Tips for a Great but Low Budget Wedding
It is fairly simple to have a beautiful, yet cheap and inexpensive wedding. The first and utmost important thing is to make sure your happy with your decisions. If it doesn't sit well, you will not like the results. A good place to start is with the dress. Check second hand stores, flea markets, discounts bridal shops, and ebay. You will be able to find a dress under 100.00. A lot of bridal shops also have discounted dresses that have been returned, never picked up, or just forgotten.
Next groomsmen. The same basically applies. The best thing for them is to go to any department store and choose simple and elegant dress attire. Most places like WAl-Mart and K-Mart sell nice shirts and pants for any size man, whether it's the groom or the ring bearer. Decorations are easy. Craft stores are a must. They always have discount bins and wedding supplies. Then you get your friends together for a girls night and put it all together. You'd be amazed with your results.
Now the church. Call around to your local churches, or even your local justice of peace (which may have small fees). The church 80% of the time will do it for free. It is better if your already a member. Then the preacher is more then happy to handle the affair at no cost to you.
As for guests, only invite family and the closet friends.It's small, simple, and intimate. Have everyone bring a pass around dish afterwards for your outside reception which can be held in your own backyard. Everyone has C.D.'s they can bring along and great stereos, ask a friend to be the one in charge of music and now you have a free D.J.And finally the flowers. Check at the local florist shops. You can find sales on the ones that have to go now, and get them for next to nothing. Or request them as a wedding gift. As for the beverages, everyone head to the local bar. Then your not buying all the drinks, and 9 times out of 10, you and your new spouse will drink for free just for bringing all the business.
