It also featured our Bridesmaid 368 the two dress for the price of one.
Other tips to save you dollars on your big day:

- Don't compromise on your photography, its too expensive to repeat the day so you want to make sure you have the right professional at hand. Asking a family member or friend also puts a lot of pressure on them as well. These days many photographers offer payment plans or alternatively make your gift registry your photographer.
- Make your honeymoon your gift registry
- If you have friends or family that have nice cars ask to borrow or even ask if they will drive you to the event, just purchase the bridal car ribbon.
