The Dress

There are so many things that you can do yourself to save money on wedding expenses, but some brides just do not have the right resources. Let me see if I can help a little...
This week, we will discuss saving money on The Dress.
Here in Middle TN, there are several consignment shops that sell consigned wedding dresses or deeply-discontinued gowns! Also, if you are not keeping your dress, you can sell it to them after the wedding.

Other resources:
Craigslist and Ebay- just be sure you know what size you need if ordering off of ebay! Remember, wedding dresses run a little small, depending on the brand. So, you may want to order one size larger than what you normally wear.

Fashion Major College Students- post an ad, ask a friend... most students have to make a formal dress as an assignment at some point. Why not have them make yours and have a one-of-a-kind creation? You can also find a local seamstress, you just may end up paying a little more. :)


My Friends at Julius Bridal-

They will make you ANY dress that you want, just email them photos. They will copy any designer's dress, etc- for a fraction of the cost! They are amazing. Their website is http://juliusbridal.com/; you can also find them on ebay: http://stores.ebay.com/Julius-Atelier-Couture.




Good luck on finding that perfect dress! If you have any questions or need more suggestions, please email me- jennifer@idoweddingsTn.com
