ok so I've been looking for a lace bolero to go with my dress. And up until last Tuesday I thought it was going to cost me somewhere in the range of $200-$400!!! I was depressed by this notion because my dress came in under budget and under budget is where I want to stay!
Last Tuesday Ryan and I were at The Paper Poet picking up our invite materials FINALLY, and I decided to pop in to a store I had been in several months ago. They have new and consignment items and great customer service. I asked a few questions about the bolero situation. Showed the nice woman helping me my dress. Looked at some lace samples....by the end of our brief meeting I was told I should definitely not have to pay more than $100 for what I want. And $100 is the max!!.............The trick here is getting it directly from the factory that makes it. You save a TON of the cost!
SO BRIDES....if there is something you can get from the factory that makes it instead of going through a designer, or even a store that goes through the designer, DO IT. All you have to do is ask a few more questions and cut out the middle man!
Even the place I got my wedding dress was wanting me to pay $200 to bring in the bolero and then another $100 or so for the alterations I want made. BUT now I am going to have exactly what I want for half the cost. YAY
This wedding stuff is tricky to navigate but it is possible!
