Tips to Help You Save Money
Planning a wedding may cost a lot of money. So many people try to save money. Here we colloect some tips which can help you:
1. Purchase an inexpensive dress from a manufacturer that makes bridesmaid dresses. Add glamour with an antique brooch, jeweled tiara, a fur wrap or sequined high heels.
2. Upscale department stores often discount wedding dresses from the past season to make room for new styles. Check newspapers and local salons for sale info. Because of huge price reductions, sales can get mobbed. Visit the shop a few days before the sale to pre-select dresses.
3. You’ll find dramatically reduced rates on gowns from exclusive stores at outlet venues like Filene’s Basement. Be prepared for open dressing rooms and less-than-pampering service.
4. Purchase your wedding dress from auction sites like eBay. Just be sure to get a photo from every angle and a full disclosure of any damage (preferably in writing) before buying.
5. Check if Mom or Grandma saved her wedding dress. If it’s in good condition, a seamstress can tailor it to fit your body. A good seamstress may be able to alter the style a bit too, to suit your tastes
6. Purchase your wedding dress from charitable organizations such as The Bridal Garden, a New York-based charitable society that donates once-worn gowns. Proceeds benefit disadvantaged kids.
