Few people realise that having a beautiful wedding does not require spending their entire savings. If you’re planning a wedding, learning where to cut costs and how to budget will leave you with money to spare. Here’s how to create a beautiful wedding on a budget.
There are many ways to have the wedding of your dreams without the nightmare of huge bills. You just have to be resourceful. Here are some tips on creating a designer wedding on a budget.
Something old
For something old, wear a vintage wedding dress. You can save hundreds on a wedding gown by shopping in second-hand wedding shops, charity shops, vintage stores, in newspaper classifieds and on the internet. You also can update your mother’s, grandmother’s or aunt’s wedding dress with a new neckline or hemline, beading or lace.
Do it yourself
Print your own invitations. Many wedding accessories can be made instead of buying – the veil, the centrepieces, and even the invitations. Do-it-yourself kits are available to help you create designer looks without designer price tags.
Head to your nearest stationers or craft shop and check out the line of paper-related wedding accessories. You can design original and elegant invites, from invitations to menu cards to guest books and photo albums. So, kits usually include colour options and envelopes, reply cards and printing instructions.
Beep beep!
Use an antique or classic car instead of a limousine. Contact a local antique or classic car club to rent a luxury vehicle, such as a 1939 Rolls-Royce or a 1952 Cadillac DeVille. Most of the owners will be thrilled to loan out their cars, and you’ll have more than enough room for the married couple at a much lower price. And, whereas a limousine is rented for a couple of hours, you have the benefit of keeping the antique vehicle for 24 hours or longer.
Floral displays
Keep the flowers simple. Instead of hiring a florist, contact a floral-design school and engage with the students to provide you with flower arrangements. You also can create your own and ask your bridesmaids to help. Buy one colour of flower in bulk. It makes a visual impact while saving money. Contact a wholesale florist; many will sell flowers directly to the consumer.
