With the economy is such a scary state at the moment it is hard to ask anyone to fork over hundreds of dollars to be a part of your wedding party.  Let’s face it, most of the time your bridesmaid will never wear that beautiful gown again and the tux rental is just that – a rental.  I think we are all feeling the brunt of the economy woes, why not be considerate of your bridal party, when it comes to their expenses.

This fun dress came straight from Amazon and is a steal for only $67.00.  It is also available in several fantastic colors!

Pair it with these dyeable shoes for only $50 any your bridesmaid is now spending less for her dress and shoes than she would on that designer gown at the bridal salon.  And really, who would know she only paid $117 for her dress and shoes?

Instead of a tuxedo rental, why not check out the vintage suits I blogged about last week?

Still cheaper than a tuxedo rental and if you go with a neutral your usher or groomsmen can actually use it again.  How is that for a budget bridal party!
