AHH! I'm so excited to be sharing this with you! :) In case you didn't already know, I just got married this June. I'm loving married life by the way. And so glad the planning is OVER and I can simply enjoy being married with my favorite person ever! :)
Anyway, as I'm sure EVERYONE knows - weddings can be terribly expensive. The perfect wedding dress alone can add up to quite a bit! I struggled a little bit with the thought of paying hundreds of dollars for a dress that I would wear one time. And yet I still wanted a beautiful dress that I could feel beautiful and special in. I went dress shopping a few times to get an idea of what I liked. Trumpet style. Some ruching. Sweatheart neckline. Little train. And anything that added a little extra something - didn't want my dress to be too simple and white.
Then I searched online. I searched Craigslist - like daily. It was during one of my daily Craigslist searches when I saw "the one". So, most brides have their "moment" when they try THE dress on - my moment was definitely on the computer when I saw this beautiful dress -
which had never been worn - for just $50 - in downtown Chicago!!! I brought one of my dear friends and bridesmaid
Rita Jo along and we headed over to a little Jewish neighborhood, met a sweet girl who had changed her mind on her wedding dress, tried on the dress, and walked out with a
$650 dollar wedding dress (she still had the tags) for just $50!!!
So I bet you want to see it....
Yeah, I know...you really didn't need to see that many pictures to see what my dress looked like - but I wanted to make sure you got the whole picture! :) I loved my dress. It was perfect for me - especially since I get such a thrill saving money. It was hard for me not to share my sweet deal with everyone, but as I'm learning, not everyone likes to hear of such a great deal like that. Imagine that!! Well, that's why I have such great blog world friends that I can share this with! Thanks for reading!!!
Would anyone be interested in a wedding series? I could share my other frugal finds and other ways I helped make my wedding cheaper less expensive?!
