Bridesmaid dresses can cost upwards of a few hundred dollars and that can be a little much for some people. Although you may not be footing the bill, you should take each bridesmaid’s situation into consideration when you are picking out dresses. One way to do that is to give each bridesmaid a swatch and let them pick out their own dress. That is right. They can go to JC Penny, Sears, a local bridal shop or even their local thrift shop. You would be amazed at how much you can save. This has an added bonus of each bridesmaid being able to pick a dress that fits her body type and her style. Just be sure to take a look at the bridesmaid dresses before the big day so that you are not surprised when one of them comes out wearing a 3 inch miniskirt! If you are worried about uniformity, you can have each bridesmaid wear the same jewelry and shoes in addition to wearing the same color.

Tip: Pick a color which is not obscure so that your bridesmaids won’t have a hard time finding it. For example, a bright neon-green may be a little hard to find.

Renting a tuxedo is inexpensive in comparison to the attire that the bride has to buy. You men can be in for a little surprise, though. Tuxedo rentals can cost just as much as a wedding dress rental if your wife-to-be wants to go the fancy route. If you are trying to save some l dimes, it is better to not even look at the high-end options when searching for a tuxedo to rent no matter what store you go in. Here are a few tips to help you and your groomsmen to walk away laughing at your poor fiance and bridesmaids.

• Comparison shop. It sounds simple, but some people tend to believe that there is not much difference between one store and the next when it comes to renting tuxedos. There is darling. There is. Which brings me to my next tip
• When comparison shopping, if there is a store that you like a little better than the next, and the next one has a cheaper price, tell the first one about it. It is a good chance that they will try to match the price of the second shop.
• Some stores like David’s Bridal are sister stores for shops like After Hours formal wear. You can find special savings for your whole wedding party when all of you shop at these family of stores
• Many stores offer a free tux rental for the groom when 5 or more men are in the wedding party. You can include your father and/or father-in-law to get that extra man, if you need it.

Wedding jewelry can be kept nice, simple an affordable, yet bring about a sense of class and elegance. You don’t have to wear ten pounds of jewelry around your neck. Having too much jewelry on can draw attention away from the beautiful dress that you picked out if you are not careful. A simple necklace, small earrings and a simple bracelet can sometimes look more expensive than big pieces of jewelry if it is of high quality. Personally, I think big pieces of jewelry can sometimes look like costume jewelry. Give yourself enough time to look for discounts on jewelry.

And don’t wait till the last minute to look, because it takes time to coordinate and match your and your bridesmaids attire with jewelry that goes well with it.
