Your Wedding Doesn’t Have to Cost the Earth

For a little girl, a wedding is always a fascinating event from beginning to end. Showing all young girls that they can have a happily ever after just like in their story books, weddings are a special occasion for any girl. As we grow up, it is apparent that the fascination over the whole idea never really fades, it just becomes real. As you meet the one you love and want to spend the rest of your life with, all of the traditional factors seem to flow just like in a fairytale. From getting engaged and getting wed to living together and having a family of your own, things seem to flow steadily and merge into everything you ever wanted.

From the moment you get engaged, that’s when you know your love is for real. Some people choose to get married spontaneously and some decide to opt for a long engagement until they are financially stable. However, money is no object if you love each and a wedding does not have to cost the earth. Time is precious when you finally meet the person you want to spend the rest of your life with which is why there is no better time to start planning your wedding than the present.

If you are planning to get married with a small budget, there is no reason why you can’t still have a fantastic day. Weddings are a family event which means they will be more then happy to help you out with a few favours to ensure your special day is truly memorable. Cut the costs of your wedding venue by opting for an outdoorsy event in your local park or by a lake for a romantic yet affordable event. If you have any keen cooks in the family, they could provide the food and cake for your guests, a creative friend could also create invitations and small favours whilst your cousin could DJ at your evening reception.

Most of all, you want to look like a princess on your special day after many years of creating the perfect picture in your head as a child, however it may be difficult on a budget. You can find some fabulous bridal gowns that are one of a kind and don’t cost a fortune at charity shops and online boutiques. To make the dress your own and unique to you, you could always add your own little additions with the help of a Swarovski crystal embellished bridal belt or a feather wrap for a totally glam look.

With all of this in mind, it is certainly possible to have the most amazing wedding without spending your life savings.
