Diary of the Cheap Bride: Finding Affordable Wedding Dresses
When I was planning my wedding, my fiancé and I had a very tight budget. As sad as that may sound, it was a huge consideration for us, however we wanted to make the day as beautiful as we could for as little money as possible. It seemed overwhelming at times, and there were some things that went by the wayside. But all in all, we were extremely happy with the plans we had made.
One of the first things that we decided to do away with was a limousine service. Since we held our ceremony and reception at the same location, we felt it was unnecessary and opted not to use one. Of course it would have been fun, but really we felt it was just a waste. We also opted to have our wedding on a day on which most caterers are less busy, and found that they are willing to offer you a substantial discount in lieu of a Saturday affair which is most popular.
Another way we saved money was by ordering our bridal attire from a website that sold wedding dresses. It was not something I thought I would ever do; I am not a big online shopper, but it was so easy! And the selection was fantastic. Every designer label you could think of, free shipping, quick delivery etc… and the service was so good and quick that I started to order everything like a mad bride set free with a Visa.
Bridesmaid dresses, gifts for my attendants, shoes, lingerie, you name it, I bought it. It was one of the easier things I did to navigate through the entire process of planning my wedding. In fact, I would say that it was the single most time and money saving decision we made.
