We all dream of what our perfect wedding day will contain. Once we’ve found our Prince or Princess, we look forward to our wedding day and to be able to live out the dreams for real. However unfortunately for many of us when this time arrives, we realise we just can’t afford what have so long dreaming of.
But if this is the case then don’t despair because no matter how low your budget is, you can still have the perfect day to remember and treasure for the rest of your lives together.
I suppose the ultimate low budget wedding is the bride and groom going to the registry office and marrying without ceremony and only inviting a small number of witnesses.
This approach will not appeal to most, hardly anybody wants to get married without at least close family members and friends present. However many do take this spartan approach to their wedding ceremony and go on to live happily ever after with each other so it is not to be sniffed at.
It certainly is the cheapest way to get married with only the registrar or marriage celebrant’s fees to be met.
Most happy couples do at least want to put on a semblance of a show to mark the happy event for their guests. This should be done to a budget, because what starts off as a modest plan, can soon spiral and become too expensive.
There are many ways to keep cost under control.
One of the key things to do is to avoid expensive venues. By picking venues regularly used for weddings you will very often be paying an inflated price.
There are many places, castles, halls, the best hotels, which make excellent venues for wedding parties; however this is reflected in the price, with most of the above charging mega-money to hire out their facilities. Though these will undoubtedly be stunning and worthy places to hold your party you do have to be realistic. If it’s beyond your budget you really have to ask yourself is it worth it?? Would you really have a better time at a place you can’t afford than one you can just for the kudos of being able to say you held your wedding reception there??
The logical answer to that is no, it is people not the place that make wedding parties memorable. So choose somewhere you can easily afford, no matter how tight your budget is, you will be able to easily find a venue that will do you proud.
