“It’s your wedding day, you deserve nothing less than the best.” You have probably heard this line a lot of times and now that you’re next in line to face the altar, do you really know what you want for your special day? When you think about it, how can you even measure “the best”? Is it by splurging a lot of money to get all the fancy stuff for your wedding day?
In any wedding, sticking to your budget is imperative. You wouldn’t really want to start your married life with financial problems just because you wanted your wedding to be grand. The most important thing is that you are with the person you love and all the special people in your life are present on your wedding day. And surely, as you look back through the pictures captured by your Perth wedding photographers, you can say that your “big” day wasn’t really that luxurious, but it was all worth it.
So, if you’re saving for the future, you can use the following steps to have a budget-friendly yet memorable wedding:
1 Know what you want. You should determine whether you want a formal or casual ceremony or if you like to have a themed wedding. By knowing all these details beforehand, you will be able to make an appropriate budget.
2 Find a convenient location. Who says weddings should be held in deluxe hotels or other expensive venues? You can have an outdoor wedding in a park, lake or even your backyard. You will have an instant alfresco ambience that your guests will enjoy and you wouldn’t need any backdrops for the breathtaking natural beauty is enough for everyone’s eyes to feast on.
3 Go for inexpensive or rented attire. You don’t have to spend a fortune for your wedding dress. A practical option is to search outlet shops and clearance stores for your wedding dress, as well as the bridesmaids’ and flower girls’ dresses. Rental shops also offer a wide selection of dresses you can choose from. Whether bought or rented, you will still look gorgeous in your wedding dress and it will show in your wedding photos [http://www.peteredwardsphoto.com.au/gallery].
4 Find affordable catering services. If you decide on an outdoor wedding, a convenient and fun option is to hold a barbecue or potluck wedding reception. You can also search for affordable catering services by opting for one that is less in demand.
5 Make personalised wedding favours. Check out some DIY sites that can guide you in making creative favours and souvenirs that are easy on the pocket.
If you plan on having a budget-friendly wedding, then these ideas are very useful. However, it is still important to invest in Perth wedding photography services so that every memorable detail of your special day can be captured.
