This may not be your dream, but it can happen to some brides and grooms as they are in the process of their wedding planning. Couples may start planning their wedding with a great start since they know they have the right budget in mind, but if one of the couple loses his or her job, then that would turn the wedding planning into a different direction.
Couples can still have a great wedding, but, of course, there would still be some setbacks. You may have to adjust and cancel some of the vendors that you have booked to fit a newer budget. As weddings normally are one of the most recession-proof industries, they are still getting smaller as the economy and those engaged couples struggle. Of course, it is not that easy to begin a newer budget and to even start planning especially after a layoff. Problems may even arise especially if you have already sent the wedding invitations and you already the number of guests that are attending.
You can sell your designer wedding shoes online, there are some wedding sites like WeddingBee.com that can help you with problems such as this, and then you can purchase a more practical pair of wedding shoes on eBay. You can also forfeit the professional videographer you booked and just find someone who can do the videography for the wedding. You can also purchase a more practical wedding dress. Even purchase a pre-owned dress on eBay. There are so many designer wedding dresses on eBay that retails for more than $3,000 that a lot of sellers offer to even $500.
If the layoff happened before the wedding planning takes place, then it would be even to your advantage since you can do the necessary adjustments without causing you much stress. Most of the time, brides are cutting back mostly in wedding favors, rehearsal dinner costs, and catering. But the easiest way to cut down on the expenses is by trimming down the guest list. You can also do the wedding on a Friday or on a Sunday as a daytime event, which is significantly cheaper.
For your wedding jewelry, one great site that you could also purchase them is at SilverlandJewelry.com since they offer a wide variety of designs and styles that will really not hit the bank. You can even purchase some bridesmaid jewelry gifts for your bridesmaids if you still have the right budget or you can just show it to them so that they can do their own selection.
Purchasing your paper goods for the invitations, save the dates, programs, maps and everything can also be bought online. A good side that can be recommended is the site Etsy.com. They are really affordable and the designs for their papers are totally unique and creative.
Keep in mind that even with layoffs happening here and there, it is still possible to achieve your dream wedding. You will just need to have the right mindset that things are possible. Do not feel bad about the layoffs that are happening since it is still not the end of the world. You still have your wedding to take care of and that is more important.
