There are too many irresistible options that come along when a Bride is planning her wedding. Unfortunately, you cannot have them all due to budget constraints. But you can have most of them without breaking the bank if you exercise moderation. Making the decisions of what is really important for you is essential here. Here are some simple ways to save money on your wedding expenses:

1. You need photography as well as videos but can’t seem to fit them in your budget. A great idea is to ask a family member or a friend who is good with a digital camera to take photos. They will be glad to oblige. Similarly, almost is crazed about making videos on a handycam these days. These cameras are very easy to handle and give very good video quality. Anyone with a little experience can easily shoot the entire wedding and even edit it using free software available online.

2. You need floral centerpieces and decorations but the florist bills cannot find space in your tight budget. The solution is to go all silk! Buy silk flowers and start making the decorations and centerpieces yourself. Silk flowers don’t wilt which means you can start making the decorations months before the wedding. Every time you find a spare hour, sit down and make some decorations.

3. You need pretty little decorations and accents that you see in fancy stores. Our solution is eBay. Go to eBay and you will be sure to find some beautiful things for much less. You can even find your wedding dress on eBay.

4. You need a lovely expensive cake, just like in the window of the upscale bakery shop. You can get the multi-tiered effect with cupcake wedding cakes which are extremely popular these days. You can also try your local grocery store bakery or find a friend who can bake well or departmental shops that have ready-made wedding cakes. Cheesecakes are also gaining popularity as wedding cakes and cost much less.

5. You need pretty wedding favors, wrapped or tied in tulle just like you see at expensive weddings. You can always have them. All you need to decide is what to put in them. Sugared almonds can be substituted by chocolates and candies. There are a number of heart shaped candies available in stores or you could simply go with the romantic Hershey’s ‘kisses’.

No matter what you desire to have for your wedding, you should be able to fulfill your desires by using smart alternatives and exercising moderation. At all times, remember that it is the ‘Wedding’ that is more important and not just the ‘Celebration’ of it.
