The Budget Guru recently had a conversation with Mara Urshel, co-owner of Kleinfeld and star of "Say Yes to the Dress." We spoke about dress shopping and your big bad budget--who would be savvier about this topic than Mara? Check our May 2011 issue for her tips from the shopping trenches.
Meanwhile, I wanted to share with you an interesting tidbit. When I asked Mara how brides have changed over the last 10 years, she said, "The main thing is that brides are smarter about money now. Many have been to school and have professions and they're more practical about life in general. Ten years ago, we had a lot of young brides coming in with their parents who were paying for the dress. Now that is much less the case. Brides and older and savvier, and most understand that they don't necessarily have to have the most expensive dress."
There's nothing better than a money-smart bride!
