But the thing here is, to have a budget wedding does not mean to compromise the quality of wedding you will be having. It's all up to you on how to make a memorable wedding and how smart you plan for it.



There are many options on how to cut cost of your wedding expenditures. However, there are few things you should consider so that the quality of your wedding will not be sacrificed.

Your wedding venue should not cost you a fortune. If you think you could save money by having your wedding in your house, then feel free to plan for it. Just make sure your house is comfortable enough to gather around as well as can accommodate a number of guests. Of course, you don't want to provide uncomfortable space for your guests, rather a good one so that they would stay longer. After all, how could your wedding day become memorable if your guests will be leaving too early? And finally, try to find good matching venue to your theme.

Another thing you need to consider is your wedding photography and/or videography. If you are on a tight budget, you don't wan to pay a professional photographer or videographer thousands of dollar just for photos. You can cut cost of your wedding photos by asking a friend or relative to take your wedding pictures, however, this is not always a good idea. But if you really want to cut your budget but still want to have quality photos that will re-live your special day, you may try asking around from some photography clubs.

It is always a good practice to pay them first to do your pre-wedding pictures or videos. If you are satisfied with their work, you can contact them again for your wedding day.

Wedding flowers can be very expensive also. Try to ask professional florist on how much will it cost you for wedding flower arrangements. I bet you will get shocked when it could cost you $700 and up. You might buy from flower vendors instead for they could charge you very cheap, but be careful of vendors that will show you a good sample of flowers because they might arrange some ''not fresh'' ones for your wedding day. Surprisingly, you can save money here buy ordering the flowers that are in season. Or, you can have a garden wedding without adding more budgets to flower decorations.

Lastly, you might also thought of cutting expenses for wedding gifts and favors. It is not mandatory for to buy expensive gifts for your attendants. You are free to give inexpensive bridesmaids gifts and groomsmen gifts, as well as affordable wedding favors for your guests.
