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.
