Top 10 Ways to Save Money on Your Wedding
By Leah Steenstra
- Get married in the morning, on a Friday or Sunday and/or in the winter
months.
- Keep the guest list small.
- Make your own veil. Most craft stores sell how-to books and supplies.
You can save hundreds of dollars by making your own.
- Purchase your wedding gown at a place other than a bridal salon.
- Supply your own alcohol if you're able too.
- Consider not having a dinner reception. Opt instead for a brunch,
afternoon tea, cocktail or dessert party.
- Use silk flowers. They are always less than fresh flowers, plus they can
be rented!
- Decorate with more greenery and baby's breath, and less flower blooms.
- Make your own invitations. There are software programs available that
can help you with this task, and you can purchase wedding desktop publishing
paper.
- Check out local universities for qualified and inexpensive musicians,
photographers, and videographers. Professors will be able to point you to
the best students in the program.
