"There&amp;#39;s nary in the world of weddings more inspiring than seeing how savvy real brides&amp;#8212;women *without *celeb-size bank accounts&amp;#8212;pull-off drool-worthy looks. Read on!\nWho says you have to buy the Loubies?\nPinterestFacebookWhen it comes to their wedding day, lots of brides are willing to spend, say, a month&amp;#39;s rent, on a pair of crazy fabulous designer heels.\nBride Emma, however, opted for a pair of sweet sandals from budget-friendly shoe brand Steve Madden. You guys already know I&amp;#39;m a huge fan of flats for brides, and how much fun are these (and such a cute accent to her reconstructed vintage dress)?! The other plus to buying a pair of reasonably priced shoes is it probably makes them less precious i.e. something you&amp;#39;ll actually wear again. It&amp;#39;s hard to justify scuffing up $800 high-heels on the dance floor, after all.\nLet your bridesmaids off the hook\nPinterestFacebookMost likely, your bridesmaids are already spending plenty to attend your wedding (travel, hotel, gift, etc.) so why not find a super-cheap bridesmaid dress. Bride Ashley scooped up these romantic pink flower ones at Charlotte Russe for less than $20 a pop. Nice!\nBring on the DIY stuff\nPinterestFacebookTalk about craftiness: This ingenious bride made her bolero out of crinkled paper! It&amp;#39;s so elegant and pretty, I was shocked it wasn&amp;#39;t silk. What a superbly thrifty way to approach the question of a wedding day cover-up!\nSo, weigh in!
