However, having a limited budget does not necessarily mean that you are limited as to how special your wedding day can be. There are many ways to stay in control of your budget and still achieve the wedding of your dreams.

Contemplate purchasing your wedding invitations online or via mail order . They offer a great choice and the prices are usually unbeatable.

Consider hiring your wedding dress rather than going to the unnecessary expense of purchasing one, after all, its not likely that you will be wearing it again. You could also try shopping at a wedding outlet store, you might find some good deals here and save a fortune against retail prices, remember cheap dresses aren’t necessarily bad dresses. Keep your eye out for bridal accessories here too.

To save money when planning flowers for your wedding, choose flowers can be sourced locally and are in season. Opt for simple, readily available flowers or at least use them for the greater part of the bouquets and arrangements.

Arrange a Champagne reception rather than a sit down meal, but remember to time the reception accordingly to make sure that none of the wedding party expect a meal. Late afternoon would be most appropriate.

Also, find an inexpensive photographer and book them as far in advance as possible. Ask them to take the minimum number of shots that they will consider in one booking and buy some disposable cameras for your reception. Place one at each table and draw on these pictures to complete your wedding album, its probable that many of your guests will find taking the pictures entertaining!
