The second you added "wedding" or "bridal" to the front or tail end of an item, the price doubled. At least. White wedding shoes? $100 or more at a bridal store. Plain white shoes? Can be found on sale at DSW for around $25.<br /><br />That said, hubs and I did have a larger, more expensive wedding. But we also did some cutting back. It became clear when we started planning the really small wedding that we initially wanted that my parents (who were paying) wanted certain things a certain way, hubs and I wanted things a certain way, and that in order to keep everyone happy, some compromises had to be made. One of them, I found, was giving in to other people's expectations (unfortunately). And that can be pricey :/Suburban Style Challengehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979619656946708224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6684438489684900452.post-19588203784018324112012-08-24T09:46:58.428-07:002012-08-24T09:46:58.428-07:00We got married 25 years ago in a registry office w...We got married 25 years ago in a registry office with 2 witnesses and thats it.Ive never regretted not having a big wedding.All that cost for one day.We never even had a honeymoon.Its our life together that holds the memories.mitch1066https://www.blogger.com/profile/01005849905289388643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6684438489684900452.post-88760174438413875562012-08-24T04:40:09.321-07:002012-08-24T04:40:09.321-07:00I had a very small wedding.

The whole thing including 3 bridemaids dresses, page boy suit my dress and husbands suit cost £600.
