Plan Your Big Wedding on a Small Budget


Weddings are expense we all know this tiny little fact to be true. But what most don’t realize is if you are strict with your budget and don’t bend you will be able to get your big wedding on a little budget. If you don’t break these few simple rules you will get what you desire.

  Leave the little things alone, special touches like save-the-date notices, ceremony programs, guest favors, bathroom baskets, and monogrammed cocktail napkins, forget it.  Yes they add a personal style to your wedding, but will likely go unnoticed if they're skipped.  One-time use items, such as special toasting flutes or a cake knife and server, you will never use these again. So don’t bother to waste your money on one time uses.  The caterer or venue will provide these at no extra cost. 


  Two things you can cut down when it comes to your bridesmaids. First, give them the idea of what color you want them to wear. This gives them free range to find matching dresses at stores they prefer or maybe they have in their closet. Second, you don t need to give them a whole bouquet of flowers. Give each one her own flower with a bow tied on it. It will save you a lot of money on the florist bill.

   Buy some things used. There are many brides who buy everything they need for their wedding then afterwards unload when they start to realize that they don’t need all this junk. Wedding attire can often be rented or purchased from specialty consignment shops. Don’t be a snob to ideas they are only there to help you.
