Re: Cheap Wedding Ideas

Here are some tips:
1. Ask for a discount if you order all your bridal dresses and accessories from one store.
2. Instead of using flower bouquets, consider carrying candles, books, bibles, a single flower trimmed with ribbon streamers, wicker baskets or a decorated fan.
3. Use balloon bouquets instead of flower bouquets for decorations. Balloons and helium are a fraction of the cost of flowers, yet still look festive. They come in a multitude of colors and you can dress them up with ribbon streamers.
4. Look for cake toppers in a craft store or grocery stores. They are usually cheaper than getting them directly from a cake decorating place. Also, if you are a crafty person or know someone who is, create your own cake topper. They are pretty simple to make.
5. Reuse your pew markers to decorate doorknobs or other areas of your reception site.

!Find a venue such as a park or garden that is already lush and beautiful.
!Avoid holding your wedding in February when flower prices are at an annual high due to Valentine's Day.
!Talk to party rental suppliers about renting large potted plants such as tropical palms or ficus. They visually fill a lot of space, and will help frame your ceremony site or warm up your reception. Best of all, renting a potted plant is far cheaper than buying large flower arrangements. Also, you may consider purchasing these large plants and using them in your home afterwards to get more use out of them.

One way to save money from your wedding is by creating your own wedding favors. It's more personal and can save you a lot of money. That's we did on my sister's wedding as well the guests were very happy. We also made her wedding invitation and wedding cake. The reception was also held at our garden so we did save a lot of money.

Bridal Shops. Yes, bridal shops have sales; and, even better, Discount Bridal Shops. Try to hit them in the off-season, if you can. The dress you saw back in June could be on sale in September/October.

Good tips given here. I think doing marriage at the court would cost much less than doing at any venue. If you want to marry at the particular venue than you should prepare your budget and all the planning as per your budget. Purchase bridle dress from the shop and avoid the showroom where the prices will be higher.
