Do you know that you can have a wedding for as little as $5,000 to $10,000? There are many couples who have done it and enjoyed beautiful wedding. I have worked with not a few of them. With the hard times, more and more couples are looking for ways to slash down their expenses for the wedding without sacrificing the look and feel of the wedding.
Here are some tips that might help you plan low budget weddings:
Ask the help of friends and families. Do you have friends whom you know are very good with make-up or with hair-styling? Why not ask them if they can do it for the bride? If you have a friend whom you know has a good fashion sense, you can ask them to accompany you shop for the wedding dress. If you know anyone who is good in sewing, you can ask them if they can spice up the wedding dress that you bought. People whom you know will not charge as high as those who provide professional services.
You can do your own invitations and decorations. Ask the help of your little siblings or cousins or friends in decorating the reception hall. You make beautiful invitations with just simple strokes in your computer and a good colored laser ink printer. Go to the nearest dollar store and look for cheap but beautiful materials for the reception such as tulle. You can add ribbons or laces to the tulle.
If you have a brother or a friend who likes to take pictures, why not ask him to take your wedding pictures using their digital cameras. The pictures from digital cameras will be very easily edited in photography studios.
Buy your own alcoholic drinks. The caterer adds a lot to the original price of the bottles of wine that they will be bringing to your reception. You can just buy wine at a discount store and you’ll be saving lots of money.
Choosing the time and place for your wedding can save you hundreds of dollars. Don’t plan your wedding during June or December because reception areas tend to be expensive during these wedding peak seasons.
There are many other simple ways that you can do to have low budget weddings. Just remember that you don’t have to sacrifice the beauty and solemnity and the celebratory mood of your wedding ceremony and wedding reception just because you have a limited budget. All you need is a little creativity and you can have the dream wedding for as little as $5,000.
