Bride on a Budget



These days the cost to throw a wedding is skyrocketing. According to The Wedding Book by Mindy Weiss, a bride's gown should only take up 5% of the budget for the big day. Uh....have you guys seen how much gowns are costing these days??? Gimme a break! Keep calm though....there are designers out there that have you, the bride on a budget, in mind. Take Watters for example, they have a line out called Wtoo that offers brides elegant, fresh, and contemporary gowns at affordable pricing. Also, consider opting for a more simple gown(the less fabric, beading, and lace etc...will drop the price of a gown significantly.). By doing this you can go all out on nice jewelry that you will wear again after the wedding, cuz lets face it ladies the chances of you wearing your wedding gown again are slim to nill!
The dresses featured are both from Watters WTOO line.

I am a bride on a budget, so this is where I get excited! My advice to the budget-minded bride, is to order a bridesmaid dress as a wedding gown. I ordered a Watters bridesmaid dress (#6470 -- in dupioni silk! - not polyester satin like many "budget" dresses are), and cannot wait to wear it for my special day! :-) When I got my quotes on dresses I was interested in from netbrides, I found that even the WTOO wedding gowns like the ones shown here are at least twice as much as what my dress ended up being. Just my two-cents, hope it helps, ladies! Good luck! :-)
