How to Have a Stylish Low Budget Wedding


  

There are two ways to plan a Low Budget Wedding. First, there is the bad way. You could have a make do and mend style wedding. There are plenty of nickel and dime ways that you can save on the cost of your wedding.

  • Invite fewer guests
  • email the invitations
  • You could buy a used wedding dress and your bridesmaids, (if you have more than one), could do the same
  • You could make your own table decorations and wedding favors
  • Bake your own cake
  • Hold your wedding reception at home or at a friends house
  • Have a ‘pot luck’ reception and let your guests bring the food
  • Cut out the limousines and use taxis

Let’s face facts. This is not the wedding you dreamed of, is it? Let’ look at plan B. That is, to have the wedding that you always wanted but to get it at a price that you can afford. Is it really possible you ask. Yes, if you know what you are up against.

The wedding industry is an industry just like any other and it is ther to make money. Everything associated with weddings has a premium added to the price. Turn ordinary flowers into wedding flowers and watch the cash register spin. When you see the price tag on a wedding dress, you wouldn’t believe what it actually cost to make it.

And then there are all the add ons and extras that will add the final touch to your wedding day. At least that’s what they’d like you to believe. In reality, it is giving a huge boost to their bottom line. All the wedding vendors have their ploys to extract more money out of you. No wonder the average cost of a wedding is now over $26,000, largely due to this budget creep.

So do need to miss out on some the things that you would really have liked on your big day? Not on your life. You just need some foreknowledge so that you can turn the situation to your advantage. The outrageous prices associated with weddings leave lots of of room for discounts. Especially in these hard economic times. The wedding industry is feeling the pinch like the rest of us.

Armed with the right information, you can save 50% or more on almost every aspect of your wedding planning. Your Low Budget Wedding can still be the stylish affair that you always dreamed of, without breaking the bank. And you can decide whether you tell your friends how much it really cost. Discover how you can plan your special day without stress, using this easy, Low Budget Wedding planning guide.
