Happy Monday Budget Brides!!!
As many of you may or may not know I am moonlighting as a Wedding Dress Consultant at a bridal shop in NYC. I really love this position as it gives me an opportunity to have some real initmate time with brides. Well this Saturday I had the pleasure of helping a bride named Ramona who for unforseen circumstances has to get married in a hurry. Usually when brides come in at the last minute (Ramona's wedding is on Tuesday, November 2nd) they have a very limited budget (under $300). So Ramona, her fiance and myself went through the racks to find the perfect dress under $400. Together we picked about 6 or 7 dresses within her price range and headed to the dressing room. As Ramona hopped in and out of the dresses I could tell that none of them were really THE DRESS. So I went and pull another dress that was right up her alley and she LOVED it. Now it was time to finish the look. Since her budget was really small I showed Ramona our blushers to use in the place of a veil and a nice pearl earring and necklace set for her jewelry. Then out of nowhere she said I need my something blue. I was a little taken a back since the couple was from Romania and committed to doing a justice of peace ceremony with just the two of them.
Below is a picture of the dress that Ramona fell in love with.
Ramona's Dress $249 So I recommended that she purchase a little hankie that was baby blue and pin it to the inside of her dress. However, on my way home I began to think about what something blues can a bride get in a short time and at a good price.
Below are a few items that I found from various online retailers that would go perfect with her dress.
Ramona's Dress $249 
Fantasy Jewelry Box Adeline's Vintage Style Statement Necklaces $63.95

I bought my dress 9 months before my wedding but I haven't thought about what I am going to do for my something blue yet!
I am not really a "blue" person so it'll be hard for me to find something but hopefully I'll know it when I see it ;)
How awesome that you were able to help her! I'm seriously thinking about trying to moonlight as a consultant, too, especially since I may unfortunately lose my current day job after these crazy elections tomorrow. Love your something blue picks, too!
This post BLUE me away! Adding a beautiful bold accessory for the "something blue" is a fabulous idea. It proves the bride to be daring and trendy. LOVE the idea, almost as much as those shoes! :)
