Keeping Your Wedding Budget Down
When you first start planning you need to think about which resources you have available to you as they may come in helpful.
A perfect example of this may be if you have a friend who is a chef then they can help you with the catering.
In addition to catering it would good idea to see if any of your friends or friends of friends knows how to alter dresses or if they have helpful connections which could save money.
Little things like this could easily add up and eventually you could save yourself a lot of money.
Catering is a huge cost in wedding organising and fortunately it is one which could be reduced by up 90% or more! Some people opt to have a sit down meal for their guest which in a dream world is perfect but the cost means you will be looking at around £25 per head for a hot meal you would enjoy.
Obviously if you are on a budget a sit down meal is completely ruled out so many take the option of having a caterer provide a buffet for their guests but then you are still looking to spend around £8 per head another cost which can still be reduced.
Making your own buffet is a task with need of near no ability as making sandwiches and cutting quiches is not a difficult job.
When deciding on what party food to supply for your own buffet take a trip down to your local wholesaler and if you're lucky you could easily get the whole buffet sorted for a price as small as £60 depending on the number of guests attending.
The wedding dress is another high cost which can be reduced with a bit of research and patience.
Most people only wear their wedding dress once so a 2nd hand dress would still be like a new and could possibly be more than half the price.
There are websites online where people sell their wedding dresses and nearly all of them are in immaculate condition allowing for another bride to be to look amazing as they did.
Bridesmaids dresses soon add up when you have 3 or for to buy but if you go to your local clothing retailer they will have own brand clothing in designer quality, something many people have always been after.
By following these steps the bill for your wedding will be drastically reduced and during such strict economic times it is definitely needed.
There are other ways you can reduce the bill but with these 3 ways will be the most effective and easiest to complete whilst not affecting how you will remember the day for the rest of your life.
