“This one is the best because it’s the most expensive right?”
I remember speaking to a fellow bride friend of mine as we discussed our pending nuptials. My wedding was more accurately described as poor bride chic whereas hers was more platinum wedding. Both of our weddings were amazing, each with its own sense of unique bride style with the primary difference being budget. It recently occurred to me that given the current state of economy, that if I were to plan a wedding now I would be even more frugal with my wedding cash. How so?
I recently discovered a couple of great sites through http://www.thebrokeassbride.com/ which lead me to find http://recycledbride.com/ and http://brideshare.net/. It is now easier than ever to have an unforgettable day without breaking the bank and these ladies are the experts!
The Broke Ass Bride
Bride$hare
Recycled Bride
All of these sites allow and encourage Brides-to-be to save money, share tips, or swap and sell their gently used wedding fare – which is great for those on a budget and even better for those who want to go green for their wedding day! Bride$hare is also a social networking site designed to help brides save money by sharing wedding-related resources and goods. Decor, apparel, rentals, and even vendors can be shared, swapped, or sold through Bride$hare connections which means that you get the skinny on the best wedding deals out there while your wallet stays delightfully plump.
Just because something is expensive does not make it the best, but you can do the best with what you have.
Check out the sites above for great deals, tips and tools for planning your wedding and managing your budget all in one place!
