Do you want your wedding memorable? If so, how do you want
your wedding to be remembered and start the planning process from there! Spending
less on your wedding day does not mean you have to give up elegance, romance,
or fun. It’s all about choices, priorities, and a theme that is the perfect of
elegance and budget mindedness. Savvy brides can save money and still have a
smashing wedding. Picking the right theme can make all the difference. Set the
tone for your wedding by choosing wedding invitations that evoke the spirit of
your theme. You will also want your wedding dress to help with the theme on the
day of the wedding. If getting married on the beach, a flowing dress with little
beading is best. Getting married in a castle, then a huge ball gown dress is
perfect. Everyone will have their eyes on the bride and her dress will say it
all! Don’t forget to purchase the Wedding Dress Shopping 101 booklet, there
are great tips and tricks you can use to save money when purchasing your
wedding dress.

will be the funniest part, about the entire event.
