The sky is the limit when it comes to wedding spending. However, most brides have a budget and do not want to kick off their lifetime of wedded bliss in debt. A bride could easily blow through $3000 on her dress alone, but a more savvy spender can plan the whole event for that price. With a little planning and discipline and a lot of creativity, a white wedding (while staying in the black) really is attainable.
Throw a Dog Wedding
Dog weddings are fast becoming a hot new trend for animal lovers. Once a tradition solely available to the upper class and celebrities, this trend has become a hot commodity for all. If you love your dog like a child why not throw them a festive party with all their friends and parents?
Get a Loan to Pay for a Wedding
These days more and more couples are paying for their own wedding, and they are turning to lenders for loans so they can have the wedding day of their dreams.
Plan a Wedding in 5 Months
The majority of wedding planning books and magazines will swear you need at least a year to plan a wedding. But you can plan a wonderful wedding in 5 months or less. Yes, you'll have to act quickly. And if you've got your heart set on a princess affair complete with horse-drawn carriages and twittering bluebirds, you'll probably have to tone things down a bit. Still, as long as you're organized and keep a realistic outlook, you can have the wedding of your dreams 5 months from the day you said yes.
Plan a Cheap But Nice Wedding
Every bride has a dream for the kind of wedding she wants. You have a dream for your special day. You can have a lovely, memorable wedding, even on a strict budget. You will know you have planned a cheap wedding but it will be one of the nicest anyone has seen if you plan ahead. Friends can make your cake, gather together to make reception foods and have a decorating party the night before the wedding day. It is so very important to set a specific budget and stay with it. A ten thousand-dollar dress is gorgeous, but a wedding gown made by your mother or your grandmother's gown will be priceless and a major boost to your reception budget. You can plan and have a wonderful wedding for less than the cost of another bride's wedding cake.
