If you look at the current figures it will be shocking to reveal the amount of money people still spend during weddings. It can be easily considered as the most expensive event of their life. Sometimes the elders end up spending most of their savings for that one-night event, giving up on the dream of fine cars, their own house, and whatnot.

If you don’t have the same amount of money or don’t believe in such fancy spending then don’t worry you are in the right place. With our top ideas and tips, we ensure that you will be missing the style, fun, good memories of the wedding while also keeping in check the total amount you are spending.

But before you move forward, make sure that you are investing considerable time in the research regarding the same so that you can come up with the best ideas. Let’s move forward:

 

  • Venue:

 

After the agreement of both the family, further, it is decided when to get married and what will be the venue for it. Choosing a good wedding venue can be a costly affair, but here you can make a great saving by making sure you are not choosing the weekends and if possible, try to select an off city location.

 

  • Food and Drink Menu 

 

The best way you can save a lot of money on the menu of food, drink, and desserts are by providing the same on your own. Make a list of all your good friends and selective members to help, and make sure things are being done at a good pace without exhausting them as well. If this idea doesn’t suit you, then make sure to introduce heavy appetizers instead of a full meal. Some venues also allow you to bring your liquor and by cutting off the bar tab, you will be pocketing in a lot of money since this section is generally very expensive.

 

  • Choosing the Photographer and Videographer

 

Surely the wedding is a one-night event but we make sure that the memories of it are well captured since they will take away on the same day and we fill up in the different levels of emotion. However, to make the same thing possible is very expensive. You can save money here by hiring someone who just got graduated in the same field or a photographer who is doing this as a part-time job.

 

  • Flowers

 

It might not seem such a big deal for you but wedding flowers can cost you a large bill. But if you play it smart, you can cut down the flower bill without compromising on the beautiful arrangements. Make sure you are selecting the flowers which are cheap but also good looking. Apart from this, look for trying different decoration patterns which don’t need many flowers.

 

  • Ceremony Decorations

 

Here we need to understand that keeping it simple still looks beautiful as long as everyone available there is happy in the present moment. The venue itself speaks a lot about the marriage so make sure you are not spending much on decoration.

 

  • Wedding Dress

 

This is one place where people tend to overspend since things can go out of control pretty quickly. Every bride wants to look the best in their wedding dress. You have to be firm and disciplined with the chosen budget and make sure you are shopping wisely.

 

  • Menswear

 

Even though most of the attention is given to the bride, it is also important to look at the groom as well. To save you a fortune, you will find that the groom’s wear won’t cost you as much as a bride’s dress. Be flexible while shopping for the big day and look for cheaper but good quality alternatives.

 

  • The Hairstyle of The Bride

 

It may sound convenient that the hairstylist is coming to your venue for the job but that will also cost you a lot of money. You can learn how to do your hair or hire a fresher who won’t charge you much for a hairdo. 

 

  • Wedding Jewelry

 

Not only you will be exchanging rings during the wedding ceremony, but you have to make sure you are choosing the most unique engagement rings to steal the show. However, that doesn’t need to be the most expensive choice. Choose the one in your budget that goes well with the dress of your wedding.

 

  • Makeup

 

Just like choosing the best jewelry, you have to bring in the best makeup under your budget. Choosing a professional for the makeup will put you out of your budget which you might regret later on. Another budget-friendly alternative here is by buying your makeup kit and doing the rest by yourself. Make sure you are considering all the makeup costs cut-up by applying effective coupons on makeup kits or promotional offers for hiring a professional.
