Weddingbee boards

Planning a wedding on a budget can be super stressful, but it can definitely be a lot of fun when you find great deals! I made a goal to purchase all of my wedding accessories for under $100 (hair comb/headband, earrings, shoes, and bracelet).

First up is my dress from PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com. (I've shown it here before but I don't think I used these pics):

My accessories that I got for $65! (See below for details):

Shoes:

At first, I wanted some fabulous purple heels, but I didn't want the color to compete with the beading on my dress. So I stalked far and wide (thank you, Shopstyle.com!) for a great pair of Ivory high heels (4+ inches) for under $80. I had been looking at this pair for months, but there was always something...off about them. But I'm so happy I took the plunge! They look so much better in person and are actually not that uncomfortable.

Earrings:

Got from my local department store called Belk. They were on a clearance rack for 50% off and ended up being $13!!! The brand is called New Directions. Perhaps you can find them in a store near you!

And finally, my bracelet:

I had been stalking those pretty, rhinestone and crystal cuff bracelets on Etsy and beyond for months but didn't want to spend more than $40. Luckily, I found a beautiful one on Ebay for $17!

Here is a stock photo:

And me wearing it:

I was soooo surprised at the quality for under $20! They also carry hair combs, earrings, and necklaces. Here is the seller info if you are interested: http://myworld.ebay.com/faship/?_trksid=p4340.l2559

So this brings my entire wedding outfit to:

DRESS $350 + $18 shipping + BRACELET $17 + SHOES $35 + EARRINGS $13 = $433!

Thanks for reading!

Thanks, ladies!!! :D

Pretty!!!!

There are soo many deals.  And you've proven that w/ patience and mastering the internet, you'll find some great deals.(I love Shopstyle.com as well.)  I'm still stalking my wedding babels but luckily my sis is in NYC so she'll pick them up for me on sale.

Congrats on your pending nupitals:)

@noritake22: That means a lot coming from the Queen of DIY! lol

@Oribel013690: LOL!

@squeak35: Thank you so much! Shopstyle is amazing!!! And although I only found my shoes through there, they've been incredibly helpful on this savings journey!

All of them are beautiful! Yay for saving money!!

@SoonToBeeMrsD: Aww! Thanks!

@Heatherloveskenny: YAY! Saving money is the best. You know next to actually having money! lol

Your dress is beautiful! Your accessories are going to look great with it. Congrats on finding such great deals! 

@Golden139: Thanks :)

Hooray!  You're going to look beautiful!

The bracelet picture is stunning.  It looks far, far more expensive!  Congrats!  :)

I've been looking for some eBay sellers for accessories, I will have to check out the link! All of the accessories look gorgeous! I agree with the PP they look more expensive than they really were. Great deals!

Thanks, ladies! I love Etsy, but Ebay is such a great resource for finding inexpensive items. I'm so glad that I decided to take a chance instead of buying the first cute things I found.

I love it all! I have bookmarked those shoes for when I start getting to ready to buy mine. Great find. And I love your dress, I can't believe you paid $350!

Thanks ladies :)
