How to Have a Stylish Low Budget Wedding

There are two ways to plan a Low Budget Wedding. First, let’s look at the tacky way. You could have a do it yourself style wedding. There are plenty of penny pinching ways that you can use to reduce the cost of your wedding.

• Invite fewer guests
• email the invitations
• You could buy a used wedding dress and your bridesmaids, (if you have more than one), could do the same
• You could make your own table decorations and wedding favors
• Bake your own cake
• Hold your wedding reception at home or at a friends house
• Have a ‘pot luck’ reception and let your guests bring the food
• Cut out the limousines and use taxis

Let’s face facts. This is not your dream wedding, is it? So on to plan B. Namely, to have the wedding that you always wanted but to get it at a price that you can afford. Can this be possible you ask. Yes it is, but you have to know what you are up against.

The wedding industry is an industry just like any other and it is ther to make money. Everything associated with weddings has an inflated price tag. Turn ordinary flowers into wedding flowers and watch the cash register spin. When you see the price tag on a wedding gown, you would be shocked at what it actually cost to make it.

And then there are all the extras that really make your wedding day. At least that’s what they’ll tell you. In reality, it is giving a healthy boost to their profits. All the wedding vendors have their ploys to extract more money out of you. No wonder this budget creep has pushed the average cost of a wedding over $26,000.

So do you have to miss out on some the things that you would really like for your big day? No you don’t have to. You just need some foreknowledge so that you can turn the situation to your advantage. The outrageous prices associated with weddings leave lots of of room for discounts. Particularly now that times are hard. The wedding industry is struggling too.

Armed with the right information, you can save half or more on the cost of almost every wedding item. Your Low Budget Wedding can still be the stylish affair that you always dreamed of, without breaking the bank. And it will be up to you whether you tell your friends how much it really cost.
