The economy on everyone's minds these days, but for many brides-to-be the cost of her wedding will not be effected.  At a Bridal Expo in Illinois this weekend parents were happy to state just how little an effect the economic downturn would have on their wedding plans.

Is our economy's downturn effecting your plans?

We're dedicated to making your day exactly as you dreamed it would be, even if we're in a bit of an economic recession.

Check out this article from the Washington Post (published way back in July before things got really bad) on ways to save money while still having an amazing wedding.

But you don't have to look far for great advice.  Check our Advice page on OurWeddingDay.com.  There you'll find articles which help you make the most of your wedding fund (The Budget Crisis!), planning your financial future (The Game Of Life), finding gorgeous wedding flowers on a tight budget (Pruning Costs), and lots and lots more.  A rather "generous" selection, really!

And since every wedding is unique, and at OurWeddingDay.com every bride receives personal attention, visit our BrideLine page and live-chat with a real wedding planning expert, or email Megan at megan@ourweddingday.com.

Recession schmession, right?

What are they?

• They have never been heated or cut and appear in their natural state


• They cost a lot less than a traditional diamond


• The shape and look is unconventional without being "too modern"


• They're a great conversation piece
