Getting the most from your budget is one of the biggest challenges to face when planning your wedding day, and knowing how to spend your money for maximum effect can be testing.
We’ve come up with some creative budget wedding planning ideas to help you know where to spend and where to save.
Get crafty and make your own wedding stationery, wedding favours and table centers. Crafting is on trend at the moment and DIY details are everywhere for weddings this season. If you don’t want to print your own invitations then order plain designs and hand embellish them yourself with the addition of some sparkles, ribbons and charms.
Double up on things such as using your favours as table centers. This will save you money and solve the problem of what to do with all the centrepieces after the wedding day.
Borrow things for your wedding day. Ask a friend with a vintage car to drive you to the ceremony, or your auntie if you can borrow her vintage china for floral displays and centrepieces. You could save a small fortune on your budget and add some unique touches to your day.
Look for offers and clearance sales, and have a good rummage around the charity shops. If you’re lucky you’ll find some great wedding stuff at discounted prices. Don’t worry about mixing and matching things either, an artistic license will all add to the uniqueness of your day.
Here are some fantastic venues that won’t break the bank..
