6 Budget-Friendly Wedding Planning Tips
Wedding planning can easily get out of hand and cost more than you had in mind! Start the planning process by creating a budget with your partner and commit to it. Follow these helpful tips to help you stay on budget!
1. Cut your guest list
Many costs are driven by headcount so planning a more intimate wedding with a smaller guest list will help you save costs across the board like catering, seating and favours.
2. Choose an off-peak wedding date
If you’re flexible with your date, selecting an off-peak month (think beautiful winter wedding) or hosting a weekday celebration can cut costs dramatically. Inquire with your venue and other major service providers to get a good sense of the savings they can offer.
3. Use fresh blooms sparingly
There’s something about fresh florals at a wedding, but depending on the type and quantity of florals you want the costs can add up quickly. Consider complementing fresh blooms with faux flowers or non-floral decorations throughout.
4. A simple cake design
The price tag for wedding cakes increases in relation to the size and additional details requested. Choosing a simple and chic cake design can help you save big!
5. Choose a naturally beautiful location
A wedding venue with beautiful architecture or within a beautiful setting speaks for itself and can do with less décor rentals.
6. Wedding dress sample sales
Consider the sample sales at your local bridal shops. Many brides have found their dream designer dress this way, at a big discount!
Most importantly, do your research, and make sure you leave time to explore your options with our local wedding directory.
Happy planning!
