for the effects of the photos, i try to give them a smae uniform look... its gonna be a present for them as well thanking them for being my bridesmaid..i wil buy complimenting earrings n some other stuff in make it to like a gtoodie big wrapped in a nice box..
coz at my frn's wedding.. we were told to wear babyblue... but not many of us ve that colour...so end up pple wearing dark blue, pale blue, turquiose blue, marine blue, navy blue etc..
some wore white with a blue sash, some wore black top with blue pants... its all in a mess!
blue is just not blue itself..it comes in varied shades! n it comes in top, pants, skirt, dress etc
so if no one mentions, u wun even realise they all wearing blue!
that when i decided to get all of them wearing identical stuff...
my priorty is to save $$$ too!
but if spending that addtional $400-$500 on my brdiemaids makes the wedding looks nice n special, i will go ahead.
n i will spend less n do things D-I-Y to save $$$ like just using the hotel's wedding favours(maybe redocate the choclates or sth) DIY yr own silk flower bouquet n cancel it from the florist package for photography.. but simple weddig shoes...(they dun ve to be diamond studded! n they will hook n tear yr silk ballgown! n on one will notice yr shoes anyway!) i wil wear my pre-owned shoes or even borrow from a frn)
u can also squeeze yr BS or hotel for more freebies to cut cost!!!
actually it all voice down to yr priorities...
for mine was to have 20 close frns beside us, having a good time n sharing our joy...
having to top up for more flowers at the hotel venue is secondary.
