Cheap Wedding Hair Idea


So... every bride wants a great hairstyle for her wedding, right?

Here is one bridal hair idea to save you money. If you have a friend or family member who is a stylist or is just really good with hair, ask them if they would be willing to fix your hair as their wedding gift to you! You never know until you ask!

This could be a great gift solution for them as well, if they are financially strapped during these difficult economic times. Be sure to ask for a trial style a week or two before the wedding, so she (or he) can practice. Have a couple pictures ready of the style you'd like them to create for you. That makes everyone's life easier!

We also know of an online hairstyle finder that might come in handy for planning your wedding hairstyle. Check it out our information about it and link HERE.

Weddings - Simple Ways to Save Money


Hello readers!

We're going to start a series of short posts giving you quick tips and ideas on how to save money on your wedding, item-by-item. If you didn't already realize... As soon as the word "bridal" is attached to any sort of product, the price automatically jumps. For our first money saving idea, we're going to talk about "bridal" shoes.

I know some of you "shoe gals" aren't going to be loving this post, but have to mention it anyway! You can save some cash by just purchasing regular heels or flats. Actually, most bridal flip-flops are reasonable, but not appropriate for all gowns and weddings. It's nice on your budget when you can purchase an item that can be used again after the wedding, which regular white or ivory shoes could!

If your heart is set on bridal shoes, check out our shoe page HERE. There are at least some good deals to be found!

Wedding Savings Tip of the Week


Have you dreamed of a destination wedding? Warm sun, sand between your toes, hearing waves crashing as you proclaim "I do"...

Could a destination wedding really save you money? It just might, if you do it right. Here are a few things to think about:
  • Keep the wedding small. Chances are, only your closest friends and family will want to travel away for your wedding anyway. A smaller guest list translates into smaller costs for many items, including guest favors, catering, venue, wedding cake size, drinks, etc.

  • Decorations. If you find a beautiful setting for your ceremony, your decor needs will be minimal, if anything. That saves $!

  • Where do you want to honeymoon? Why not get married there then! If you're going there anyway, that seems like the appropriate place for the wedding.

  • Consider your photographer. Do you know a photographer who needs a vacation? What if you offered that person airfare and hotel in exchange for being your wedding photographer? That could actually save you money, and be a tempting offer for a photographer. Try it!
Those are just a few thoughts and ideas to get your mind buzzing. Can you think of anything else? We're glad to hear your brilliant ideas too...

Quick Wedding Saving Tip


In this temporary economic downturn, engaged couples are searching for ways to save money, yet still have a great wedding. Can it be done? YES! Here is our tip of the day...

Ask your local grocery store bakery about when they will have their wedding cakes on sale. Yes, it's true... they do actually have sales from time-to-time, believe it or not! Check with the bakery staff. Cakes normally do not need to be ordered with huge lead times, and if you know they will be having a sale, wait to order it then.

You can also save by ordering plain, round tiers individually, and then decorating them with fresh flowers at the reception yourself! If these options are even too much, simply purchase a top tier for yourselves and make matching cupcakes for guests.

Good luck!
