How to Chose a Good Chateau Wedding Package

Love can weather even the toughest economic times, and that means the weddings go on.

Couples are not going to cancel their wedding because of a weak economy — there are plenty of inexpensive options that still end in marriage. Most couples figure that as long as they’re not burying themselves in debt and have enough cash in case of a non-wedding-related emergency, now seems just as good as later.

Planning a wedding in this economy will be a challenge for many (if not most!) couples today. But is it still possible to plan your dream wedding in these troubled times? Absolutely.

Resorts and other wedding venues in exotic locales stand to gain the most from the move towards so-called destination weddings. The top choice for such events? France, the land of romance, 30,000 castles and fine food and wine and fantastic value wedding packages.

The key to a cost efficient wedding is flexibility and creativity.Start your marriage with the determination to have the wedding of your dreams at the price you can easily afford!Don’t count on outside sources to fund your wedding – you might not get that credit card, the credit card company might not send you your new credit card when the old one expires,  your relatives who have offered financial assistance might fall on hard times.Calculate what you have and work from there.

Very importantly take out wedding insurance before you engage any vendors incase they do not survive these tough times leaving you out of pocket  and in a bind on your special day. 

You need to evaluate all the parts of the wedding and see what you can do yourself in order to pick the most appropriate wedding package for you. Do you know someone who sings? Plays piano? Bakes a mean cake? Can be your Emcee?

Recession Proof Wedding packages offers everything couples need to host their dream wedding without breaking the bank.  Some wedding planners offer their services à la carte — helping with only certain parts of the wedding to help cash-strapped brides and grooms.

More and more couples are working professionals getting married at an older age and welcome extra help with the many details.

The key is knowing the right questions to ask your vendors, catering manager, and anyone else that you are writing checks to on the big day:

• Together with your partner prioritize what’s important to each (and both) of you for your wedding day and allocate your funds for your wedding package accordingly. Choose what’s really important to you – - great photos or beautiful flowers – - and put your money toward that, rather than trying to throw money at every aspect of the wedding
• Do not spend every penny you have on your wedding package.  Only spend what you can afford now. 
• Get everything in writing. 
• Pare down - scale back that guest list. Forget Preston Bailey
• Go for quality not quantity  - Order simple floral arrangements. Avoid exotic flowers that are not in season.  ok for inexpensive flowers. The most popular lower-priced blooms are: daisies, freesia, chrysanthemums, gladiolus, and sunflowers.
• Do any DIY you can handle
• Think about a wedding in  October to March – off peak months for the northern hemisphere and avoid Saturdays. 

If you really don’t have enough money to get married, elope. You can always have the wedding you want later when you can afford it.
