Save money on the wedding video by hiring a broadcast quality camera and asking your friends and family to film you throughout the day each doing a 30 minute shift. They don’t need to be pro’s, just be keen to do a good job. When you have all the footage hire an editor to make a tip top wedding video. I have seen a few people doing this in the last year at weddings I have entertained at.

Don’t waste money on the food, spending £50-60 a head on food and wine on top is just a big waste of money – nobody will remember it. We had fish and chips at our wedding and knickerbocker glory for desert, cost £17 per head – all the guests brought their own wine and we saved over £4000 on the wedding budget for our honeymoon.
Think about it –

There are endless ways of saving on your wedding some of my favourites include:

1. Meal – this is potentially one of the largest expenses. You can reduce the number of guests (not always easy). Consider using alternative suppliers, speak to local resturants where you know the food is good value and tasty and then talk to them about doing a deal on supplying the food for your big day (they don’t have to know it’s a wedding, say its a family function (suppliers love to boost the price as soon as they hear the word “wedding”), if you are going to order a decent number of meals expect a decent discount.

2. Honeymoon – If you are not having a lot of guests consider combining the wedding and honeymoon and get married abroad (only one venue to pay for).

3. The rings – You can get cheap wedding rings by shoping around, but remember you dont’ have to go with platinum or gold. Costume jewellery will get you by for a year or two until you can afford to get better quality rings. Or if you want to spend a little more consider paladium rather than platinum (it’s from the same family as platinum and looks the same but is quite a bit cheaper).

I hope these help.

Good advice! My tip is to book suppliers close to the date. As a wedding supplier myself I know that with a year to go, I have plenty of chance to fill the date but the closer I get the less likely I am to get something so the more competitive I am likely to be with my price!

It’s easy to have a cheap wedding — the trick is to make it lush and lovely and cheap.
For the reception: create focal points. Most people do not notice the small details – but do notice the large overall impression. Put risers on the food tables, and create tiers. Drape with fabric remnants for interest.

Use lights. It may cost you a hundred dollars or so to rent lights, but you can get a really dramatic effect.

Make dessert towers of pies of cupcakes instead of a $2,000 cake.

We’ve specialized in DIY weddings for 15 years and made amazingly beautiful diy wedding invitation kits: http://www.invitesite.com/weddings/All-wedding-invitations.php
We always have some on sale, so you get $15 invites for $1.50 (since you are printing and assembling)

Have fun! And made sure someone in on point on your wedding day. Hire a wedding co-ordinator. It’s worth it.

Firstly, I want to apologyse for my English, I’m Potuguese – so, you have a devoted reader directly from Lisbon, Portugal! ;)

Now, regarding the topic – I actually got married last year.
Besides designing and printing all the stationary, we’ve decided to hand-made all the favours as well. More money saved…

Other tips are related to the attire – one can actually have her gown hand-made or ordered online with a great discount – same for the groom of course. My bridal shoes were ordered online and only costed me â‚¬60 (with delivery costs included) which is a great deal when comparing to the shoes sold by the bridal shop – which were from â‚¬200 to â‚¬350. Also, for the evening I had a faux-fur stole that was borrowed from a friend who had married only one month before.

Don’t be afraid to research the best deals and aks your friends – most of them will be quite happy and honored if you they lend something for your important day.
