Planning a Unique Wedding on a Budget

You might be a bride who doesn’t always like to follow the rules…or do what’s expected. Perhaps your dress is pink? Maybe you are riding away from your ceremony on a Harley? Or maybe you are foregoing cake all together for a krispy kreme pile up. If this sounds like you (or the type of bride you’d like to be), come on in..the water is fine.

If the thought of going into a big name bridal shop and trying on traditional gowns makes you break out in hives, than you should avoid them at all costs. Channel your inner Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City (who did in fact break out when trying on a gown during the TV series) and pick out a simple off-the-rack outfit you will feel comfortable and attractive wearing. It doesn’t have to be white. It doesn’t have to be formal and it doesn’t have to be designer. It’s your anti-wedding, so pick out a style that suits you.

Some brides (especially those who have already walked down the aisle once before) choose to forgo the traditional white or ivory wedding dress in favor of a more vibrant, unique hue. Wedding dresses can range from pale yellow to metallic hues of gold. Depending on which shade you choose, a wedding dress in one of these classic colors stands out for either a subtle or dramatic effect.

Brides on a budget who want a nontraditional wedding dress need look no further than the bridesmaids’ section of local boutiques. Bridesmaids dresses come in a variety of sleek and sophisticated styles (both long and short), and in practically any color imaginable. The best part is they cost a fraction of the price of those traditional bridal gowns a few aisles over.
