We are currently living in tough economical times and times are definitely changing. The recession has hit many people hard and now people are cutting back on more and more things.Weddings all around have been scaled back. Gaudy and ostentatious weddings are out!

Brides-to-be are scouring magazines and the web looking for great wedding favor ideas. After wedding favors, brides-to-be also go looking for unique wedding invitation ideas.

Personalized, handmade and artsy wedding favors are very popular nowadays. More and more brides are looking for ways to lower their wedding expenses and going DIY can not only save money but it can also add a nice personal touch to one of the most important day of your life.

The most popular of do-it-yourself wedding favors are wedding candles. You can even make them yourself by using cheap kits, however what many people like to do is buy cheap ones and then simply decorate them.

It is not hard to make the candles yourself however; it can get quite messy and time consuming. You can easily buy many cheap ones for less then a dollar, then add ribbons, and tag notes to them to give them the special personalized effect that is so important. If the wedding has a particular color theme then you can easily buy them in different sizes of that particular color.

Similar to making personalized candles is also making soaps. This can easily be made at home and can be quite a fun exercise too. You will normally need soap chips, essential oils along with colorants and a molder for the shape.

Some people like to take ready made soap and simply melt it down and pour into the molder along with a fragrance of their choosing. A nice little trick is to use a specially shaped cookie cutter to create different shapes and effects.

Personalized weddings are the ones that guests will talk about for years to come. They are the unforgettable ones!

Used Wedding Dresses Deciding to choose a used wedding dress is not as far fetched an idea as you may think. The majority of used wedding dresses are used only once and kept in immaculate condition. This is an excellent way to save money especially when you are working with a limited budget.

If you are unable to shell out a lot of money for your wedding dress, you are not alone. I saved a lot of money on my dress by buying something that was deeply discounted because it was a year off-season. If you can’t find something you like this way, then you might want to consider looking at used wedding dresses.

Thank You Notes Before you dismiss the idea, remember that many women do this when they use their mother’s or their grandmother’s wedding dress for their wedding day. Perhaps, getting a stranger’s dress is not the same thing, but the principle is the same.

The fantastic thing about used wedding dresses is that they have in most cases only been used once. Most people wear them for their wedding day and they are then cleaned and put away, or sold. Some used wedding dresses are sometimes brand new and in excellent condition.

Has your daughter been asked to be a flower girl in your best friend’s wedding? Does the thought of your little one being in a wedding excite you or are you worried about finding an affordable flower girl dress?

Why don’t you shop online and browse through the huge selection of flower girl dresses and find the perfect one for your child to wear. You’ll probably be shocked when you see all the beautiful dresses you have to choose from and they’re all at a price you can actually afford.
