Every time we talk about the various ways you can save money on your wedding, we find ourselves repeating the same notion: There’s a difference between cutting costs and cutting corners. We’re all for sticking to a budget, but, as we always say, you have to be mindful of the thin line that separates a tasteful wedding from a tacky one.
Although we usually mention flowers, decor and paper products as the areas where you can save a few bucks (without it being obvious), your wedding dress certainly fits into that category, too.

Plus, there are plenty of ways to make a low-priced dress look expensive—here are seven simple hacks that’ll definitely do the trick.
