Wedding Savvy
like ‘preloved’ brides are selling their
wedding dresses at a cut down price &
they’ve not all been worn. Some brides
change their minds about the design,
while others have brought a dress to fit
into, but didn’t make their goal or some
end up needing to buy a bigger size
due to pregnancy. It’s worth shopping
around.
Catering
See if you have any aspiring chefs in the
family or a friend who’s a dab hand at
cake making who’s willing to take on
the challenge of orgaising your catering
for your special day.
We all know that weddings can end up
costing more than you bargained for
and that is why more & more brides are
becoming ‘Wedding Savvy’ and making
money smart decisions when it comes
to organising their big day.
Every Avenue Weddings Magazine
have come up with some money saving
ideas to help you save when it comes to
your big day:
Photography
There are some amazing photographers
around that have just entered into the
wedding industry, but that doesn’t
mean that they’ve not been snapping
away for years. Look out for photogra-
phers looking to build their wedding
portfolio by offering their services at an
extremely discounted price.
Wedding Dress
You don’t have to pay over the odds
for that perfect dress! On some sites

Invitations
Save on paper by designing your very
own e-invitation! Most paper invita-
tions get lost or discarded. You’ll save
on paper & postage too!
Wedding Planner
If you’d like that extra bit of help plan-
ning your wedding, but don’t have the
budget, then why not contact trainee
wedding planners. They’ll happily help
with organising certain aspects of your
day in return for a testimonial & maybe
a small fee.
Wedding Favours
Simply make your own. A wedding fa-
vour is a small gesture to your guests, so
by making them yourself, makes them
that more personal. There is so much
inspiration on the internet for wedding
favours. You could make homemade
chocolates or keyrings or charms, the
ideas are endless, more personable &
helps cut the cost of your fabulous day.
