Planning a Wedding

Thing No. 6

Bargain shop for that gown.

We know this whole wedding gown thing is a deep, psychological issue with the ability to turn an otherwise sensible woman into someone resembling Lil’ Bo Peep whining “it’s my day!” for weeks on end.  There are so many ways to get a wedding gown (and bridesmaid dresses) for a fraction of the full retail cost, it’s beyond irrational to dump a fortune into this article that will be worn for 6 hours.  Check out House of Brides for one. 

Thing No. 7

Try to buy between Thanksgiving and Christmas

Wedding dress boutiques are full-up up on dresses for the New Year Rush but no one buys till after they get engaged (usually over the holidays). It's also the best time to drive a hard bargain.
