“My favorite accessory was my bridal headpiece. The earrings I purchased for the wedding did not arrive in time, but I didn’t feel underdressed with the more simple earrings I had on hand because my headpiece was so large and sparkly.” GET THE LOOK

“I knew dresses could make up a large part of a wedding’s budget, but I preferred to save the money for florals or decor. I said yes to a dress from Poshmark, which originally retailed for $2,000. The only alteration I needed to add was a corset back, which cost $60. Since I had saved so much in buying a preloved dress, I also purchased a second reception dress from David’s Bridal.”
