An excellent way to save money on your wedding is not paying for a photographer. That doesn’t mean you can’t have video and still photos, it just means you need to be creative! Ask the best photographer in your family to do the photography for you, and then drop some hints that it would be great to get a photo album as a wedding gift. It worked for me!
When having an outdoor wedding, the food served can be greatly affected by the weather. If you are planning a wedding during hot weather, ask your caterer if they have experience in serving food when it is hot outside. If the food cannot be kept at the correct temperature, avoid foods that have mayonnaise and any other dishes that will need to be kept cold.
Flowers are a really important part of your wedding and you will want to get fresh flowers delivered to the site of your reception. Also, make sure that the flowers match the theme of your wedding, as well as, the season that you are having your wedding in. This will maximize the overall effect of your nuptial.
If you are planning a wedding, consider keeping your guest list on the smaller side. You can save money by having not so many guests. You can show your small number of guests’ greater details such as large gift baskets, large meals, and limo services. This can be paid for just by reducing your guest list.
Photographs that couples won’t think of can make their wedding album special. If you’re doing the photography, make sure to take photos of all the small things, including the rings, bouquet, invitations, program, tables, cake, food, menu, and lots of candids of the guests arriving. You can find more ideas in wedding magazines as their photography will be top notch.
Understand that the wedding ceremony is the most important part of the day and that the reception is just the celebration of this ceremony. Put a lot of thought into the readings that will be done at your wedding and where you would like to have your reception. This will optimize your overall experience.
The best photographs are candid, so try to have as many unposed photographs taken as possible. My favorite wedding shots are from my reception where guests, and myself and the groom, are laughing and having a great time. These are the memories you want to have for the rest of your married life!
If you are getting married, and you do not know how to dance, you may want to consider taking dance lessons. All eyes are going to be on you during the reception, especially during the first dance, and you want to make sure that you leave a good impression on your guests.
To save money, use seasonal flowers instead of exotic or out of season flowers for your wedding decorations. Flowers that are in season are a lot cheaper to buy. While exotic flowers may look nice, they can be more than double the price as they need to be imported from abroad.
Your head is probably still spinning from all the invitations you need to order and send out, the foods you need to select, the people you need to hire and of course, there is the little matter of your wedding dress!
