OK, so I was talking to a friend the other day and we agreed that the "worst" expense you love to expense in a wedding is the dress... she argued that David's is full of cheap material and that her natural material dress was way more comfortable than the one she almost bought at David's, and though I have no doubt that she's correct (I only tried on dresses at David's because they had THE DRESS) I also wonder why it really matters... To be perfectly honest, there's nothing to say that as long as you're within your budget you can't have a reception dress to follow up the picturesque one you use for the ceremony and pictures! As much as I adored MY dress, I almost wished I'd had a reception one!
So, here at AEA, we're going to start Markdown Mondays-- I say we, and I mean I. I will look through some of the major retailers for wedding dresses around Atlanta and on the internet and bring you the best deals your wedding dollars can buy and maybe even a few reception dresses to boot! Markdown Mondays sounds cheap and cheesy, but I'm hoping you'll enjoy it!
Now, of course, everyone seems to think that you "get what you pay for" when it comes to clothing, and I'm generally among that crowd, however if what you "get" is a dress that looks pretty on you, looks pretty in the pictures, and doesn't fail after 8 hours... I'd say that's about what you want in a wedding dress!
