Planning A Cheap Wedding

 

The first item you need to think about saving money on when planning a cheap wedding is your wedding dress. Remember that just because it is inexpensive doesn’t mean it can’t be stylish.

One tip is to design a tulle apron to fit over a short wedding dress skirt. Bunch or gather the tulle and attach a ribbon to make a band around the waist. Tie it in a bow. This looks very fashionable worn over a short length skirt. If you do not sew, you can have it done for a low price because it is simple. You can also look around in department stores to find the perfect wedding dress in the regular ladies department of the store. Try a rental store. Also there may be some sentiment in a wedding dress that has been handed down through generations. This is a nice gesture when planning a cheap wedding. You may want to check eBay for dresses too.

Now let’s talk about wedding rings. A ring is the symbol of the union between two people—a symbol of their love. This love will not be tarnished just because you don’t spend a fortune on your wedding ring. Expensive does not make it any more romantic or meaningful. You can buy a gold band from $125 to $400. Gold bands are tasteful. If you are planning a cheap wedding, this is a great option. Silver bands are also trendy and inexpensive. Remember that white gold is cheaper than platinum. You can save by buying ring sets or trios (your and his wedding band and your engagement ring).

Keep a budget list for the items you will need for your wedding. This is essential in planning a cheap wedding. You need to keep you music, flowers, food, photography, invitations and thank you notes, as well as the dress and wedding bands within your budget.
