How To Avoid Wedding Bell Blues

June is the second most popular month for weddings. So many brides who are getting married this month, have already planned their big event far in advance, while others are just getting started. One famous designer outlet, sells beautiful, designer gowns at a fraction of their original cost. The only hitch is that you have to be prepared to run a marathon in order to beat your opponents to the most coveted styles. These soon-to-be brides don't even bother trying on the dresses in fitting rooms. They strip in the aisles and try on gowns with their bridal parties guarding their spoils and advising on choices. These girls are wise to try to save pennies where possible. Weddings now can run well over $50,000 and with long-terms goals of young couples including saving for a down payment on a house and having children, saving on a one-time event is the smart thing to do. Another way brides can save on their special day is with flowers. Rather than go with intricate bouquets that can run into the hundreds of dollars, why not think outside the box and add some pizzaz to your wedding party, while saving dollars. Easy to obtain flowers that are in season, are generally your best bets and at dot flowers you can get some gorgeous blooms that won't break your budget. How about some gorgeous calla lillies? These funnel-shaped long-stemmed flowers, which are most available from March through June, make a dramatic statement for both brides and bridesmaids. They are generally six to nine inches in length and one stem adorned with ribbon can be a wonderful diversion from the traditional bouquet. Other flowers that are also readily available are dendrobium orchids. These six-pedaled blooms are least expensive during April through August and come in a variety of colors, great for bridal bouquets or floral centerpieces. Also beautiful for a summer wedding are dahlias and daisies, both readily available this time of year. Whatever you do, let your own personality shine through to make your special day one that is truly unique!
