If you’ve spent any amount of time looking for a suitable wedding venue, chances are that you’ve considered the traditional banquet hall or country club. These are popular for a reason – the can be gorgeous if they are done up right. Unfortunately, they can also be the most expensive venue choices there is, and since they are quite popular, they can also be difficult to book. In order to save some money, you’re going to need to be a bit more creative when it comes to wedding ideas.
Instead of a banquet hall, look into any local historical homes in the area. Not only will they be beautiful, but they will also have all the facilities you need to hold a great reception, including a full kitchen. Many of these sites will also have a backyard or garden area where you can set up a tasteful tent and plenty of lights. Best of all, because venues like this are more out of the ordinary, they can often come a lot cheaper than your mainstream banquet hall.
Another solid tip is to make sure you know in your mind what kind of wedding you want to have. If it’s a traditional wedding, then the historic home or manor idea will work beautifully. But if you’re dreaming of listening to the waves crash against the rocky shore during your seaside wedding, then your planning will be completely different. With a seashore wedding, you will most likely want to have the meal in a dockside restaurant or similar location since people don’t want to have the hot sun beating down on them all day long. The timing can be affected as well, since you might want to perform the ceremony during the late morning and serve your guests lunch.
Cutting corners can also save a lot of money without impacting the wedding too much. Wedding flowers can cost a fortune. Instead of having a traditional bouquet, try a few simple flowers dressed up with some baby’s breath and ferns, and tied together with a tasteful ribbon. Your bridesmaids can hold a single bloom rather than a full bouquet, which is classy while saving you lots of money on flowers. Strings of Christmas lights make excellent inexpensive decorations, and if you shop shortly after Christmas, you can get them for next to nothing. These are just some of the wedding ideas for flowers that can save you a fortune.
Clothing is another area that usually costs a bundle. Opt for a simple yet tasteful wedding dress and get a seamstress to fix it up and add your own flair. For the men, get them dressed in black suits and forgo those costly tuxedos. Adding special touches like a silk tie or a vest will make them look great at a fraction of the cost.
