Wedding on a Budget
A wise bride has a budget for her wedding. Often brides end up spending more for their wedding dress than they intended. In a shop filled with wedding dresses between $800 and $5,000, a $2,000 price tag can look like a bargain. Determine your budget before you set foot in a bridal shop and stick to it. Here are a few low-budget tips:
~ 1. Embellish an off-the-rack dress. Hire a seamstress to add trimmings, or do it yourself.
~ 2. Wear something borrowed. Have your mother's, grandma's, sister's or aunt's dress fitted to you.
~ 3. Use champagne flute bubbles instead of rice, also they make great wedding favors.
