Just Plain Cool Affordable Stuff!

Just cool AFFORDABLE stuff!

As you guys know I'm always trying to save moola.

With all the wedding junk out there whats a gal to

do if she does not want to go shop happy?

How will she know whats really a value and whats , well, junk?

I'm here to help with my hit list!

Here goes everything:

1. TARGET: Why Tarjay, Darling?

Cus there is a cool guy named Isaac Mizrahi who has wedding dresses for under $200. Not feeling his gear...no worries, Target also has veils for 19.99 (in the wedding world they could be priced $50 to $1500), bridesmaid dresses for $39.99 ( treat your girls right, they will love for it) and finally a really cute flower girl dresses ($39.99) .

2. Coco Myles: Why? Cus I love hot coco...enuff said. Her custom dress are well awesome. Bridesmaids who have nothing in common other than their love for the bride can customize their dresses. A bit busty? Got a whole lot of hips? Not a problem for Coco Myles! Are you just a bride who cant send four hundred on a dress? With a choice of satin or charmeuse, Coco has got you and your gals covered at a very reasonable price.

3. ETSY: Why and whats Etsy? Its only the hottest place to buy handmade ( meaning ORIGINAL) goods on the Net. You can ask one of the MILLIONS of boutique owners to make something personally for you. Some even reserve that item so that you can't be copied. Get your rings, garter, flower baskets, veils, invitations even your dress from etsy. PLUS they got a blog about weddings at ETSY called the storque.

4. Dollaritems.com: Am I cheap or what...a dollar store? Am I joking?

Umm... no I'm not. Before you search for another blog. the dollar store is a great place to find craft stuff to decorate your venue. Tealight candles, flower vases, champagne glasses, etc all at wholesale prices!

5. Craiglist: Its everywhere and its one of the best resources a budget bride has. Here you can see whats out there and compare prices. you can also see who is selling stuff you need locally and find the deals you want without a middle man.

6. Costco, BJs, Sams Club and other Warehouse stores: Thank your God or Luck ( whatever you believe in) for the Warehouse store places! Here you can get the stuff you need to cater your wedding, decorate your venue, get flower packages for you wedding party, etc etc and etc. get your stuff in bulk and handle your business ladies!

7. Giant, Food Lion, Safeway, Super Fresh, Harris Teeter, Windixie...Namely your local Grocery store: While its very hard to compete with your local warehouse., your local grocery store can give you one on one attention. need a bouquet customized for less? here's the place to do it. Specific brands and bargains are available.

8. Snapfish.com: Whats snapfish? its the a cool new site for photography! with snapfish you can send in film,order high quality pics, edit your pics, make a photo album for less then $80! sweeeeetttt!

9. Pingg.com: Why Pingg? Cus When The Today Show wanted to throw a wedding for LaDonna and her man Darnell they used this free online and print invitation/event management site to send the word. With tons of free high quality digital images there is no way you cant get a bang for your buck. Who says invites have to be expensive to be chic? Plus, with online invitations you are saving tree! Double yah!

10. Cache and other high fashion stores: Cus you dont have to get a wedding gown from a wedding boutique store. HELLO, FOLKS! You can get your gowns from Anywhere! But if you are a women of high fashion taste you can go to dress stores that are not usually intended for brides. go when there are huge sales!

11. David's Bridal: Great Prices ...enuff said.
