News Flash: The economy's not doing so hot.  

While the memories from your wedding day should last a lifetime, the bill shouldn't.  Now if you have the means and desire to throw a week-long celebration in Bali with 500 of your closest family and friends, I'm not going to stop you!  However, if you are like many Americans, living paycheck-to-paycheck, there's no reason to let your big day leave you in big debt.  With this in mind, I scoured the web to find the following "look for less."  

Check it out:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Left: Claire Pettibone gown: $2,700.  Right: Mary L Couture gown from Nordstrom: $122.90

 

 

 

 

 

Left: Tiffany pearl earrings: $150.  Right: Pearl earrings from Overstock: $34.19

 

 

 

Left: Christian Louboutins: $795.  Right: Peep-toed pumps from Aldo: $59.98.  

Total designer look: $3,645.00.  Look for less: $217.07

That's a savings of over $3,400.  Methinks you could plan a pretty rockin' honeymoon with that!
