Repurpose Attire
Awedding — just like marriage itself — is filled with compromises . We all have big wedding dreams of limousines and walls of flowers , but we must temper those dreams with the reality of the wedding budget . Establishing clear priorities is crucial to ensure that your special day is memorable without overspending . Here are some key areas to consider when determining your wedding budget .
Repurpose Attire
Consider a pre-owned dress or suit to save big without compromising your look . Beautiful gowns and stylish suits are available at a fraction of the retail price at online marketplaces like Poshmark or on Facebook . Lately , brides have been searching consignment stores as well as their relatives ’ closets for heirloom dresses that can be updated and customized .
Choose Family-Style Catering
Food and beverage costs are integral to wedding events but can quickly eat up a large portion of your budget . Contemplate a buffet or family-style meal instead of a plated dinner , which can be more cost-effective . Opt for a limited bar instead of an open bar , offering a selection of wine , beer and one or two signature cocktails . This approach allows you to provide a top-quality feast while keeping costs in check .
