Four New Ways to Save For Your Wedding Day!

ATLANTA, July 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Budget, budget, budget is the mantra of most brides these days, so much so, many are turning to online methods to snag the dress of their dreams or even a super-discounted honeymoon. Until recently, most couples were forced to cut corners and omit many of their favorite elements just to break even, but as new discounted websites and social media opportunities emerge, so do new ways to save.

Get Married recently broke down the top four categories and polled our Facebook fans to get their feedback on what online wedding budget tricks they're using to make their dream day a reality:

1. Pick the Right Promo Codes - Promo code sites offer savings up to 50% off from many wedding registry favorites like Macys and Amazon.com (must-have items often include accessories, luggage, designer cosmetics, etc.).

2. Find Local Deals and Steals - Signing up for local daily discount sites like Groupon.com can equal amazing one-time wedding deals if you're willing to do a little digging. From one-hour $99 photo packages (great from your engagement sitting) to severe discounts on hair, make-up, and salon and spa treatments, you and your entire bridal party can score big.

3. Enter Online Contests and Sweepstakes - THOUSANDS of contests are posted online daily on sweepstakes blogs and websites. Big-ticket items like cars, furniture, and exotic honeymoon destinations are a mainstay AND just the tip of the iceberg.

4. Meet Other Brides Online - Looking for some cool lanterns for your ceremony or a 100 tea lights for your reception? Instead of spending a fortune, seek out other brides online to buy and trade with. Sites like Meetup.com offer numerous bridal groups and organizations designed to help you meet AND network with the right people in your area.
