Wedding Breeze

Getting married can be absurdly expensive. But if you really do not want to start your married life totally in debt why not follow these five ideas to help lower the cost of the wedding.

1) How can you save on the venue?
Are you determined to have a early spring or summer wedding? In the event that the answer is simply no then the biggest reduction in spending one can make is to have your big event during the winter time. The cost of booking your venue will undoubtedly end up being cheaper – even more so if you opt for a day during the week rather than a Saturday or Sunday. Winter weddings may be incredibly romantic. Picture a stunning bride with a fur wrap and a christmas bouquet. If you live in britain there is no absolute guarantee that the weather during the summer time will be good in any case and nothing beats a beautiful crisp, clear, sunny winter’s day. I got hitched in January and had my own reception at a country hotel. It was gorgeous as by the time we’d finished the reception beverages it was getting darkish and the reception areas were lit by actual candlelight – truly intimate.

2) Keeping the costs reception down
It may be you want to invite a ton of people to your wedding ceremony but this is where you might have to be a little bit ruthless. Try to maintain the number of visitors to below fifty or perhaps sixty (or less when possible) and then invite other people you don’t want to omit completely to the night time do.

3)  Lowering the champagne and wine costs
Negotiate with the reception venue about wine and bubbly costs. It might workout cheaper to provide your own booze and pay corkage for it. With so many half price deals in supermarkets nowadays you can get some relatively good wine inexpensively and hopefully the corkage won’t bump it up an excessive amount.

4) The Cake
I made a huge saving on my wedding cake by going to Marks and Spencer. After having been quoted several hundred pounds regarding cakes a friend advised I try Marks. We didn’t even realise they do wedding cakes. They have a reasonably good range which includes cup cake ones but We opted for the more conventional kind. They do their particular cakes in different sizes plus they are mix and match. If you want a tiered cake you just decide on a medium, large and extra large cake, choose the color of the icing, next the type of inside such as vanilla sponge or chocolate sponge and you’re away. These cakes are very simple so I asked my florist to make three small flower arrangements, similar in look to my bridal bouquet, and I just these as decorations.

5) How to save on photography
This really is another place where you can really make substantial savings. It’s ok dishing the dough to have a pricey wedding photographer, however let’s face it, nowadays with digital cameras it can be eminently possible for even beginner photographers to take excellent photos. Another thing to note is that the current craze in wedding photography is to take laid-back shots – particularly kinds where the people in the shot don’t even observe it’s being taken, rather than traditional posed ones. So why not task several of your friends, with decent digital cameras, with the job of ‘official’ photographers. You’re bound to get lots of wonderful shots and then just about all you have to do will be to upload them to a website {specialising} in getting them into the form of a book or album.
