How to plan a wedding on a budget

Planning a wedding on a budget can be challenging, but it's definitely doable. Here are some tips to help you plan a beautiful wedding while keeping costs under control:

1. Determine your budget: The first step is to figure out how much money you can afford to spend on your wedding. Set a realistic budget and prioritize the most important elements of your wedding day.

2. Choose an affordable venue: One of the biggest expenses for a wedding is the venue. Consider non-traditional options such as a park, community center, or even a backyard. This can save you a lot of money on venue fees.

3. Be flexible with the date: Choosing an off-peak wedding date or a weekday can often result in lower prices for vendors and venues.

4. Keep the guest list small: The more guests you invite, the more expensive your wedding will be. Consider having a smaller, more intimate wedding with only close family and friends.

5. Simplify the Florals: Sometime less is more, you can still have stunning florals with a smaller budget by using seasonal blooms. 

6. Menu Choices: Offer simple and delicious food options that won't break the bank. You can also consider having a brunch or lunch reception instead of a formal dinner.

7. Prioritise the important details: Focus your budget on the most important elements of your wedding, such as the photographer, DJ, and wedding dress. Most brides have different priorities for their wedding, so finding what you want to spend on it the best way to start. 

By following these tips, you can plan a beautiful wedding without breaking the bank. Remember to prioritise the most important details and stay flexible to save money wherever possible!
