Nobody wants to have a cheap wedding. As much as possible, we want to have a great wedding that will be the highlight of everyone’s conversation for years and years to come. But if budget is one of your major concerns, this may also hinder in bringing a great wedding since you will have to work your cash flow out before you can bring a great wedding. This may be tricky and it will definitely need a lot of patience, discipline and effort to create a wedding that is worth everyone’s attention.
Careful timing can truly reduce the reception costs. To be able to get yourself with the proper budget, better avoid having a very short ceremony that will fall run into lunchtime. Some guests may expect brunch even if you start your wedding at 10:00 AM most will still expect that you will serve lunch to them.
You could plan the wedding at around 1:30 PM and have the reception at around 3:00 PM. You can have your guests going back home at around 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM especially if there are no real activities and socializing being done by guests.
If you are going to have a wedding in the evening, the same concept follows. If you are going to have your wedding at around 7:00 PM this will mean that you can serve dessert since this is after dinner in most regions.
You should also make some things for the wedding yourself. If you can know a thing or two with flowers and bouquets, then you can consider doing the bouquets yourself. You can also ask some of your bridesmaids to do their own bridesmaid bouquets. But it is also necessary that when you do some DIY and will need the help of others, it is essential to create some tutorial for them so that you can have great DIYs and then give them great bridesmaids jewelry sets to just add to their enthusiasm in helping you out.
If you are really tight on the budget, you can consider marrying on a Friday evening. This may not be practical for most of your out of town guests and even to your guests who will need to take an additional day off to their work so that they can attend your wedding. But if you do consider marrying on that day, you can get additional discounts on sites and services.
You should also plan a smaller budget than what you can really afford even with your custom bridal jewelry set. If your wedding expenses goes the same with the wedding cost, then that is great. But if some of the wedding cost goes beyond the figure of your expected budget, then you can still work it out since you still have some additional funds with you.
