There are two ways to plan a Low Budget Wedding. First, let’s look at the bad way. You could have a settle for wedding. There are plenty of penny pinching ways that you can use to reduce 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 sounding like the wedding of your dreams, is it? So on to the alternative plan. That is, to have the wedding that you always wanted but to stay within your budget. Can this be 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 motivated by the bottom line. Everything to do with weddings has a premium added to the price. Turn ordinary flowers into wedding flowers and watch the price soar. 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 their story. In reality, it is benefitting them more than you. 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 overspending.

So do need to miss out on some the things that you would really have liked on your big day? No you don’t have to. You just need to know what you are dealing with so that you can turn the situation to your advantage. The premium prices associated with weddings leave plenty of room for discounts. More so when times are tough. The wedding industry is feeling the pinch too.

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.
