One of the greatest days of your life should not be ruined because of worries and stress about financial issues. It is true that weddings are expensive. The average cost of wedding is $25,000. Statistics shows that people spend $40 billions for weddings all over the country every year. In my opinion everyone can cut the cost of wedding significantly and still have it look like if you hired an expensive consultant and did everything he told you to do.

The budget is the number one issue in planning the wedding. That's why it needs to be thoroughly planned ahead of time. Once you defined you wedding budget you need to allocate the exact amount for each category like reception, bride's attire, flowers, music, photography etc.

When I got engaged the first thing I did was went to different bridal salons to try wedding dresses. Of course bridal attire is one of the significant expenses in the wedding budget. Therefore I can suggest you a few tips that can cut the cost considerably.

1. Buy Discount Dress
You can find discount market everywhere. It may include even factory outlets. Such factory outlets like Gunne Sax have even separate sections specifically for wedding attire. Also if you live near the border the prices for wedding dress is significantly lower in Mexico or Canada.

2. Bridesmaid's Dress in White
You may not be aware but you can buy a dress at the bridal shop from bridesmaid's rack. They may have white or ivory dresses available. Some of them even have a train. If you would like a longer train you can always add it.

3. Prom Dress
You may have noticed that prom and other special occasion dresses can be easily transformed into a wedding dress. You only have to add a few details to make it look as wedding attire.
