			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The current recession has forced many brides to slash their wedding budget and cut out some of the more extravagant details from their original wedding plan. The <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/21/fashion/weddings/21FIELD.html" target="_blank">New York Times</a> reports that some brides are relocating to cheaper venues, nixing the wedding cake, asking a shutter-happy friend to replace the photographer, downsizing the bouquets, and slashing the guest list.</p>
<p>The NY Times also mentions a cool website called <a href="http://www.bravobride.com/index.php" target="_blank">Bravo Brides</a>. This is a fantastic forum for brides-to-be who want to save money by purchasing pre-owned stuff, and brides-who-were who want to get some money back on wedding items they no longer need. You can buy or sell anything wedding-related, from designer wedding gowns to groom&#8217;s attire, veils, shoes, jewelry, candles, isle runners, ring pillows, flower girl baskets, place card holders, cake toppers, centerpieces, wedding planning guides, party and shower items, and much more!</p>
