Many couples are engaged for a very long time because they want to have that fairy-tale wedding and invite all and sundry. You have to know that a big and overtly expensive wedding is not synonymous to a beautiful wedding.
You do not have to break the bank before you create your dream wedding because it is very possible to have a very beautiful wedding on a budget here are a few amongst the many things you can do:
- Limit your guest list
You cannot invite everyone you have ever come in contact within life; your kindergarten teacher does not necessarily have to be at your wedding. Go over the list with your partner, your parents and your in-laws. Decide on the number of guests and stick to it; make sure to revise the list again and again before sending the invites.
- DIYs
There are some things you can do yourself or have your talented family member assist you for a fee. Example of such is your invite; in fact, you can decide not to make hardcopy invites but make a design online and email it to your guests and they can decide if they want to print it or not. You can also make your bouquet yourself at the end of the day the bouquet will not cry out saying it was not bought.
- Wedding Day
You do not have to get married on a Saturday; you can go for days where people are not rushing for because every Saturday is already booked for a hundred weddings and more thereby making the rates from the vendors really high. If you pick other days that people do not really think about you can get them at a fair and affordable rate.
- Honesty
Be very honest with your vendors and let them know what you have in mind and I assure you that you will be able to get something really affordable. You do not have to go for the celebrity chefs except you can afford it. There are a lot of great cooks out there who do not even know what Instagram is. When it comes to photography and videos you will have friends who are professionals or know professional and can give you affordable rates and your pictures will turn out great.
These days, people are doing wonders with their phones how much more a camera; the world is really moving fast and a lot of people are interested in photography (so it will not be hard for you to get any). There are also professionals who have discount periods. You can decide to connect your iPod with a vast library to a speaker instead of hiring a DJ.
- Outfit and Accessories
If you can sew then go ahead and make your dress or give that amazing tailor on your street who would do a great job and not cut your neck. You can also order online from some not too expensive stores or buy them during the discount period by some bridal stores.
