Congrats on your engagement! At such an exciting time in your life and a day you have been dreaming about for years, your happy thoughts and extravagant wedding dreams are interrupted by dollar signs. Between venues, your large family guest list, and the variety of other expenses, weddings tend to become pretty expensive pretty fast. According to The Knot, the average cost of a wedding in New Jersey is $53,400. But don’t worry, there are so many ways to drop that final bill while still having the celebration of your life just the way you pictured it! Here are just a few tips to help…
First, try to cut down your guest list as much as possible. Yes, I know… the more people, the bigger the party. But you’ve all heard the saying “less is more” and cutting down on just a few people can allocate the money to a different aspect of your wedding day (or even your bridal gown or honeymoon!). Second, go into the planning with a budget and look for venues that accommodate to that number. Venues usually account for about half of your wedding expenses so why not use the resources you have to alleviate that cost. Ask a family member or friend if you can use their backyard or rent a vacation home in the area with outdoor space! You just have to find the right spot for you and your partner. One more tip for you, ladies… DIY. Décor, invitations, favors, and flowers. The list goes on and on with the endless possibilities for ‘do it yourself’.
The last piece of advice we can offer is that the one thing from your wedding that will always be remembered by you, family and guests is your glowing beauty in your wedding gown. Your wedding will be one for the books. Literally. Those pictures you have will last a lifetime and you want to find that bridal dress that will excite you just as much on your 40-year anniversary as it did on your big day. Just these few ideas can help make your budget a little friendlier while still making your wedding day unforgettable!

Bringing Sexy Back! : Backless Brides
Trend: Portrait Backs
Backless…is back.
One of the past trends of the bridal industry to make a comeback into Spring 2013. But this time, they come back with a more modest and romantic attention using delicate embroideries, lace frames, and peek-a-boo keyholes. Sheer backs with decorative detailing is simultaneously sexy and demure.
Angle Admirer!
Compared to a more two-dimensional dress, this gown goes out-of-the-box to producing a 3d effect! This type of gown allows your audience to admire you from every angle.
If you think about it, most of your guests will be viewing you from behind as you walk down the aisle and make your vows. So that’s pretty much your entire wedding ceremony that they are looking at the backside of you!
Timeless Twists
Trend: Lace Nouveau
We saw the Lace trend globally advertised when Kate Middleton wore it on her wedding day. Her royal wedding gown proved its’ influence after almost every collection showed variations on lace this season.
Lace identifies us with the past…before we were pushed into the technology-driven and reliant society we live in today. Lace is a timeless classic…giving fabric the ethereal, dreamy, take me back to good-ole-days vibe. Vintage inspired laced sleeves is a feminine touch to any gown.
Step into the time machine and time warp back into a world where it taught us that simplicity is pure elegance. Nostalgic woven pieces speak sophistication….simple as it should be.
Comfort Chameleons
Trend: Transformers
Do you really want to be dancing around in your reception ballroom in your beautiful bridal gown you wore when you walked down the aisle? More often seen nowadays are the brides changing into a second dress for the reception. Convertible and/or reversible dresses, or ones with removable pieces (skirts, trains, capes, veils, etc.) create a distinct reception look. Designers are now custom-making gowns fit for comfort, as more and more women are calling for a desire to break-free and the ability to move and run around later in night at their receptions.
