With the global economy in such a disarray, people are trying to save money any way possible. But being too creative with your event budget can sometimes be a risky game to play. On WE TV’s Girl Meets Gown, sisters Lindsay and Lauren decide they will take their $3000.00 dress budgets and combine them and share a single wedding gown. This would allow them to purchase an in season couture gown verses having to purchase a sample gown or find one on sale. In a day and time where most brides have a costume change before or during their reception the idea of sharing your gown is seriously farfetched.
The biggest dilemma in a situation like this is agreeing on the perfect dress. Even sisters who wear the same size and are the same height may not have the same vision when it comes to the perfect gown which is what happened in this case. Long story short the girls opted for separate dresses which left one sister with a much smaller budget but in the end both girls were happy.
What lengths are you are willing to go to in order to cut costs for your special day or do a have a sky is the limit budget? Would sharing a dress, renting a dress or even purchasing an already used dress be an option for you or will you be one of the lucky brides who has multiple dresses for your special day? Share your thoughts and ideas on this topic. We would love to hear from you.
