Brides Cutting Back Budgets, Not Style in 2009

David’s Bridal recently released the results of their ‘What’s on Brides’ Minds’ Survey which shows the impact of the economy on 2009 weddings.  According to the annual “What’s on Brides’ Minds” survey, conducted by Infosurv, Inc. for David’s Bridal – three-quarters (75%) of brides-to-be admit that they will have to make adjustments to their wedding budget as a result of the economic climate. With Valentine’s Day proposals right around the corner, brides-to-be shouldn’t be afraid to take the plunge because of economic worries.  Even though brides report they plan to spend less in 2009, shopping for retailers offering discounts and promotions can still give you a dream wedding with great style without breaking the bank.

‘What’s on Brides’ Minds’ also showed almost half of brides surveyed were willing to adjust their number of guests and adjust their wedding menus to save but wouldn’t compromise on their wedding bands or wedding dress. David’s Bridal has always offered wedding gowns and special occasion dresses at a value to brides and they just put out these valuable tips as well to help them plan without going over budget in 2009:
