We’ve featured several articles here at 5k Weddings about affordable wedding dresses, and here’s a new one. I found a website that sells groom wear for a price that beats renting it!

Tuxedos at Light in the Box sell for under $200, and there are great looking suits that sell for just $130. Remember the tuxedo Brad Pitt wore to the 81st Oscar awards? The site is selling a similar suit for just $91.99!

Affordable Bridesmaid Dresses

November 25, 2009 | Author: Leslie, Low Cost Ideas, Ordering Online

Hi there 5k brides!

I wanted to share this website I came across where you can shop for affordable bridesmaid dresses for under $150. Shipping is free to countries like US, Canada, France, etc.

What I like best about the site is that you can send in your bridesmaid’s measurements and they’ll make the dress for you following the measurements you gave at no charge!

The dress usually takes 20 days to make, plus 5-10 days for shipping. If you need it ASAP, the dress can be sent in just 15-18 days. So follow this link and shop for a bridesmaid dress today!

Here’s another tip: Ask your bridesmaid if she’s willing to shoulder part, or even the entire cost of the bridesmaid dress. The dresses are fabulous and I’m certain she’ll find another occasion to wear it to!

Buy Your Wedding Gown Online

October 23, 2009 | Author: Leslie, Ordering Online, Wedding Gowns

In tune with money saving ideas for your wedding, I came across a site called Floras Dress that offers great wedding gowns for an even greater price. Imagine yourself in an a-line strapless taffeta wedding gown with a chapel train for only $125! There are more wedding gowns available depending on the theme of your wedding, and most of the gowns are less than $200!

Of course you shouldn’t just stop there…shop around!  When deciding what dress or merchant be sure your data e.i. credit card info, and other personal information is secure by checking site certificates.  Never deal with someone you have second thoughts about, and be sure that the site isn’t “knockoff dress” or replicas of famous designers.  The quality of fabric and design could vary significantly leaving you to spend even more money in the end.

Ordering a Wedding Gown Online

January 28, 2009 | Author: Sonja, Ordering Online, Wedding Gowns

Ordering a Gown Online

When ordering a gown online there are a couple of things you must first know.  For one, you need to know your measurements and conversions if necessary.  To do this, enlist the aid of a tailor or seamstress but not your best friend or yourself.  Measurements off by a fraction is too much!  This can cause a costly error that you’ll be stuck with.

Second, when ordering a gown online “DO NOT USE YOUR CREDIT CARD!” if you can help it or you have dealt with the vendor before.  Lets face it, your privacy is no laughing matter and there are online vendors with unsafe storage practices and those that don’t even possess a Privacy Policy that details what is being done with any of your information or who/ what has access to it.  I called around and came across a destinations wedding gown distributor with the lowest price for the gown I initially wanted, but as owner and operator he couldn’t tell me how my information was protected when sending it over the Internet.  I asked, “Is it encrypted (SSL)?”  and he simply didn’t know.  Now, it could just be that he isn’t a bit technical, but he then stated that it should be within the Policy; which it was not!  Nonetheless, I went to my bank and got a VISA Gift Card just for such occasions!

The last detail when ordering a gown online, is knowing the time.  This includes but is not limited to: order processing , production , shipping, and delivery.  You need enough time to get alterations if needed, and to make the final decision regarding your gown.  So ladies, you can order a gown online and make out like a bandit with all the online deals out there, but you have to be a wise consumer or else, you’ll blow the honeymoon on your “gowns” instead of gown!

Happy Shopping!
