Fall is here, and that means homecoming is almost here! We've put together a homecoming planning guide to help you make the most of your school's homecoming traditions! We've got a lot of basics here, like how to figure out your budget and what your dress shopping schedule should look like. Now let's get started!

Developing a budget
How much will homecoming cost you? You may only need to purchase a ticket to attend the hoco dance. Homecoming dresses, shoes, hairstyles, makeup, and other items can cost several hundred dollars, including a fancy ride, professional pictures, and a fancy ride. Homecoming preparation budgets are determined by what's most important to you (and your budget, of course).

There are only two must-haves: a ticket and a dress, so start there and decide what's most important. Homecoming dresses vary in price depending on the designer and style - many start at $150 or more. At Lasting Impressions, you'll find a gorgeous collection of homecoming dresses from designers such as Sherri Hill, Alyce Paris, and Jessica Angel.

Shoes, hair, makeup, and nails should also be considered for your budget. Even though these are optional, getting glammed up is always fun! Make plans for dinner after the dance or share a fancy ride with friends. When planning, keep those things in mind! No matter how simple or elaborate your homecoming dance is, make memories!

WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO START SHOPPING FOR A HOCO DRESS?
Buy your homecoming dress as soon as possible! By buying your homecoming dress early, you are more likely to get the exact style and color you want. Homecoming events usually take place in September or early October, so you should start shopping for dresses as soon as you return to school. Can't wait until homecoming even though it's off-season? If you're planning ahead, check out sales on hoco dresses! The off-season is a great time to shop for dresses because you can get great deals. Your dress will fit perfectly if you purchase it in advance, and your shoes and accessories will match the dress perfectly as well. Shopping for homecoming dresses is always better done in advance.

STYLE CHOICES FOR DRESSES
The best way to choose a homecoming dress is to follow the school's dress code. You don't want to get turned away at the door because your fashion is too bold, so make sure you check with your homecoming committee first. Consult your homecoming flyer or ticket stub for dress requirements for the dance.

Choosing a dress that fits your style will be your next step. Is a whimsical vibe more your style? For a youthful look, wear fit-and-flare or high-low styles. Do you want to be the center of attention? Under the lights, a sequin or glitter homecoming dress will make you sparkle. In terms of your dress' color, anything goes in hoco! There are a wide variety of homecoming dresses you can choose from, including yellow, red, and white. Put on something free-flowing that you will feel comfortable in if you plan to dance.
