Save Money on Your Wedding Garb
It’s the most important day of your life; it’s also going to be the most expensive days of your life. Can you guess what it is yet? That’s right; it’s your wedding day.
Weddings are expensive for two reasons. Firstly, people wish for their weddings to be special, and unfortunately, this often costs money. Secondly, the people in the wedding business understand how important the day is, and consequently choose to up their prices and basically fix the industry at unimaginable costs, which far out strip the real costs. Fortunately, there are ways of saving money – without resorting to drastic action, and here we explain how.
The first thing to remember when buying anything for your wedding is that the items you purchase will only have a shelf life of a single day. That’s right, that £5000 dress will only be worn for one day. Let us look at each key item in turn and show you how to save those precious pennies:
The Dress
You have several options here:
1. You can buy that really expensive dress, you know, ‘The One’, but once you have finished with it, you can sell it on. Here, although the initial layout will be expensive, you will recoup much of your money. For instance, a dress costing £1000 may well sell for £800.
2. You can buy a second hand dress. Depending on the dress you can expect to find some brilliant dresses at knock-down prices. They will have been worn once or twice, but that’s nothing – most are in pristine condition and if not, then you don’t have to buy it.
3. You can make your own dress. The materials will be far cheaper, and you can make it exactly how you want.
The Shoes
People often pay ridiculous amounts of money for their wedding shoes, but there is little point in this. Firstly, most people will not see the shoes, because wedding dresses are so long as to cover them. Secondly, even if they do see your wedding shoes, it will only be from a distance. And thirdly, you will only wear them once, so what is the point of buying a really expensive pair – the cheaper pairs look equally good, just check out http://www.mr-shoes.co.uk/ for proof.
