How To Save Big Bucks On Your Beach Wedding
So now you've shortened the guest list so that you won't be catering to 300 guests, you're proud of yourself for saving some bucks for what you now dub as the perfect beach wedding. However, you can still save big bucks on many other aspects of your wedding without sacrificing your style.
It's a beach wedding, so you can ditch the full wedding entourage. If you do decide on pursuing this, the laid back quality of a beach wedding immediately changes the wardrobe requirements. A beach wedding entourage will be good to go with mini-dresses, flip flops, chinos, and the like; cheaper than gowns and tuxedoes for a traditional church ceremony. Another great tip would be to scour outside of the bridal stores in searching for your wedding dress and that of the wedding entourage. The store is often more expensive if it has the word “bridal” in its name.
Carry a piece of your family legacy with you for the rest of your life by recycling jewelry. With this budget tip in mind, you also don't have to have designer wedding bands. Moms and grandmothers are often delighted that the next generations will be wearing jewelry that always meant so much to them.
Have a menu fit for a beach wedding venue. This would not only be less tedious for the caterers, but would also prove more beneficial to your budget. You don't have to choose a five course menu for your flip flop clad guests. Embrace casual and laid back by opting for a barbecue or a sit down buffet.
Have your guests role-play dj. This can save on dj's fees and your guests will have fun getting into the act. Downplay one aspect of your beach wedding so you can splurge on the other. You can ditch the gourmet cake so you could hire that top photographer. Simply, think about what is more important to you, and enjoy the freedom to spend more on that. Even if that means ditching the traditional, it's your beach wedding and it's always your call.
Be well read when it comes to wedding ideas and feel free to innovate. Do research well on supplies, suppliers and most importantly: bargains.
Think about seasons, availability of materials, weather and the like to minimize extra expenditure. If you think about how lovely your bouquet would look with this particular flower, you might want to think about the extra buck you would shell out for a special order. It would also be sensible to get to know your beach wedding venue better. This way you could take advantage of what is abundant and cheap in the locality.
In the end, it is always wiser to have a budget, stick to it and live debt-free after getting married. Now that is the perfect beach wedding.
