Tips for planning a simple wedding:
Set your wedding budget with money that you already have in a bank account. No one, under any circumstance, should go into debt for a wedding. If you only have $500 to spend on a wedding, then plan a $500 wedding. If your parents are paying for the wedding and say that they have $5,000 for your wedding, then plan a $5,000 wedding. Best case scenario, spend less than you have budgeted.
When choosing bridesmaids dresses, remember that the dresses will only be worn the day of the wedding. (No matter how many times a bride tries to convince her bridesmaids otherwise.) Asking your bridesmaids to spend hundreds of dollars on a dress and matching shoes might not be the best way to treat your friends. Consider letting them choose their own dresses, or buy them matching floor length skirts and ask them to buy coordinating tops in any style they want. OR Keep your attendants minimal. Have a maid/matron of honor and a flower girl and that’s it. Pick the color and let the maid/matron pick her dress. This way you know they will wear it again and it will fit in her budget.
When hiring a wedding photographer, work with someone who will shoot your wedding digitally. You won’t have to pay for printing proofs.
When choosing groomsmen tuxedos, consider letting them wear their own if they have them instead of forcing them to rent.
Be sure to ask your wedding venue their policy on flowers and musicians. Many churches require that you leave altar flowers after your ceremony and pay for their staff musicians even if you don’t use them. If there are other weddings on the same day work with the other couples who were getting married on the same day at your venue and split the costs of two large arrangements that worked with all of your flowers.
Be willing to think outside the box. You and your future spouse are unique individuals and your wedding should reflect that. Just because everyone else has their wedding a certain way, doesn’t mean that you have to. Be sure to manage guest expectations, however.
Consider having wedding flowers that are locally grown and in season — you’ll save a lot of money if they don’t have to be flown in from the tropics.
Remember that your marriage is what is most important, not your wedding day. Keeping this in perspective will save you time and stress when it comes to making decisions about minute details.
If you choose to have party favors, consider something edible, useful or consumable.
Keep in mind that even if your cake is destroyed or your friends start a fight or your organist doesn’t show up and everyone has to sing a cappella that at the end of the day, you’re still getting married. Most important don’t stress what you can’t change or control on your Magical Wedding Day sometimes you have to go with the flow and JUST ENJOY!!!
