Online Shopping for Today's Bride is More Convenient, Eco-Friendly and Saves on the Budget

Today's bride is on a very tight budget, and for the thousands of Canadian brides that don't live in urban areas, traveling to the city to purchase wedding accessories, favors and reception décor is out of the question with the current cost of gasoline. MyDreamWedding.ca is an online resource for the modern bride that includes articles, resources and one stop wedding ecommerce shopping that is safe, fast and affordable.

Guelph, ON (PRWEB) July 26, 2008 -- More brides across Canada, especially those living outside the big cities, are going to be stricken with pre-wedding cold feet if they are forced to pay outrageous prices for gasoline to travel to Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, Ottawa, Montreal or other larger cities just to shop for unique wedding decorations and bridal accessories. My Dream Wedding is an online bridal ecommerce hub at http://www.mydreamwedding.ca, that offers traditional, unique and sought after wedding supplies and bridal accessories, so the bride can shop safely, economically and comfortably from the comfort of home.

Last week, across Canada, the average price for a litre of gasoline was $1.38 Canadian, which represents an incredible increase of 30 cents over the same week last year. In a recent published report, CIBC World Markets predicts a massive decrease in the number of vehicles on the road in North America by 2012, thanks in large to the spiraling cost of consumer gas. This will fuel the online shopping economy ten fold and is the future of the bridal industry. The report also forecasts that by summer 2010, the price of gas will rise to more than $1.86 a litre; a 70% increase from today's already outrageous pump prices. On a good day that makes everyday living more costly and difficult to make ends meet, but for an engaged couple trying to plan and pay for a wedding, it is doubly challenging.

According to the Association of Bridal Consultants, wedding décor, bridal and wedding party accessories, and the reception affair account for 45.1 % of the total wedding budget. With that much money on the line, and the increased cost of wedding reception venue rental fees and catering costs, it is even more critical to stretch the budget as far as possible without affecting the quality of wedding supplies purchased - no bride should ever have to settle for second best.

Every year in Canada, approximately 150,000 weddings take place. Furthermore, tens of thousands of Canadian engaged couples live in a small town or rural location, and must travel to a major city to shop for wedding favors and bridal accessories in order to seek out and purchase unique theme wedding décor items. Even if a bride is willing to spend the gas money to travel to an urban wedding store, the odds are very small that one store will have everything on the bride's shopping list. The added bonus of shopping online for bridal accessories is the eco-friendly reward; each avoided car trip reduces vehicle emissions.

Frugal couples and environment conscientious brides, looking for quality wedding supplies and unique bridal accessories at the best possible prices, turn to My Dream Wedding every day. A unique ecommerce experience that combines wedding resources with exceptional online shopping. My Dream Wedding offers a myriad of choices for purchasing everything from the engagement party favors and bridal shower luncheon supplies to personalized keepsakes and wedding anniversary gifts.
