It’s common knowledge that weddings can get very
expensive if you don't put a lid on them. There are so many ways you can adapt
to, to make your wedding royal yet very inexpensive. Like you can buy sparklers to give your wedding all the glitter you need. Other things you can do
to make your day perfect under budget are:
1. Guest
List Bloating
Guest list can go ballistics if you don't contain it.
It’s not necessary to invite everyone you know, only the people who matter will
suffice. Don't fall in to obligation of inviting people. A wedding ceremony is
the place for the loved ones not obligations. You should start trimming your
list by 20 percent, see if you are happy with it and then get rid of another 20
percent. Keep going till your list is considerably short and you are happy with
the people you have on the list.
2. Hold the
Ceremony at Home or Outdoors
With a contained list you can have the ceremony in
your backyard. Renting a hall or a building can cost you big money. You can
either have the ceremony at your own place or borrow someone’s that can
accommodate your guests easily. For outdoor weddings a public park isn't a bad
option either. To add the spark to your wedding buy sparklers by the ton
and have your guest give you a big send-off.
Make sure you have the weather in check, in case you are going for an
outdoor wedding.
3. Go
Minimal with the Flowers
Why spend money on something that will wilt at the end
of the day. Best way to keep flowers a minimal, is to give everyone a flower
each and a small bouquet of flowers for the bride, making your own bouquet can
save you money too. One more thing you can do, is get fake flowers instead of
new ones. After the wedding you can decorate them in your house, hence saving
money on décor.
4. Buy
Dresses Off the Rack
Don't go for same dress for the brides’ maids, go for
the same colour palate instead. This way you can buy the dresses off the rack
or on sale. Even for the bride’s dress you can do the same, go for a preowned
dress, or something you can rent or something you can get on sale. A big poufy
dress may look awesome but it’s of no use after the wedding. This idea can save
you a lot of money as the dress costs are sky high.
5.
Off-Season Wedding
Weddings cost more when its well, wedding season. It’s
better to plan an off-season wedding to cut the costs a bit. How can you do
that? Avoid weekends, holidays, as they are usually more expensive than other
days. Week day wedding costs less but make sure your guests are well aware of
it because more people can make it on week days. Also, Avoid the in-season
wedding months.
Weddings are a fun affair, make it more fun with
colours, DIY décor and buy sparklers to have a blast.
