In the wedding, the wedding venue may cost most of your budget. If you want
to save money on this, you can hold your wedding at weekdays, the prices will be
lower than rent the palce at weekends. If you get married out of season such
as September, November or even April which are the slow periods for hotel
business, the price will be much lower.
If you want to have a church ceremony, try to set the date near some
religious festivity, the church will already be decorated! Check out if there’s
another one wedding in the chapel that day. If so find out if the other couple
eventually will share the money for decorations. Eventually if you decide to
decorate the church on your expense you may consider moving the flowers from
church to the wedding venue.
Prices of the wedding dresses are various depending on the price of materials
used. Some of wedding salons are organizing one or biannual sample sale, when a
dress can cost even 70% less than normally. You always can rent your gown, of
course in case you don’t want it to hang in your wardrobe forever! Ok, you ARE
sentimental, so maybe a custom made dress? There are some truly talented
dressmakers and seamstresses who will create couture dress at mass market
price.
Of course another important part of your look are accessories. There’s really
no need to by a necklace or earrings, while you can borrow them from someone in
your family. It is sure that your aunt, mom or sister will be delighted to see
you on your important day adorned by their jewels. Don’t forget one important
rule regarding fresh flowers. Seasonal flowers are cheaper than exotic glass
house plants, and not less beautiful!
You can as well save money on your wedding cake. Instead of ordering a big
masterpiece of 50 pounds order a smaller one, to go along with simple sheet
cake of the same taste but no decorations.
