Make It The Wedding Of Your Dreams
Your wedding should be a day about you and your partner
. Letting others get too involved in the planning process (even if they are paying for it) will only result in a day that doesn't reflect the two of you. This article has ideas on how you can make your wedding your own, and keep an eye on the budget at the same time.
If you are going to be spending a lot of money on various items for your wedding, use a rewards credit card. This card will allow you to earn a lot of points, which you can use on the flight for your honeymoon. Make sure to pay on time to avoid interest fees.
If finances are tight, consider a themed wedding. Many couples do not have the money to spend on an open bar. You can make that a non-issue by holding a themed event that hides the fact that you are not offering a wide variety of alcoholic beverages. For example, if you choose an Italian themed reception, you can offer red and white wine with the meal.
A fashionable and chic color palette is the best way to visually tie all aspects of your wedding and rehearsal together. The most effective color palette will always include at least three distinctive components: a main color, a bold accent color, and a touch of a metallic hue like gold, silver, or platinum.
Discuss sponsorship with vendors who will be servicing your wedding. Many vendors will reduce costs if you allow them to do small things such as their name on the place cards for tables, listing them in the wedding program or perhaps a mention during the reception festivities by the DJ. These small savings can add up quickly.
Carefully select a photographer. You may find a photographer that does not charge you a whole lot to take the photos but he is going to charge you an extreme amount for the prints. Find a photographer that will give you copies of all of the photos that were taken that day. It may cost you a bit of money to get them but it is going to save you a great deal to get the prints made on your own.
When you have family that can offer services that are perfect for your wedding, such as a DJ or baker, do not be afraid to ask for the gift of trade. It can be a tremendous boon to your budget if someone close to you can offer a service as all or part of their wedding gift to you. Just remember that this is a business for them, most likely, and they may have restrictions.
Weddings take a great deal of planning. Therefore, make sure that you do everything you can to get organized! Make sure that everyone knows what their "part" will be, and make sure that things that are ordered and bought will arrive on time. Also, keep up with who will be there and what food you are offering.
Let bridesmaids choose their own dresses. Instead of forcing a certain dress on different body types, dictate the color and leave the rest for them to do. If you want, you can also have veto power over the dress they choose. Giving bridesmaids freedom to choose their own dresses means less money and grief for you.
There is no way to completely get rid of that stressful feeling from planning a wedding. You can, however, take control making sure that you are getting what you want and your partner wants without offending everyone who is trying to help. Use the advice here to make all of these things a reality.
