Reduce your wedding budget : the best tips

Your wedding must be unforgettable but you would like it to be affordable. Do you want to save money to reduce your wedding budget? Here are our tips for getting married without ruining yourself.

1. Determine your priorities

Establish a budget. How much do you have? What price are you willing to pay for the different items: invitation card, clothing, bouquets, motorcade, reception area, meals and cakes, drinks, entertainment, honeymoon…? Give priority to those that seem important to you and for which you want to put the price. Give up or reduce the budget for other things. And to help you do so, follow the advice step by step in this article!

2. Change the wedding date

Choose a wedding out of season or in winter. If, in addition, you organise your wedding during the week instead of the weekend, you will benefit from a reduction of up to 20-30% in the rental rate of some reception venues. Plan your wedding well in advance to have time to compare prices, take advantage of great deals and reduce your wedding budget even further.

3. Use the talents of your loved ones

They will be proud to contribute to your wedding. Look among your acquaintances for people gifted in make-up, beauty, a DJ and photographers (amateurs) who have proven themselves, a passionate decorator… They can help you avoid having to pay for the services of a professional.

4. Dare to be original for the meal and the assembled piece

Choose the latest trends by using a food truck with an original look and a gourmet menu. Your wedding budget will be reduced. It was great, original and friendly at the same time!

Order a pork on the spit with different sauces, for example. All you have to do is prepare the garnishes.

If you have always dreamed of a huge double-decker wedding cake, you could also reduce your wedding budget by ordering a partially decorative mounted piece. The lower levels would be made of cardboard or polystyrene with glazing and the upper part would be a real cake to cut. Otherwise, forget the assembled piece and serve a delicious pastry buffet instead.

Let your imagination run wild!

5. Opt for the restaurant

Celebrating your wedding in a restaurant can be financially interesting. Indeed, everything is included in the service, from the dishes to the service, unlike some rentals where you have to bring everything yourself. There will be no room rental, furniture or cutlery. However, you still need a minimum of decoration and ideally, there must be a space to dance.

6. Delegate to a wedding planner

Entrusting the organisation of your wedding to a wedding planner seems like an additional expense. However, wedding planners generally negotiate prices with other providers and thus obtain a preferential rate. This will allow you to have reduced prices that you could not get yourself. In the end, he or she will relieve you of many organisational worries, avoid novice mistakes and allow you to focus on what is important to you. Time is money, isn’t it?

7. The wedding dress at a broken price… or free…

Several online sales sites offer wedding dresses at unbeatable prices. Some online shops like Weddingbuy.co and Persun offer wedding dresses (check out Persun‘s website. If you have the opportunity to do so in terms of timing, take advantage of the sales as well. Choose models from past collections, they are most of the time at half price. Moreover, apart from future brides and newlyweds, no one knows in detail the bridal dress collection of the year!

You can also ask one of your relatives if you can use her wedding dress: your mother, mother-in-law, sister-in-law,… Sometimes the dress will require small adjustments to bring it up to date and to your size. However, I am sure that the person you ask for her dress will be flattered!

You may also consider renting your wedding dress instead of buying it.

Or, buy it second-hand….

8. Buy second-hand

Buy second-hand instead of buying everything new. It is economical and will appeal to all those who care about the environment. Decoration, photo decoration, wedding outfits… Give a second life to all these objects which are only used for one day: buy in second hand everything you need and sell the excess after your wedding. You may find your happiness at Vinted or you may be able to make future brides happy by selling what’s left of your wedding.

9. Reduce the guest list.

If you want to reduce your budget, reduce the number of guests. Invite only the people who are really close to you and not the Auntie you haven’t seen in 10 years or the colleague you never talk to. To avoid offending them, you may want to offer a drink at work or organise a time to share photos and videos a few days after the ceremony.

10 errors to avoid when choosing your wedding gown

Everyone will be watching you on your wedding day. You want your dress to enhance you and make you feel comfortable. The choice is a delicate one. Discover the 10 mistakes to avoid when choosing your wedding dress.

1. Bring too many people to your fittings

Choose one or two people maximum to accompany you. Choose people who have taste, honesty and constructive remarks. Avoid people who will confuse their own wedding dress desires with yours.

The point of taking someone with you during the fitting is to help you make your choice. Avoid having your whole gang of girlfriends or the whole family accompany you. Indeed, you might have too many divergent ideas that would complicate your choice.

2. Opt for a dress that doesn’t fit your size because you think you’re losing weight

The dress must fit you perfectly. Bet on your current size. If you are thinking of going on a diet, tell your advisor who will manage to adjust the dress to your size if you have indeed lost a few centimetres. It is generally easier to shrink a dress than to enlarge it.

This dress must correspond to your style as well as to the wedding you organize (casual, formal, classic, natural, bohemian,…). It is also important that you feel comfortable in your dress and that it fits your budget.

3. Wear inadequate underwear for fittings

You will spend your time undressing… Wear underwear that you will not be afraid to show and in which you feel beautiful. No more underwear that has defects (discoloured, perforated, folkloric, not to your size). Ideally, wear underwear that is discreet and comfortable.

Take your dress into account: wear a strapless bra if you are a bra fan and a suitable bra if you wear a backless bra.

If possible, wear the bra you have chosen for the wedding day. If you don’t have it during the first fitting, at least try on the bras you will wear on D-Day. Indeed, the necklines and halter wedding dresses are often more open than for other clothes and you need to be comfortable with your underwear. You will thus avoid unpleasant surprises on the big day when you get dressed. (I personally know brides who had to give up their bras because they hadn’t tried it with the dress and it was really too visible)

4. Not respecting the budget

It’s easy to get carried away when it comes to THE dress for your wedding. However, try to respect your budget and also think about a budget for accessories (shoes, jewellery, sailing, etc.). To determine the budget for your dress and other wedding items, follow the advice in this article step by step to ensure that your wedding is the one you really want.

5. Choose a dress that is not adapted to your morphology

You know your morphology and you know what suits you or does not suit you: mermaid dress, A-shaped, princesse or with sleeves… Take this into account when choosing your wedding dress so that it enhances you.

6. Renounce comfort

Choose a dress where you will be comfortable because you will wear it for almost 24 hours. You need to be able to walk and dance in your dress.

And above all, put on comfortable shoes, it will be a long day and before the D-day, train at home to soften the shoes and take spare shoes with you in your Survival Kit.

7. Choose your dress at the last minute

Doing it at the last minute limits the chances of finding the dress of your dreams. You may also be more stressed and buy at any price or a dress that will not satisfy you.

As soon as you have chosen the theme of the wedding, start looking for your outfit. Find out more about specialized sites. Look for ideas on Pinterest. A minimum of 6 months is required to find or order your outfit.

8. Choose a dress style that is out of sync with the wedding theme or season

If your dress does not match your wedding theme, you may feel out of step. Indeed, if you wear a very formal dress for a casual wedding or on the contrary a very casual dress in a very classic wedding decor, you will not feel at home. Avoid wanting to shine with a thousand sequins for a country wedding or, on the contrary, improvise yourself “barefoot bride” in a castle. Lace gives a romantic note, silk seduces with its elegance and the one with a bohemian soul chooses linen or crocheted lace.

If there is a religious ceremony, also remember to ask the officiant: depending on the religion and the officiant, some clothes may not be allowed (bare shoulders,…). Sometimes it is enough to add an accessory to your outfit such as a bolero or stole to make it suitable for the ceremony. You can then remove it later to wear the dress you have chosen.

9. Neglecting details

Have yourself photographed by taking detailed images of the neckline, back, tail. This can be useful for the later choice of accessories, hairdressing, shoes, lingerie.

10. Choose a dress that doesn’t suit you

You need to like your wedding dress, you need to love it.

The best thing would be to choose it to please your mother or someone else who accompanied you during the fittings.

Finally, your main asset being your dress, don’t overload your outfit with countless accessories. Instead, rely on a few well-chosen accessories and keep a low profile on the rest.
