$25 dollar wedding dress.. cheap wedding planning in Misadventures of West Virginia Woman

I think it is ridiculous the money people spend on weddings. I am engaged but there is something about saving money that delights me! I would go into places to try on bride dresses for them to try to tell me I should pay thousands for a dress I will only wear once. I caught myself wondering how damn dumb do they think I am?

I started looking around trying to find best deal. Where I am a curvy girl dresses are hard to find. At Goodwill I saw a wedding dress that was donated. The bottom of the Hem was dirty from the dress being worn outside. I tried it on. It is tight on the arms. It has very intricate detail on the chest of the dress. It has white bridal buttons down the back of the dress. It has a 6 feet long trail. I thought it was pretty but figured the price was probably going to be high. I bought a wedding dress for $25 before tax. I know it needs cleaned and maybe altered but for that price I am willing to find out! I just saved thousands.

Since I am the untraditional bride I talked to my fiance had him look at the dress. He asked me if we can’t get the stain out of the Hem if the skirt can we tie dye it. He knows I love tie dye. He knows I haven’t chose the wedding colors yet. A rainbow wedding would delight me! While I wore it my cat Ziggy was playing on my skirt leaving tiny paw prints.. I wasn’t even mad. It needs cleaned anyway.

I am debating on doing YouTube videos on my misadventures on preparing for the wedding. I hope I can help save other brides money too!
