Wedding Dress on a Budget

For my daughter's wedding, we had to do it on a budget, in a big church. We found a beautiful dress at a consignment shop, but it needed sleeves.

I found a local affordable seamstress and we had a beautiful finished product, for a fraction of the price of the dress originally.Bride wearing a wedding dress.

Another option is to look on Ebay. I bought 2 brand-new wedding dresses on there. The first one came to a grand total of $55 (yes, I said $55) and the second one was $185.
