Tips & Ideas For Planning a Wedding on a Small Budget...

1. Lovely Location (already decorated). Churches during the holidays will be beautifully decorated, allowing you to safe big money in the wedding decor department. You may also want to consider having the wedding at a botanical gardens, a park (public or private), a museum, or even at a beach. Such places require very few decorations.

2. Awesome Attire. Rather than buying a budget breaking wedding dress for the bride and a wallet smashing tuxedo for the groom, why not consider renting the wedding attire instead. Renting is far cheaper than buying, especially when you consider the fact that you'll only be wearing the outfit for ONE day.

If you're the bride, ask a female relative if you could have the honor of wearing her wedding gown on your big day. If they let you, you can make alterations to it so it fits your size and sense of style perfectly.

3. Frugal Flowers. Flowers can definitely throw a monkey wrench into the works when planning a wedding on a small budget. However, with a little "outside-the-box" thinking, you can easily save money and still have gorgeous flowers.

First, only get flowers that are IN season. Second, try to arrange the flowers yourself or get a friend who knows how so you can avoid those expensive "arrangement" costs. Third, do away with cut flowers and think about using potted flowering plants -- they're inexpensive and look great with ribbons & raffia tied to them.

4.Cool Cake. Rather than spending tons of money on a wedding cake from a private bakery, consider using an at home cake baking specialist. A person who bakes specialty cakes at home will charge substantially less for a wedding cake; and odds are, it'll taste better too.
