Finally, you’re nearing the date of your big day. It is a day people dream of, and everything should be perfect. Anyone can dream up a fairytale wedding, but not everyone can finance one. This begs the question of how much can you do with your available resources. Read on to learn about some of the best money saving wedding planning tips available today.
For food, consider going to a store such as Costco. If you shop wholesale, you will be able to purchase your wedding food affordably. Think about asking friends to help you out with food costs.
DO not select a dress that requires you to go on a starvation diet. Like a fighter getting ready for a big fight, you will wind up light headed from dehydration by rushing to lose a little weight. Passing out at the altar in the middle of exchanging vows? Not a pleasant thought. Instead, buy a dress with a corset back so you can take it in or out as necessary on the day of your vows.
Instead of one large, expensive wedding cake, consider serving cupcakes or several small cakes. For example, cupcakes can be made to be gluten-free, topped with fruit, or include artificial sweeteners.
Although it’s important to give the wedding DJ a list with songs you want to play at your reception, it is also important to inform him of those you DON’T want played. It could be a special song representing “old love”, a heavy metal song, or a country song. Whatever your dislikes, make sure your DJ knows about them.
Before choosing a photographer for your wedding day, browse around for ones with the most skill and experience. You never want to hire a photographer who doesn’t fit your style. Get recommendations from people you know if you aren’t sure who to use.
See that the lighting at the reception venue has the ability to be dimmed. You will want to have the option to dim the lights during dances or have bright lighting during the ceremony. Ask the venue about this before committing to it.
Finely crafted flowers made of silk can be a good selection for some of your needs, such as table centerpieces. Because they don’t have to be bought fresh, you can get them far in advance of your wedding, making one less thing you have to worry about on your wedding day.
Table centerpieces at a wedding may set you back financially and can actually be a hindrance, instead of an asset, if not artistically simplistic and pleasing. Use a small, simple center piece instead of a large one that takes up a lot of table space. If the centerpiece is too big, it becomes a distraction, making it difficult for people to interact as well as enjoy their food.
You’ve finally landed the soon-to-be spouse of your dreams, which begs the question of how you can create an equally perfect wedding. Spending more than you can afford is something you may regret once the big day is over. Hopefully you now feel better able to plan the wedding of your dreams on whatever budget you have. Choose the tips to use wisely to enjoy your ceremony.
