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.
