A wedding is not something you have everyday and is a very special event, however in these economic times more and more couples I speak with are looking for tips on how to save some money on their wedding.
My advice has always been the same. Make a list of your priorities for the day.
What is most important to you?
- Photos look great?
- I look great?
- Food is fabulous?
- Venue is stunning?
- Guests have a great time?
- The ceremony is romantic?
- Relaxed and fun?
- Flowers are breathtaking?
Make you list, put them in order of priority. Book and budget for the most important, then make your compromises on the rest.
Unfortunately I sometimes get couples that leave booking the entertainment till last and although their highest priority was for a fun celebration for themselves and their guests, the money has run out and they are having to compromise on the most important service.
