Where to Spend and Where to Make Savings for Your Wedding

It is easy to get carried away when it comes to your wedding, and you may quickly find that you have spent more than you wanted to or that you have wasted money on elements which are not important to you.

Before you do this and end up breaking your bank account, here is a guide on where you can make savings and what is worth spending more on in the lead-up to your big day.

Spend: The Venue

Your wedding venue is one of the most important elements of your wedding. It sets the tone for the entire day and ensures that all of your guests feel comfortable and have a great first impression of the event.

If you skimp on your wedding venue, you might end up regretting this later, especially if the venue is catering for you, as this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to go somewhere truly special. What’s more, you will see a lot of it, and you are likely to be there for hours as the day goes on.

Your lasting memories of your big day are likely to be of this venue, which shows just how important it is to find wedding celebration venues that are close to your heart—no matter the expense.

Save: The Décor

While extravagant décor might make the venue look lovely, oftentimes, the venue is spectacular enough for your guests to be impressed without having to add heaps of extra décor to it.

Décor can also be unsustainable, and you might find that the majority of it gets thrown in the trash within a couple of hours of using it. To avoid this, why not replace traditional décor for a few flowers that you have arranged yourself?

Spend: The Ring

You are likely to wear the ring every day for the rest of your life. It might be an integral part of the wedding ceremony, but it is also a functional item that will need to match your outfits and stay on your body 24/7 for many years to come. This means it is important to find a suitable ring that is entirely practical and yet delicately beautiful, highlighting your bond to the world and making you feel constantly connected to your partner.

You should always be there to pick the ring out rather than allow them to choose as this is too expensive a purchase to be relying on being lucky that they will choose one that you love.

Save: The Dress

The dress is the part of the wedding that most people dream about, yet it does not have to be expensive, especially since you will usually only wear it once. You might even decide to hire a dress or get one second-hand.

Another option is to adapt a costume or repurpose a dress that was not specifically made for brides. You might even go for a different type of outfit altogether in a non-traditional color, such as a jumpsuit.

This will give your wedding attire a unique and flattering spin while saving you a large amount of money.
