Weddings may not be as inevitable as death and taxes, but they’re usually fairly impervious to slumps in the economy.
“People are never going to stop getting married,” says Keri Chantler, who co-owns Twirl Boutique in Scottsdale with Jenni Hailer. But lately Chantler has seen a surprising number of bridesmaids asking for cheaper gowns - a new phenomenon for her high-end boutique.
“People are shopping cautiously,” says Chantler, 36. “In a stable industry like ours, budget-conscious bridesmaids are a true sign that the economy is undergoing changes.”

This reminds me of my high school prom. Everyone worried about dresses that cost $100 and up. I bought a nice looking $25 dress from a local clothing store.
In short, a nice dress doesn’t need to cost a lot. I’m glad to see some women are looking for something lower in cost, yet looks just as nice, for their big day.

Yes I agree, if you want to have a nice dress it doesn’t mean that it will cost u a lot.. If you were to be patient enough in looking for it, there’s a lot cheaper out there.
