CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., July 7 /PRNewswire/ — Are you, or someone you know, planning a dream wedding without the fairy tale budget? In today’s economic climate, spending plans are shifting, as couples grapple with rising costs that are going well beyond the gas pump. In fact, 2 in 5 brides-to-be (40%) agree that putting money toward a down payment on a house will be their highest priority when making purchases before the wedding.

David’s Bridal offers both a fashionable and affordable solution with its stock of gorgeous, high quality gowns (sizes 0-30W), priced from $299-$1200, which are perfect for the 65% of brides-to-be citing expensive bridal gowns as the biggest concern when buying their dress.
