The bride has said “Yes,” the date is set, and now the hunt for the perfect dress begins. According to The Knot, the average price of a wedding dress in 2026 will be around $2,100. That in itself is a significant sum. However, as one bride recently found out, you might be expected to shell out even more.
A few days ago, bride-to-be Amelia Mulligan shared her story about how she was expected to tip at the bridal salon. Confused about whether this was common practice, she asked other brides about their experiences. In the comments, former brides and bridal stylists alike came to her defense, saying that tipping culture has gotten out of control.
