Budget Weddings - Relationships - Weddings

<p>With the average cost of a wedding, at $27,000, which does not include the honeymoon, unless the tab is going to be covered by your parents, you might be considering a budget wedding.</p>

<p>A budget wedding can be very beautiful and no one, but you, needs to know that you've elected to cut costs in areas that average the most money. To save on attendant costs, you could elect to have a Maid of Honor, one Bridesmaid, a Best Man and Groomsman. Have your wedding on a week-day, instead of the week-end. Most costs are lower for week-day weddings. With so many 'how-to' videos on You Tube, you could watch a video on floral design then, purchase and arrange your own floral arrangements and bridal bouquet. Make your own bridal veil. wedding invitations and thank you notes. Hire a free lance photographer and purchase the minimum package, be sure to be specific about what photographs you would like included in the minimum package. Ask your attendants to take 'spontaneous' photographs during the reception and be sure they take photos of each other. These are often the best photos as you can get some really candid pictures and capture the best memories.For the reception,
you could limit champagne for the wedding party only, with a less expensive wine for the other guests. Instead of a full course meal, opt for a buffet style light lunch, especially if you hold your wedding late morning or early afternoon, or if your wedding is theme based.Instead of hiring a band or an expensive D.J., rent some DJ equipment and enlist the help of some of your friends, to help provide the entertainment. You won't usually have to pay a friend to help out but, don't forget to get a 'thank you' gift to show your appreciation.</p>

<p>Even a budget wedding is going to cost money, so as soon as you become engaged, decide how much you want to spend on your wedding and when that day will be. With a figure and a date, calculate how much you'll need to set aside every payday, to cover all of the expenses that will be incurred. As a couple, making these decisions should be done together. You can discuss all the ways that you can save toward your wedding budget, as well as what kind of a budget wedding you would both most like to have. Be sure that it is all laid out though, otherwise he might be hoping for a Star Wars theme while you envision Steel Magnolias.Each wedding budget is different, but the basic ideas are the same. Depending on the budget you have settled on, putting aside 15 to 20% of your income each pay period is both practical and something that can be achieved, with a few small sacrifices. Remember that the longer you are engaged, the bigger your wedding budget. While you're planning your budge
t wedding, be careful not to overlook your honeymoon. Even a week-end at a nearby resort can cost more than you might think, so decide where you'd like to go, find out how much it will cost and include it in your budget.</p>

<p>A beautiful wedding doesn't have to put you years in debt, with a reasonable budget and some careful planning. If a Southern Plantation style wedding is out of your price range, what is the next best and less costly alternative? Planning your budget wedding, designing and creating the florals, making your veil and anything else you can do to stay within budget can be as memorable as your wedding day itself. You can have the added satisfaction of knowing that your wedding day was special, because of you cared to make it so.
