Wedding Planning on a Budget Without Ending Up Tacky!

Your childhood dream of the most beautiful wedding ever need not burn a hole in your pocket! There are a number of ways in which you can cut corners without ending up looking tacky! What’s the secret?
 
Start Off Right
 
• When you are into wedding planning on a budget, there is a lot you can save on by going for the right dates. What are we talking about? Well, if you can manage a date in the ‘off season’, you save a neat pile on the costs!
• Weekday weddings are less expensive compared to Saturdays!
 
Saving On the Wedding Dress
 
• If you are not going to look at that designer outfit for the rest of your life (except to sigh at it occasionally!), consider renting one.
• If you ARE buying one, go for polyesters and blends. Don’t even think about going for silks!
• Lookout for sales and discounts the moment you start wedding planning on a budget.
• Try and get the bridesmaid dresses after New Year’s or even during the prom season. You will save on the costs and your bridesmaids will be none the worse for it!
 
Say It with Flowers
 
• Go seasonal with flowers. It saves you a lot of money and looks attractive too.
• Why not consider tossing just a single flower for a change? You also end up with another advantage; you don’t have to see your precious bouquet mauled by 30 clawing women!
• You can even consider going for artificial flowers, at least for the bridesmaids. The bride could have the fresh flowers- after all; she is the star of the show!
 
Saving On the Invitations
 
• You can save a lot of money if you make the invitations yourself. You can also impress your guests with this personal touch!
• Online orders can also save you a lot of money- so hit the net if you want that bargain!
• You can even go for plain invitations- and then add a personal touch to them with the help of simple ribbons or other decorations! Your imagination is really the limit to what you can achieve!
 
Party Favors
 
• You can always hit the different stores for cheaper alternatives.
• Shop online. You can get great bargains if you buy all your stuff at the same place!
• Instead of giving out meaningless favors that will just get dumped the moment you are out of sight, why not make a donation for the amount you are willing to spend? Mention the fact that you are making a donation to a cause that is close to you. No one is likely to grudge you this wonderful gesture!
 
As you can see, a bit of creativity and imagination can go a long way when you are going for wedding planning on a budget – and save you money in the bargain! Now, what are you waiting for?
