2009 is nearing an end and 2010 is about to begin. With any luck the New Year will usher in a decade of economic recovery where Brides and Grooms can plan a wedding without all the stress of worrying about whether they can afford this or that or have to pick and choose what they can spend the money on. If 2009 has taught us anything it would have to be how to live with Champaign taste on a beer income without having to forgo any of the amenities. Nevertheless there are ways to shave expenses and still have the wedding of your dreams.
One way future brides can make her bridal accessories more affordable without having to give up that element of elegance is using hair combs, barrettes and hair pins instead of the long veil or the elaborate headpiece. You can find hair combs, barrettes and hair pins that are elegantly designed and can be worn again after the wedding for special occasions.
Another way brides can save some money on their dream wedding is silk flowers. The cost of real flowers for bouquets and decorations can be astronomical. Silk flower arrangements are beautifully arranged and will last a lifetime. Not only will silk flowers look like real flowers but they can be used again afterwards for home décor as well as make a wonderful keepsake for the Mothers of the Bride and Groom and all the bridal attendants.
Reception costs can really mount up when it is all said and done. There is the food, the decorations, the cake, the alcohol (if you decide to have any) and the music. Now one way to save some money on the music is to have a DJ instead of a live band. With a DJ you get to play the music you want and not just what the band knows how to play. With a DJ you can play music all night long vs. a band who takes breaks after each set and will usually only play for a couple of hours unless you want to pay them more. With regard to alcohol (if you decide to have any) you may want to consider a cash bar. Or you can also decide to serve alcohol for just a couple of hours say at meal time. Either way is acceptable and can really save on the expenses.
There is no doubt about it that weddings can be costly. However by incorporating some of these tips in your wedding planning will help to eliminate some of the expenses. In today's economy saving just a little bit helps.
