If you are looking to plan a frugal but beautiful wedding follow these tips and still have an amazing an unforgettable wedding:
1. Make your event more intimate by only inviting those who you really like to share with one of the most important days in your life. If you have a second thought about that person or you feel obligated then do not include it.
2. Ask your friends and family to contribute with your wedding instead of giving you a gift. Do you have a florist in your family or as a friend? A singer? Maybe a pastry chef? Your loved one talent can make you save a lot of money.
3. Hold the ceremony at a public park, the beach or at your own backyard, renting a space can be very expensive.
4. Do the catering yourself or with the help of family and friends.
5. Keep it simple with the flowers, and combined them with greenery and candles to get a simple and romantic look.
6. Talk to your vendors and ask them for better rates in exchange for referrals
7. Plan ahead of time to get the best prices, remember stores carry different sales through out the year so if you know what you want you can take advantage of this.
8. Choose affordable wedding rings
9. Involve your closest friends and family in the preparations
10. Be relaxed :)
