AMOF
I'm renewing my vows and having my first wedding party . I'm paying for my bridesmaids dresses and the although I have a few issues with dresses my main one is with one of my bridesmaids. I can't seem to find a dress in her size that is in my price range. She is a plus size and happens to be my sister in law. The place I'm looking at for my dresses stops at 8X. I don't know if I should raise my price range to accommodate her but even then there is a chance it still might not fit her while hurting my budget. Should I tell her she can't be a bridesmaid and maybe have her read a passage with a different dress that way I only spend more on her dress instead of all of them and she still gets to participate? Please help.
Answer
Does she already know that you have chosen her as part of the wedding party? If not than I think having her read something would be fine, but if she has already asked, I don't think that the change of plans would go over well. Her are some different options. Depending on how far away your renewal of vows is, you could pick out a material, order in bulk and have all the dresses made, either all the same pattern, or different patterns for each girl, but in the same material. Same option with buying...you could make sure they are all the same color (this is what I did at my wedding and it looked great), but different styles for each girl. Or last but not least, if you want them all too match and you don't have the time to have all the dresses made, buy the ones for the girls that you can find the appropriate sizes for and then find a matching material and have the one dress made for the one you can't find the correct size for.
Best of luck hun! It'll be fine the day of no matter what you do! Congrats on renewing your vows. What an exciting time!

Answer
You could always buy a deb dress instead! No one will know the difference and it won't have the huge price tag! Also try ebay.com or else you could by a pattern and make it yourself!
Other ways of cutting costs without sacrificing too much is to shop around. Shop, shop shop. Its worth the saving. Make your own invitations, get a friend or family member to make your cake, ask one of your bridesmaids to do your hair and make up. Photographers can be expensive so why not buy a few disposible cameras and ask your guests to take your happy snaps? Have a cocktail party (fingerfood) reception or do a buffet. Your family can all pitch in and make a tray or 2 each and it will be lovely. You won't even need a caterer. get married outdoors in a nice park or at the beach. Its free and the atmosphere is beautiful. You will also save money on things like flowers and other decorative pieces because if your out in a garden or something, you won't need them. Seriously you can have a wonderful wedding on a tight budget. The planning will be a little more time consuming but it is so worth it! You just have to be a little bit creative! Best of luck. Hope this helps.
