Let's talk about weddings... And how expensive they can be. There's the cost of the venue, flowers, bridesmaids dresses, rings, photography, favors, and the list goes on, and on, and on.
Naturally, when it came to my own wedding I looked for ways to be frugal without compromising my own sense of style. Let's start with one of the most important components that first comes to mind of a newly-engaged bride-to-be — THE DRESS.
I couldn't pick just one! Ever since Sex And The City: The Movie, I fell in love with the idea of doing a multiple dress photo shoot. Our chosen wedding photographers, Katch Studios, was excited to embark on this adventure with us and entertained my dream of shooting several dresses as our non-conventional engagement photo shoot.
The above 3 dresses, ordered from dhgate.com and milanoo.com, each cost an average of $120 shipping included. We lucked out as Bao Bei Chinese Brasserie opened their doors to us on a Sunday for Katch to capture these and other stunning images.
Now you've seen the 3 dresses I wore for the engagement photo shoot... What about the dress on the day of my wedding?!? Again, ordered from dhgate.com for $100 shipping included:
What are your thoughts on saving or splurging on a wedding dress? Leave me a comment below. Stayed tuned for photos and more frugal ideas from our wedding day!
