A Tight Budget Wedding can be just as beautiful and memorable as one with no budget limits. The difference is you have to work a little harder at it and use your imagination.
Wedding Invitations can be hand written by whoever you know that has good penmanship. The trick is to lay a lined piece of paper under what you are writing on.
Dresses can be bought at Thrift Shops, at 'David's Bridal' (great prices), or hand made by a seamstress, it helps if there is one in the family. Check them all out and see which fits into your tight budget as well as time constraints.
Photos can be taken by everyone if you plan ahead. Hand out disposable cameras and ask them to turn them in after the reception. Ask around, you probably know someone that has a video camera.
Flowers too can be saved on in a Tight Budget Wedding. Speak with your florist and tell her your budget. Your bouquet is the most important piece. Your bridesmaids can carry a single stem flower giving a touch of elegance with minimal costs.
The church flowers could be two simple altar arrangements using nine stems of gladiolas in each arrangement. They are a tall, multi-bloom flower that goes a long way. Glads come in many colors but if you want t different color, ask your florist to order white glads then spritz the center of each bloom with the color of your choice. After the church service you can move them to your reception area.
The reception can be simple - cake, coffee and punch. Check around for where to order your wedding cake, sometimes the local grocery store is the least expensive for this item.
Plan ahead as much as you can, compare prices with three or more store and ENJOY planning for Your Big Day!
til next time
