BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Everyone likes to save money here and there. And for some, saving money on weddings is more than a hobby, and a little less than an obsession. Laura Gawne, Susan Bain and Roxie Radford who operate the popular money-saving website www.Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com began the annual contest nine years ago based on the popular bridal shower game.

“have a cheap wedding that looks like a million bucks”

The Cheap Chic Weddings 2013 Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest sponsored by Charmin, launches today March 20, 2013 for the ninth year in a row.

The top three dress designs will be showcased at a live event at RK Bridal in New York City on June 6, 2013. The event will feature celebrity judge Kate Pankoke, Owner and Creative Director of Elaya Vaughn Bridal and Season 11 contestant on Project Runway, who will help crown the top designer.
