Great Wedding Bargains Online!
By Mark Saunders
Depending on where you are in the world, the cost of a wedding can run
anywhere from a mere US$55 (which is just the marriage license) to as
much as US$100,000. In the UK the average is between ฃ16000 and ฃ25000.
In the US, it runs to about US$19,000. That's a whale of a lot of money
that couples spend to make 1 single day memorable.
It's actually possible to have a great wedding without breaking the
bank. For example, do you know that it is possible to find a great wedding
dress for as low as ฃ14.90? You can get shoes for a mere ฃ9.99. Imagine
a wedding outfit for less than ฃ25!
It's easy to keep the costs of your wedding down. The first step is to
decide on a budget so that you know exactly how much you have to work
with. Once you have that figure firmly in mind, the next step is to find
items that will look gorgeous yet be less expensive than if you had
them specially designed.
Bargains can be found everywhere. You can go to flea markets, wedding
expo's, or to mall sales to find good discounts. Especially in the off
season, items you need for your reception will cost only a fraction of
their normal cost than if you get it in the months of May to October.
Here's an even better idea: instead of walking around and around and
just maybe finding what you need, let the internet work for you. Go
shopping online and have fun surfing the web for the elements to make your
wedding absolutely perfect! There are quite a number of bargains to be
made if you look in the right places. Best of all, no painful feet!
Some sites will list selections of wedding dresses, gowns and suits for
the entourage, shoes, flowers and decorations. Others will also include
jewelry, wedding favors and even wedding cakes. There will even be some
that will have items like wedding confetti, wedding albums and wedding
gifts.
With online shopping the only concern you have is that you don't get to
physically inspect each item. You get them on an as is where is basis.
Just make sure that you are getting your items from a trusted site, one
that gives options for refunds in case of breach of agreement.
Some sites like ebay have a screening method for their buyers. They
want everyone to "buy safely" which is why they rank they post buyer
feedback and comments about the person or store you are purchasing from.
They also have a paypal buyer protection option posted on their site.
While nothing will ever beat having all your wedding materials
specially designed for you, unless you are so rich that money is no object, it
is best to be a little bit practical and find ways to cut corners to
meet your budget. Don't worry, no one ever checks the label of the gowns
to see how much it costs. The important aspect is your happiness and
satisfaction with your relationship and marriage.
