Bridesmaid Dresses

Tips for Saving Money on Bridesmaid Dresses
  • Look at non-traditional stores. I found my bridesmaid dresses in the juniors department at Nordstrom for $31.90 each!
  • If you do find a sale, make sure you have the right sizes! Spendy alterations can completely negate out a great sale price.
  • Choose a basic dress and customize with accessories! Check out Forever21 for affordable and adorable items for your girls. My plan is to go for a fun and chunky pearl necklace like these!
  • Hit up the sales! Right now is the Nordstrom Half Yearly and the Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual Sales are in full swing. Also, Macy's has coupons in nearly ever Sunday paper with additional savings!
  • Let your girls choose their own! Choose a color and let your ladies shop to fit their budget and figure.

Target Registry

If you haven't registered at Target yet, do it now!

Within a week a week of creating our registry (and adding 20 items) we got mailer inviting us to pick up a $20 Target gift card at the customer service desk. Free money just for telling people what presents to buy us? Amazing. To top it off when I went into Target to pick up the gift card, they gave us this adorable little registry packet that included a $20 Shutterfly gift card! We are going to use this for our engagement photos and it will double as the guestbook at our wedding!

Gotta love free stuff!
