New money-saving wedding dress trend

(WPRI) ? A wedding is one of the most special days in a person life, but it can also be one of the most expensive, especially when it comes to the wedding dress.

Finding the dream dress with every detail can add up to thousands of dollars, but the latest trend is turning old creations into something new.

Amber is a bride to be that needs to find the perfect dress, but what Amber wants can't be found in any store.

?I had always had the idea that I would like to have fun with my mom?s... It?s traditional but now its like what you can turn it into,? she said.

Amber and her fianc? Mark are getting ready for a summer wedding and her mother?s dress, which she wore more than 20 years ago, is outdated.

?I want to make it mine that day too. I want to feel as gorgeous that day as my mom did when she wore it but just without the big poofy sleeves and we?ve come to that agreement,? she said.

Updating old wedding gowns into new custom made one-of-a-kind dresses is Bonita Sanders? specialty.

?When people realized that they could have whatever they wanted for the day of their dream in their dress, they can help design and create their dress. It means so much more to them than just going to a cookie cutter store where they could buy the same dress that the girl down the street could buy,? said Bonita.

Bonita used the original fabric, beading, and lace from Amber?s mother?s dress to create a modern 1950s inspired wedding dress that will cost less than $500.

Amber is excited that her special day with have more sentimental value.

?I?ve always been amazed how my mom?s kept it together as long as she has and so it?s one day I kind of get to mimic my mother,? she said.

Make sure if you are planning on using your mother?s or grandmother?s gown it was preserved properly, if not, you could be in for a disappointment.
