The wedding day is among one of the most important dates you will experience in life, but there is a huge expectation on everyone to produce the most intricate wedding possible and this leads to huge price-tags. There are a few different ways you can control wedding costs. Take heed of the advice that is contained here to bring the wedding budget back under control, while you have a day to remember.
You don't need a big, expensive, flashy wedding cake. Talk to your local bakery owner about something smaller, or pre-cut into individual portions. There are boutiques that will bake fresh cupcakes with very few calories specifically for your event, and deliver them. These boutiques also often have healthy options available such as gluten-free, fruit based fillings instead of frosting, and healthier alternative toppings.
The table centerpieces can be expensive and should be artistically pleasing. Avoid large and complicated centerpieces; choose simple, elegant ones instead. This will allow for the free flow of conversation, as guests will be able to view each other without distraction.
Try to make your wedding day more personal by using elements that symbolize you and your future spouse's relationship and personalities. A theme should be selected that matches the time that you've had together.
If the couple getting married has a strong love for travel, try to incorporate design elements that reflect this in the planning and decoration process. Use a little artistic skill to get your invitations appearing like aged postcards from a far-away land. Vintage luggage, post cards and vacation photos can be part of your wedding decor.
When planning a wedding, alcohol needs to be a consideration as to what type you want to serve, as well as what the costs are going to be. Having an open bar can be very expensive if it stays open for hours. Ask about which alcohol serving options are available through your venue.
One idea is to offer a fusion menu, comprised of contemporary versions of popular menu items. You can also offer desserts, drinks, or edible favors with an ethnic twist.
Open a checking account that is used only for wedding expenses. By knowing exactly how much money you have to work with, it will help you stick to your budget. Start a bank account to save money for a wedding later on in your life.
Take into consideration that you will want to address the topic of religion since it will be a part of your wedding day and the life you're building together. Discuss all aspects of your religion with who you plan on marrying as well as their family too, just so they are comfortable with your beliefs.
Be sure to get some practice dancing while wearing a long skirt to present the most graceful silhouette at your wedding dance. While you may be accustomed to walking or dancing in a dress, this will be something entirely new for your future husband. This helps remove any awkwardness that he might feel, especially if the dress that you wear is puffy.
Try not to become overwhelmed with any part of the wedding planning process, and use the suggestions outlined above, when you need a little advice. There are quite a few resources to help you have the best wedding you possibly can and to make it a perfect day.
