A wedding is one of the most important things to happen in a woman’s life. She dreams about it since a young age. When the moment comes, she wants to have the best wedding ever. But, in today’s world of economic instability, most women are not as lucky as Kate Middleton. A wedding need not be expensive to be beautiful. Read on to find 5 ways to have a beautiful wedding on a budget.
1. Cut transportations cost
Transportation adds to a chunk of wedding costs. You don’t always need a limousine to have a memorable wedding. You always have the option of modifying an ordinary car at a much lesser cost. Or if you live near the venue, go for the French way of walking. If transport is becoming more of a burden, you can look out for pricier venues which include transportation. It may work out cheaper that way.
2. Cheap decorations and flowers
Decorating a wedding venue is time consuming and expensive. But you can bring down the cost by substituting the real things with paper flowers. Instead of wedding specialists, you can do the arrangements yourself by taking help of your friends. If not possible, you can bring the price down of real flowers by haggling with the providers.
3. Appoint friends as photographers
Professional wedding photographers can be expensive. Friends can help you in your time of need by doubling as photographers. Some of your friends might be expert casual photographers and this is the opportune time to put their talent to use. You can benefit from captured memories and your friends will thank you for a chance to put their talents to work.
4. Book package holidays earlier
Always remember the golden rule in holiday booking, ‘The earlier the booking, the wider and cheaper choices you have’. Ordering a holiday package very late may be cheaper, but the choices will be limited. You can search for cheap holiday packages over the internet to compare prices. This will help you to select the best combination of choice and price.
5. Plan with free tools
It’s not a necessity to hire a wedding planner anymore. You can do it yourself by free online tools like Google Weddings, World of Wedmin and Hitched. They are not only free, but user friendly and customizable. These free websites allow you to budget, share plans, search vendors, compare, view reviews and suggest ideas on decoration, dresses and more.
