Bargain, Bargain, Bargain - SCORE!

So, I love to find a bargain regardless of where I am - Target, Bloomingdales and even the gas station. But, this past month has been crazy finding bargains for my three boys heading back to school. One likes the skater look, one goes for the jock wear and my littlest one - well, let's just say I like anything but white. But what I do love in white is wedding gowns. Did you know that as a planners we can find so many deals on wedding gowns and you don't have to look any further than that pricey bridal boutique. Just like your local department store changes fashions according to the seasons, bridal salons so the same. The best way to get a deal, or even a steal, is to shop the boutique during their trunk show. This is where the salon will highlight a certain designers next seasons gowns. But, here is the thing, you are getting married in the fall and they are showing the summer collection. Not to worry though! Some salons will allow you to purchase that designers fall collection during the summer show at the same discount! Many salons have that last season gown already discounted to make space for the new collection - that equals double discount!! One bride was looking for a specific Maggie Sottero gown and we were able to make sure that gown was delivered to the trunk show store so she could try it on. Of course she loved it. Yes, it was last season, yes it was discounted, yes she saved over $700. Not that I need to say more but p.s. honeys - thats $100 short of paying for your Month of Coordination with The Rare Affair! Bonus!! Now, lets see what we can do about those snazzy linens you were contemplating....
