Cost Saving Tips When Planning A Wedding
A wedding is a joyous occasion that is meant to be enjoyed but spending too much on the wedding can jeopardize a couple's future.
By setting a budget you will ensure your financial future and keep yourself from going overboard during emotional times like planning a wedding. When you're deciding how to allocate your funds your budget will let you determine where there is some wiggle room and where you can't afford to pay more than planned.
Take a wedding dress for example, this can be one of the mostly costly items in a wedding. No matter how beautiful the dress is, you will only wear it once, so it may not be a good idea to break the bank on one time use. There are many lovely, affordable gowns to choose from so it's not always necessary to spend thousands on a wedding dress.
Be sure to give yourself plenty of time when shopping for a wedding dress. Look online. Visit some stores and find a silhouette that flatters your body. That way you'll be more comfortable selecting a dress if you find something you like online that is selling for a discount. Once you find a dress you like, a good way to save money is to skip the veil or borrow one. You can also choose inexpensive shoes since the dress will likely hide them anyway.
Scaling back on your wedding accessories is a great way to keep your wedding budget in control. There are many traditional wedding accessories that can be borrowed, rented or eliminated and save you money.
For your wedding jewelry, you don't necessarily have to spend a lot. Pearls and gemstones are a great option. They are beautiful and will look good on your wedding day. They are less expensive than diamonds and can be worn often.
Another cost saving tips is to shop for your wedding needs in the off season. If you're getting married in the summer, try looking through last summer's dresses when they're on sale in the fall. You can get some great discounts that way. Another cost saver is to shop sample sales.
Sure, it takes time and effort to look around for the best prices for your wedding but you will be rewarded in the end with a healthy bank account and less worry when you start your life together.
