Planning a Bargain Wedding

Planning your wedding can be the most expensive and stressful time for
both the bride and the groom. But with a little bit of time patience
and hope you can have the wedding of your dreams for a fraction of the
price.

Your Gown (Gowns on offer)

Many Local and International sellers are willing to part with the most
beautiful brand new gowns for 70% below the retail price. Try to limit
your search to exactly what you want, for example size 12 and white, so
you don't have to browse through any unwanted items.

If you are prepared to go with a second hand gown, many local girls
have listed their worn once and freshly drycleaned gowns. For these I
highly recommend you try them on first and inspect before you bid to
avoid any disappointment.

Watch out for your country's importing laws as sometimes you might have to pay a tax to customs.

Your Accessories (So many!)

A wide rande of tiaras, hoops, underwear, necklaces, bracelets,
watches, shoes, garters, dilly bags and anything else you might need is
right here on Ebay.

Buying many items from the one seller can certainly attract a discount
if you ask for one. Do not be afraid to ask a seller exactly what you
are thinking. The worst they can say is NO.

Your Bridesmaids/ Flowergirls (so many pretty colours)

There are plenty of sellers who have gowns which were used for in shop
try ons and have really tiny flaws which are priced under half the
retail price. This is great for one or two bridesmaids.

Many sellers discount for bulk purchases or list three or more of the
same gown in certain sizes for a discounted price. Patience and hunting
will allow you to get your desired colour and sizes.

Hens night items and games are available for a resonable price also.
Hunt around for items you are too afraid to purchase in a shop, such as
strangely shaped chocolates.

Think about the recent fashion of not having your bridesmaids all wear
the same dress. The same colour will add a sense of unity to the
bridesmaids and a different style of dress will cater to their
different body shapes. Cocktail dresses are cheaper than ballgowns and
make the wedding a fun, relaxed, casual theme.

Also, think about second hand gowns and shoes, this will save over
