Brides Cutting Costs Not Style

The results of the fourth annual “What’s on Brides’ Minds” survey by David’s Bridal are in and show that because of the current economy, 68% of brides surveyed are planning to spend less on their wedding. However, just because brides are cutting costs doesn’t mean they are sacrificing style.

The survey shows that couples are prioritizing their spending in order to keep within their budgets. Respondents had different ways of saving money on the big day but of the 68% of brides who adjusted their wedding budget, 42% said they would not compromise on their wedding bands and 35% would not compromise on their wedding dress.

Brides surveyed are also using the internet to research do-it-yourself tips and search for ideas and advice from other brides to get maximum impact with minimum spending. A great resource for brides and a go-to source for planning help is DavidsBridal.com. Know of any other great planning websites or budget stretching tips? We want to know about them!
