Budget Weddings

Given the state of the economy, it’s no surprise that the average cost of weddings in the U.S. has gone down. Although most brides have a budget, many get caught up in the moment and go over – way over. Two years and a salary later, you are still paying for it. Did you really need a $5,000 cake?

Trash the Dress

There’s a trend to trash your wedding gown after your wedding. I have to be honest and say I don’t know why someone would want to do this. After all the time you spent looking for the perfect gown and all the money, why would you want to trash it? Since I promote environmentally-friendly weddings, I encourage brides to donate their gowns or reuse the fabric. Oggi Wedding Photography of Newport, RI, shares my thoughts. Check out the blog and see what other brides have to say.

So are you going to trash your dress? Why or why not?
