Saving Money On Your Wedding By: Carol Bell
The cost of a wedding can put many couples off the occasion,the average cost of a wedding today is 20 to 25 thousand dollars with an industry estimated at 25. Just because your budget cannot stretch to pay for all those expensive 'necessities', it doesn't mean that your wedding will be any less unique,although you may not believe it now, a cheap wedding can be arranged which everyone will enjoy. A little guidance and cost saving ideas could make it all possible,still ensuring you have a great day.
Cheap Hand Made Wedding Gowns
Almost never considered are the costs associated with the hand made wedding dress; many brides sell their dress soon after they are married and this is a sensible way to reduce the cost. Selling previously owned wedding dresses is an area which is becoming more popular; when a bride-to-be realizes she can have a quality handmade dress for half the cost of a new one or even renting it for the day, this begins to make sense.
Reception Costs
Controlling costs especially on the reception is probably the hardest part,start planning your cheap wedding by looking at the number of guests you have attending. There is a tendency to invite everyone you have ever known or is a member of the family but this is completely unrealistic and unnecessary; if you have a buffet instead of a four course meal, waiting staff will not be required either.
Although it is nice to hold the wedding reception in a beautiful hotel, this can be another huge expense but alternatives exist; there are many clubs that would be perfectly suitable or even the home of a good friend or relative that is large enough.
The Wedding Photographs
As far as the photographer is concerned, why not just hire one for the service; most guests take cameras and will be happy to take photos at the reception and of course you will have plenty to choose from. If you really want to be 'avante guarde', why pay for a photographer at all; these days most people know someone who is a keen, capable amateur photographer, and there is nothing wrong with asking them to take photos throughout the whole day.
Cheaper Contemporary Invites
Other areas where you can be assured of saving money is wedding invitations and other stationery; today's home computers and printers are able to provide near professional results. Many people are now competent enough to produce near professional quality work; problems and errors can be corrected quickly without regular visits to the printers.
Flowers at the Wedding
If you want to reduce the cost of flowers, then how about this for an option; why not visit the local flower wholesaler where huge savings are possible, then all that's needed is a little imagination when it comes to the display. Wedding cakes are another costly item but this can easily be made by a friend; these days' people often experiment with different fillings that do not rely on fruit - which has been used in cakes for generations.
The Wedding Car
As a last cost saving measure, ask a friends or relation who has a nice car to decorate it and use it instead of a limousine; I'll bet he or she would be more than happy.
Savings can be made everywhere if you just know where to look but this doesn't mean it has to look like a cheap wedding; who will care providing everyone enjoys the occasion!
