Budget-friendly Wedding Wear

How wonderful it is that modern weddings have shed so many wedding wear traditions. Bridesmaids and groomsmen have so many options other than spending a couple hundred dollars on never-to-be-seen-again dresses and rented tuxedos.

For those who are willing to take some risks, there are elegant alternatives to the typical bridal party wear. Bridesmaids can find some incredibly gorgeous dresses off the rack at department stores. Rather than selecting a universal dress for all of her attendants, brides can suggest her girls wear their favorite dresses in coordinating colors.

The bride can forgo the expensive designer gowns and purchase off the rack or even previously-owned gowns that may have originally cost hundreds. And don't forget the bridal accessories! Shoes, jewelry, hairpieces and handbags can all be borrowed, saving a lot of money.

Most men already own a simple black or tan suit, they can simply purchase shirts and ties to coordinate and wear their own comfortable shoes!

Now more than ever, people are really making their wedding day about them -- not what other people or tradition say their wedding day should be like! Straying from the norm with wedding wear can prove to be budget friendly and fashion forward!
