Weddings On A Shoe String Budget - Save On Your We

Wedding dresses can cost thousands of dollars - just look at the latest celebrity bride. But yours doesn't have to. You can be beautiful and stay on a shoestring budget. There are alternatives to spending a small fortune on your wedding gown.
Weddings on shoestring budget: It doesn't mean you can't have a beautiful wedding dress.
Don't shop in the wedding department. It seems there is a surcharge on any dress once it's labeled as a bride's dress. Shop in the formal evening wear department or even look at prom dresses. The Christmas holidays and New Year's means the stores are packed with formal wear. Many of these dresses could be used as a breathtaking wedding gown.
Have your heart set on a gown from a wedding salon? If you have enough notice, and most brides do since they plan their weddings six months in advance, shop the sales at wedding salons. Wedding Gowns go on sale after June. You can also buy samples or floor models. Most of them are in good shape. There are discontinued wedding dress models that are priced at a substantial discount. And there are gowns that were ordered and delivered but never picked up. This is a clever way to keep your wedding on a shoestring budget
Wedding veils are much less expensive than wedding dresses. Splurge on the veil and stay modest with your gown.
Look on ebay or even your hometown newspaper for a dress that's been barely worn. Or perhaps not even worn at all. It's sad but true, weddings do get canceled. And while you're looking at ebay,cheap wedding gowns, also use the Internet to find wedding gown bargains. Just punch in wedding gown + bargain,wedding dresses 2010, +cheap, or +discount.
Your wedding can be fairy tale princess beautiful and no one will ever know it was a wedding on a shoestring budget.
