Must get book!!! - Bridal Bargins (debuted on Oprah)


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Everyone on here as been so nice sharing their tips and tricks I thought I should post on here about a book I am reading called Bridal Bargains by Denise and Alan Fields. This book got popular quick when the Oprah show picked it up.

 

The book basically tells all the things the bridal industry does to separate brides from their money. Some of thing things I have read in here blow my mind! One of the recurring topics is the "Bridal Markup" and how just by saying wedding, business will bump up their prices.

 

It talks about the tricks bridal stores plays when you are dress shopping/buying and how to get your dress at a HUGE discount. They also talk about flowers and how to get them at much lower prices. How to bargain with different vendors... Ok so the list could go on and on since the book has 450 pages and it deals with everything from flowers, to dresses, to venues.

 

I hope this helps everyone. The book was the BEST $15 I have ever spent. Carla :)

It doesn't surprise me that there is a huge markup on anything that is wedding related. Why not if they can get away with it, right? And people wonder why it is soooooo expensive to get married now a days. It is crazy. Thanks for sharing the info on the book. There will be a lot of people that can hopefully benefit from it.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
