Many brides or grooms will be looking advice on how to have a great wedding on a budget. Very few couples getting married are fortunate to have a wedding that a young girl would dream of unless they were marring a real prince.
Everybody wants to know where they will be getting married, where the reception will be, who will design Kates' wedding dress, who's invited, who will make the cake, where they are going on honeymoon and who will pay for the big day? Any designer or supplier asked by the happy couple to assist would drop everything to be involved. Unlike Prince William and Kate most couples will be looking for some tips to save money on their wedding day. The average wedding costs around today so any savings would be welcome.
Instead of buying a new wedding dress why not have a wedding dress made for you by some you know? This can often work out much cheaper than a designer dress. Have a look on eBay or in a charity shop. Often the larger charity shops have a designer rail and the clothes that are donated are often in pristine condition. Many of the dresses advertised on eBay will only have been worn once.
Many coules will have lived with their partners before getting married. Many will have already made a home together and will have a toaster, kettle and microwave etc. A wedding list is a great way of asking your guests to contribute towards the wedding day itself. You might like to ask for a bouquet of flowers for the bride, a cake for the reception, the bridesmaid dress, the wedding car, the honeymoon holiday, etc.
Church weddings can be expensive. The vicar will want paying for the church, the choir, the heating and the bell ringers. You may not be reglious. Church weddings are seen as 'very yesterday' for some couples and are not modern and trendy. Registry office weddings are a good alternative. Even more popular for the new millennium, weddings can now take place in public places (providing they have a licence) for example, hotels, a capsule on the London Eye, you can even arrange the ceremony to take place on Concorde and have the reception in the Concorde hanger.
For the Luncheon Reception after the marriage service you could ask the guests to bring a plate of food for a cold buffet and everyone could bring a bottle or two and some beers. You could provide the sparkling wine for the toast and the gifts for the bridesmaid, the best man, the brides' parents and the grooms' parents.
You could hold your evening reception at home, the local pub or at a friend's house. You can always go to your favourite night club and invite your family and friends. You will of course have to share the venue with the other night club revellers.
After having saved money on your wedding day you could splash out on your honeymoon night in an expensive hotel with a four poster bed or you could both fly off for a weeks sunshine honeymoon after the luncheon reception saving you money on not having an evening reception.
Whatever you decide remember it's your big day and you don't need to follow tradition. It is important that you and your partner discuss your plans with both sides of the family. It's your friends and your family that will help to make your wedding day a day to remember.
