Oprah Unveils Designer Wedding Dresses for Under $100
Jan 8th, Oprah revealed a handful of famous celebrity designers who have created low-priced lines for various stores. Sarah Jessica Parker started "Bitten", her line of all American Women’s fashions for Steve & Barry's stores.
Isaac Mizrahi has created a line of wedding dresses for Target ranging in price from $89.99 to $159.99 USD. In addition to wedding dresses, there are tons of accessories including: veils and headpieces, gloves, wraps and sashes, bridal intimates and sleepwear, wedding jewelry, shoes, and handbags. And, of course, there is a line for bridesmaids.
After seeing the show, I was totally dumbfounded over the prices.

So That's How She Did It! The $6000 Wedding
25-year-old Tavon Ferguson planned her dream wedding for just under $6,000. She's the ultimate frugal bride who used the internet, and her network of friends and family to get more for less.
Let's break it down:
- She bought her dress (new with tags) from another local bride for $200. Original price at David's was $600.
- She found her shoes on CutseyGirl.com for $29. However, we've scouted it out, and there are pairs anywhere from $9.99 and up. The Satin Pumps below are $18.99. You can search by colour and size. Look for your bridesmaids at the same time in order to make the 16USD for shipping to Canada worth your while.
