Whatever you do when you get engaged, do not watch wedding television shows! You will quickly lose all sense you have and start shopping for $5,000 wedding dresses and $10,000 cakes. Instead, realize that you can have a very low budget wedding that is still the wedding of your dreams.
One of the best ways to save a huge amount on your wedding is having it during the off-season. The prime months for weddings are May-September. Plan a winter or early spring wedding to save money on your ceremony and reception. An added advantage to an off-season wedding is that it is unlikely that your wedding will fall on the same day as someone else's, avoiding an unhappy predicament for guests.
Don't be afraid to negotiate! Wedding vendors are there to serve you. Even if their prices are set, you can often negotiate for a lower price or free extras for booking in the off-season or on a day other than Saturday. For instance, wedding packages may include free champagne for the head table, free soda for guests, a gift-opening room, free suites for the bridal party, or any other perks.
However, the absolute most important part of having a low budget wedding is setting your budget early in your planning. If you do not have limits in place, you will quickly spend two or three times more than you planned. Figure out who can afford to pay what, and create your budget from there.
Finally, don't let the little things ruin your big day. If you get caught up in colored napkins, expensive favors, and chair covers, you will spend more money than you had planned and you will have more on your plate to worry about. Keep it simple and you will have the wedding day of your dreams!
