Many women spend a
good chunk of their lives dreaming of the beautiful frock we will wear on our
wedding day, almost to the exclusion of thinking about anything else in that
little fantasy. It is possible, if not downright easy, to find a gorgeous gown
for far less than the astronomical prices charged by bridal salons.
There are lots of
alternative options to get a beautiful
gown -- even a designer gown --
at a far lower price than at a bridal salon. eBay, Craigslist and secondhand
stores all have beautiful designer gowns at a fraction of the cost.
Many bridesmaid
dresses are available in white or ivory and cost a fraction of what bridal
gowns do -- check out Watters and Watters and Jim Hjelm Occasions for some
beautiful budget-friendly designs.
Don't
buy an expensive veil. You would be spending upwards of $200 for fabric that
really only costs a few dollars per yard. Buy the fabric and have one made --
you'll save hundreds of dollars. Or skip the veil and wear a beautiful jeweled
comb or flowers in your hair.
