The wedding budget is an essential part of wedding planning. This sets how much to spend on the essential elements of the momentous wedding. As a matter of fact, we must set the budget at the very beginning.
The costs of wedding have increased steadily. We easily get carried away. We all have limits on what we can spend. After we set the budget, we must follow the budget as hard as we can. Otherwise, we became the casualty of over-spending. There are few ways to spend less on wedding.
When we are shopping for something, we must compare the prices. To compare the prices is imperative to spend less on wedding. When we see something great the first time, we go continue to see the rest. Then, we make the ultimate decision. By planning your own wedding, you will spend less on wedding too. Although wedding planner will professionally organize everything for you, the wedding planner will increase your wedding expenses.
Wedding Flowers
Use the wedding flowers that are abundantly available in season and readily available on local. Thus, you spend less on wedding flowers. There are flowers available all year round, but there are many flowers available on a certain season only. For example, the tulips are abundant on spring season. The tulip bulbs need to freeze during the winter months for the tulip to bloom on spring season. However, it is not impossible to find flowers which are not on season. The flowers just cost more.
Making wedding flower arrangements yourself, you can spend less on the wedding florists. Usually, the florists make flower arrangements on bouquets, centerpieces, corsages, hairclips, button-holes, wedding aisles, and flower girl baskets.
Some floral schools may also arrange the flowers for you. Students who want to get their foot in the door may arrange the flowers at a fraction of the costs.
Wedding Dress
When you add the word wedding in front of dress, the dress will cost a fortune. To buy a wedding dress will cost in the thousands. During September to October, the homecoming or prom dress is a great alternative.
During the off peak wedding season, the wedding dress costs less. From January to March, the designers put the wedding dress for clearance. Hereby, we can own a brand wedding dress at less price.
Rent or borrow from friends or relatives. Some moms or grandmother have kept the wedding dress for keepsake. If the wedding dress is on excellent condition, you can borrow the wedding dress.
Department stores stack the wedding dress for sale. The wedding dresses of designer boutique are more expensive than department stores. Even though the wedding dress includes the newest and trendiest on designer boutique, you can find a good quality wedding dress on department stores. Look also for the discontinued rack. Designers make different design for each season and year. There will be a time when the designers will stop making the particular design.
Reception Dinner
If you compare the prices on the menu, the pasta, chicken, and rice cost less than most dishes. Serve pasta, rice, or chicken to spend less on the dinner. It also fills you up more too.
The buffet or plate dinner will costs less than sit down dinner. Best of all, the guests can comeback for the second and third time. That will surely fill them up.
Borrow or rent the large backyard or garden for wedding reception from friends or family. If you already have own a large backyard or garden, you can use the backyard or garden as wedding reception.
The wedding reception on Fridays saves a few dollars for each guest. It all adds up when there are many guests on the wedding reception.
Wedding Cake
The wedding cake can serve as dessert to finish the wonderful meal. After the wedding cake has done its part, you can cut into smaller pieces to serve on plate. Or, the guests cut the piece of cake themselves.
Some bakery schools may also cater the wedding cake to your wedding. The students are always eager for real life experience. At the same time, we spend less on wedding cake and give real life experience to students.
