🎉 Now comes one of the most exciting parts of wedding planning: finding your dream dress.

But with so many options and questions (“When should I start shopping?” “How much should I budget?” “Where do I go first?”), it can feel overwhelming. That’s where we come in.

At Legacy Bridal Boutique, we’ve helped hundreds of Arizona brides find the one — and we know exactly how to make the process stress-free (and fun!).

Here’s your ultimate guide to bridal shopping in Phoenix:

When Should You Start Shopping for Your Wedding Dress?

The golden rule: start early. You can never be too early to shop for your wedding gown.

We recommend shopping 9–12 months before your wedding. This allows time for your dress to be ordered, shipped, and altered without any stress or additional fees.

Getting married sooner? Don’t worry — we offer rush options and off-the-rack gowns for short timelines and have a trusted friendship/partnership with Tailored in White for your bridal alterations.

How Much Should You Budget?

Most brides in Arizona spend between $1,500 and $2,000 on their wedding dress. At Legacy, we work within your budget to find a gown that makes you feel amazing without breaking the bank. Our stylists are not working on commission either, making staying under your budget easy!

Our gown prices range between $1,000-$4,000.

Pro Tip: Don’t forget to budget for alterations and accessories (like veils, jewelry, and hairpieces).

Where Should You Shop?

Your dress journey should feel special — not rushed or overwhelming.

At Legacy Bridal Boutique, you’ll get:

• Private bridal suites for you and your guests

• One-on-one styling with a dedicated Legacy Babe

• A curated collection of handpicked designer gowns

Legacy Bride, Porsha, had this to say about Legacy Bridal: "I first came across Legacy Bridal at the Wedding Expo. Their team and dress selection was hands down the BEST! Danielle was my stylist and she made sure me and my bridal party were in great hands the entire time. I said YES to my dress after several tough decisions from their beautiful selection!!"
