Even more Ways to Save Money While Planning a Wedding
Shop Clearance
If you are willing to be open minded with your wedding dress and your wedding party attire, you can save a considerable amount of money by hitting the clearance racks at bridal stores.
A few years ago, my sister in law was getting married and wanted her colors to be white/black/teal. We went shopping at David’s Bridal and found teal bridesmaid dresses at $30 each!! Talk about a steal!
Change Your Venue Ideas
I got mArried at a park and it cost $0 to reserve the space. ZERO. It was a lovely park with a beautiful surrounding (no roads nearby, etc), so it was perfect for my nature themed wedding. Of course, I’ve been married for a long time now and I know that some parks do charge rent for reserving a section, but oftentimes it’s in the $100 range. No where near the thousands you have to pay out for some venues.
Find a New(ish) Photographer
Hiring a new(ish) photographer can mean a savings of THOUSANDS of dollars. Don’t be afraid of a newer photographer though. I know a lot of AMAZING photographers that aren’t actually photographers. With the explosion of Instagram, photography is a huge hobby and a booming start up business for many people. Just because someone is new to the photography business doesn’t mean that they won’t be a great photographer.
