A wedding on a budget does not mean forgoing the designer dress, a honeymoon or a cake, it just means watching where the money goes. Most brides know that as soon as you mention the word "wedding" price lists change and prices rise...
Easy ways to keep within your budget or save even more money while planning your perfect wedding:
- Agree on a wedding budget with your partner.
- Talk with your parents about who will be contributing to the wedding and how much, or for what.
- Breakdown how much you want to spend on each aspect of the wedding (food and drink, flowers, clothing, honeymoon, photos, etc).
- Track your spending.
- Create a time line
- Write down your ideal wedding, and then request several quotes to compare costs and get the best rate.
- Create your guest list (the number may dictate whether you have a sit down dinner, or cocktail event)
- Check your budget and your spending.
- Get creative with your venue, catering, flowers, dress, clothing, wedding favors, invitations and accessories to keep within your budget, and to create a unique wedding that people will remember for a long time.
- Ask friends for advice from their weddings.
- Do research online. Read blogs, read forums, compare prices and view photos of other weddings.
- Organise a debit credit card to pay for everything. Use your own money, no interest fees, but it is an easy way to track your spending.
- Buy in bulk or from warehouses. Buy wedding favours in bulk, ribbon in bulk, invitations from paper suppliers etc.
- Book your wedding during the low period.
- Check venues for any offers they have.
