Many
couples are shocked to learn that today, the average wedding
costs over £30,000. But, it does not need to cost
quite that much. You can have your dream wedding for a fraction
of the price if you use good organizational skills, ingenuity,
flexibility, and enlist the help of friends and family.
Many componenets go into planning a wedding day. Many details
need to be completed and intertwined to create not only
a wedding but a dream wedding as the bride and groom pictured
it.
Today, many marrying couples pay for their own weddings
so setting a realistic wedding budget and sticking to it
is a must if you are to keep the cost of your wedding within
your budget. There are many options to choose from and many
ways to save. If the bride's family is paying for the costs
then its equally important to ensure that budgets are adhered
to, even if dad's pockets are quite deep!
SEARCH
THE INTERNET
Search the Internet thoroughly and you can save time and
money. The World Wide Web provides you with information
and resources for making purchases on-line. Many wedding
websites provide links to wedding related businesses that
could be your answer to quality products and services.
A wedding day offers you a series of wedding planning articles
that concentrate on how to choose and work with wedding
vendors, professionals and service providers, a wedding
resource directory, a wedding planning checklist and a discount
bridal mall where you save money on wedding gifts and accessories.
SET
YOUR PRIORITIES AND YOUR BUDGET
As you plan your wedding create three categories:
• Must have
• Optional
• Nice to have.
Base your decisions on availability, on your budget and
on your ingenuity. Once you decide what your priorities
are, use your ingenuity and creativity. Involve yourselves,
your friends and your families in at least some of the preparations.
Loved ones will appreciate the opportunity to contribute
to your happy day, have fun and save you money. Choose vendors
and service providers who can assure that your priorities
will be met and that yours will be the wedding you dreamed
of.
