The cost of having a
wedding puts a financial strain on a couple just getting started in their new
life together. In order to look for affordable wedding ideas, you need to start
planning well in advance of the date. If you leave the little things until the
last minute, then you will have to pay a high price for what you need because
you won have the time to shop around. Many of the decorations can be handmade
if you have a creative talent and you can find what you need at discount stores
and flea markets.
The first item that
you need to take care of is finding the perfect wedding dress. If you don want
to spend a lot of money on a dress that you will only pack away afterwards,
then you can rent the dress of your dreams at an affordable price. Although you
know that someone else has worn it, no one else will know and you will still
look beautiful and elegant. If you have another family member whose dress is
the perfect size for you and she wants you to wear her dress, you can make a
few simple alterations such as adding lace to make this dress your own. There
are also discount bridal locations, both online and off, where you can get an
expensive dress at a really cheap price. Look in the classified section of the
newspaper or online sites where you can buy a previously owned dress to cut
down on the cost.
Make your own wedding
favors or buy really cheap candles at a discount or dollar store. Everyone
loves small candles in various shapes and you can purchase bags of tealight
candles at great discount prices. Craft stores often have great ideas for
wedding favors. You don have to have all the wedding favors alike, either. You
can choose to have different types of wedding favors for the guests to take
home as a memento of your special day. Since the idea of providing favors for
the guests is simply a way of saying thank you for attending, you can just have
a little thank you card at each place. The guests will know that you appreciate
their attendance.
A potluck brunch or
dinner is a really affordable way of having a great meal at a low cost to you.
If you ask each of the guests to bring a dish with them for the meal, you will
have a great variety of food. When you plan a meal yourself for the wedding,
there is a good chance that not all of the guests will like what is being
served. This way you are sure that everyone will have their favourite food because
the guests are sure to bring the food they like best.
If some of your guests
have to fly to the location where you are being married, you can contact the
airline to see if you can get a deal on flights. Most airlines have a code that
passengers can use to obtain a discount on the cost of the flight when people
are travelling to special occasions. When you send out your invitations, you
can provide this code to guests that live far away to make it more affordable
for them to attend your
