A Dressy Wedding Issue
When it comes to having a wedding in fancy Manhattan, 'cheap' is not even a word that should cross your mind. The word to use would be 'affordable'. However, this is not to say that you can't save a couple of bucks and not end up filing for bankruptcy right after the wedding. There are things that you can skimp on and then there are others you can't.
Suffice to say, finding a really elegant wedding dress in Manhattan that doesn't cost a bomb is difficult because it's not one of the most expensive cities to live in in the world for nothing. But there are ways around this problem.
One would be to book a wedding dress in advance through the internet. There are loads and loads of wedding dresses for sale made available online. The only problem with ordering a wedding gown or dress online is the size and fitting. That is where 'in advance' comes into play. Give yourself enough time to try and test out the wedding dresses and return them or exchange them. Ordering a wedding dress through a website can save you not only money but also time. And you will be amazed at the kind of quality and variety that you can find online.
The great thing about ordering a wedding dress online is that they are, sometimes, exclusive designs. That is because some of these talented tailors come up with their own designs based on their own experience, education and inspiration. Some wedding dresses being put up on sale or rent through websites are imaginative and fun.
It would be splendid if you could find a wedding dress maker who could custom-make a design for you to your size, but in Manhattan, that would cost you extra mullah in the end...which defeats the 'saving money' purpose.
The other way to save money on a wedding dress is to wear something from your mom or your sister. I know it sounds very cheap but let's think about things logically. How many times do you think your mom or sister's worn the wedding dress? Chances are, they've only worn it once! And that would mean that it is practically brand new. Why waste a wedding dress that is in perfectly wearable condition when you can save quite a bit of money and spend a little bit more on something else like a better Manhattan party bus limousine rental package for the wedding limo?
Think about it.
