What are some of
the ways brides can save?
They need to
prioritize. Figure out what matters most
and allocate budgets accordingly. These
items should arise out of honest conversations between the bride and groom and
their families. Such discussions can
make sure that what matters most is funded.
Budgets need to
be set. Couples must figure out how much
they can pay for individual items like flowers or receptions or photography and
then communicate that to the vendors involved.
It works better if a dollar amount is mentioned rather than a price
range.
Consider your own
resources. Do you have unused frequent
flyer miles that could cover honeymoon travel?
How about an uncle who collects classic cars? Could he provide a unique
and elegant ride between the church and reception for the bride and groom? Do you know someone who “knows someone” who
could get you a good price on quality champagne?
Step outside the
usual. Rather than insisting on a
Saturday night wedding, could you move to a Sunday? It has always been an option but few brides
used it. Every time you choose times,
places or options that few others are choosing, you’ll save money in various
ways.
Rethink what your
wedding means. It is a special
celebration for family and friends, not the way to pay back everyone who has
ever invited you or your family to a party.
If you are thinking that your wedding is a way to impress people, think
again. Have it your way and keep it personal.
