As far as I know, this offer is good for Minneapolis wedding dresses in the twin cities area.

You read that headline right. Earlier this year Target began selling designer wedding gowns online that cost you less than a car payment, which is in stark contrast to what most people imagine when thinking of the cost of a wedding dress. Designer Isaac Mizrahi who has been designing an exclusive, affordable line of his apparel for Target for several years now, is the man behind the budget-friendly dresses.

The dresses come in several different cuts, and two shades of white - igglo white, which is a bright white shade, and opal cream, and off-white color. They are cut in a classic, yet modern style. Prices start at just $89.00 and range up to less than $200, depending on the style.

The "Isaac Mizrahi Bridal for Target" collection also features everything else that you'll need for your big day, including shoes, veils, and beautiful accessories. They even have bridesmaid dresses available in a rainbow of colors and cuts, as well as men's formal wear and accessories, and cute dresses and suits for the kids in the wedding party.

If you order your wedding dress from Target, and you don't like it or it doesn't fit, you can return it for a full refund. Any alterations that need to be done you will have to take care of yourself, but that's as easy as looking up a tailor or dressmaker in the phonebook.

So if you're planning a wedding on a budget, or just don't see the need to spend thousands of dollars on a dress, Target might just be the place where you find that perfect wedding gown. And while you're at it, you can pick out outfits for the groom, bridesmades, ring bearer, and flower girl - and still have enough left over for the reception.

Church weddings are chic and traditional in nature, and decorating its corners would mean preserving its serenity and calm. Usual wedding church decorations include laces, pearls, and candles along with fresh and dry flowers. These elements maintain the sanctity of the church and at the same time lend it grace and elegance.

Tips to decorate the church:

* Flower decorations add color and freshness to the church surroundings. Small pocketed bouquets along the sitting arrangement are both delightful and pleasing. The commonly used flowers are tulips, daisies, roses and carnations.
* Pave the way for the couple by decorating the aisle with orchids and lilies.
* Adorn the door of the church with flowers, ribbons and balloons to make it look inviting.
* Prepare wreathes with colorful flowers or maybe to match with the bride’s gown to place on the altar. Silk, dry or fabric flowers can be used for such decoration.
* An alternative to dress the aisle would be to place potted flowers which are pleasing to the eyes and are inexpensive too.
* Pews form an important part of wedding church decorations. Attach bouquets or bows at the end of these pews with rose petals along the pathway for the bride and the groom to tread on.
* Churches usually have high ceilings and should be well lit with chandeliers and draped with streamers, laces and flowers.
* The entrance can also be decorated with pomander balls to look attractive.
* plan around the location of the wedding photographer.

When you have touched the five most important areas of the church that is, the aisle, altar, ceiling, entrance and the center, be assured that you have taken care of everything that is required to cherish this beautiful day forever.

1. Your Wedding, Your Guest List! This one is a tough one. Your families are so excited they want to invite all of their co-workers, their long lost cousins and of course you can't forget the people that invited them to their kid's weddings. You must take control of this guest list, it's your wedding. You may have to tread lightly without hurting mom's feelings, but if you're paying for this bash you should get the final say on the guest list and count. With every person you invite to the reception you have to look at it as a total package of expenses. You will be providing a meal for them, you may to rent the chair their sitting in, the linen that's dressing the table and the centerpiece. Each guest is worth hundreds of dollars in some cases. So if you're looking to save money, start here first.

2. Your Wedding Party. I know these girls have been your friends since kindergarten or since the first day of college, but if you're trying to stick to a particular budget you may want to consider making your wedding party a teeny bit smaller. Just like your guests, your wedding party is also worth hundreds of dollars in some cases. Remember for every person in your party, you will be providing meals (rehearsal dinner, breakfast for the day of the ceremony and reception meal) , flowers, gifts and transportation. Now let me be clear if you must have a 10 bridesmaids because it just won't be a special day without them, that's fine, but you have to remember that every attendant has an expense attached to them. So think about this while setting your budget. With the money you're spending on your huge wedding party you could possibly use it toward something else. Just a thought!

3. Your Cake. I love cake! That is actually one of my favorite parts of the reception! I've seen some gorgeous ones that look just as great as they have tasted. But if you've been perusing through the Martha Stewart Weddings Mag and other bridal mags looking at cakes you must understand that cakes are not cheap. Cake designing takes talent and takes time, which equates to $$$. I know here in Charlotte, wedding cakes start from $2.50 per serving and that's not your Martha Stewart Cake with all of the intricate details. So, here is my suggestion, when meeting with the cake designer really think about how many of your guests are actually going to stay until the cake is cut. Normally the cake is cut at the very end of the night, unless it's being served as the dessert course of your sit-down dinner. So, think about it, is Aunt Sue going to stay until the cake is cut? Two of the weddings I did the summer had so much cake left over, at least enough to serve 50 people. So think about that, at $2.50 a serving the couple really could've saved at least $125!

4. Wedding Favors and Programs. Both are great ideas and they give a very nice touch, but if you're looking to save money somewhere you can definitely save a couple of hundred here easily. Remember, any item you give your guests needs to be useful or edible. Leave a disposable camera at each table and allow guests to become the wedding photographer.

Here are Five Tips to Cut Your Wedding Budget!

1. Dress up only the head table
If you want a fancy look but can't afford to do every table, do only the head table. You can use inexpensive complementary linens, plates and centerpieces at the guest tables, and splurge on a fancy tablecloth and fancy plates for the head table. That's the table that will be photographed the most, and dressing it up a bit more will make it look special without adding huge expense.

2. Pass the champagne
Renting a champagne flute and buying champagne for every guest is expensive, especially when some people won't even drink theirs. Instead of placing a flute at each place setting, have a waiter hand them out at the entrance. Not every guest will take one, saving on rentals and liquor.

3. Cake and coffee buffet
Even if your meal is plated, you can still save money by doing a dessert buffet with the cake and coffee. Again, not every guest will want dessert and coffee, so you can serve a smaller cake. You can use plastic plates and forks instead of china, saving on rental costs. You also won't need to rent a sugar/creamer/carafe for every single table.

4. Use Fancy Linens Sparingly
Expensive table linen rentals can cost as much as $40 per table cloth. To get the same look for less, use a basic table cloth and a fancy table runner - these cost about $5 each to rent.

5. Serve Prosecco Instead of Champagne
Prosecco is a sparkling white wine that runs about half the cost of champagne, but looks just as pretty in the glass.

Special Thanks to Minneapolis Wedding Photographer Duane Schlottke for providing this advice!
