I lived at Dollar Tree when I was a teacher, so you bet my wedding on a budget had decor from materials I got from there. Seriously though, check out Pinterest and head to dollar tree, there are so many decorative and practical items you can make fro...

I know David's Bridal is a chain, and more modern brides are looking in Boutiques, but don't count them out just yet. My wedding dress was originally $2,000 and I get it for $500 on sale. There are always sales going on at these stores and you can fi...
