Me and my other half got engaged end of last year April, we are wanting too get married on the 17th may 2019 which falls on a friday but is struggling at the moment as we are also saving up for a house, is there any easy way too keep a wedding as simple and not too expensive. Need ideas!
Congratulations!
Do a budget, see how much you can save each month towards your wedding then go from there.
Accept any help offered, we have managed to get out dj and entertainment for free as it is a wedding present from them.
If you have any family or friends who do hair and make professionally ask them how much they would charge you, you will most likely find they will do it free as a wedding present.
Keep guests to a minimum, closest family and friends.
Off the peg wedding dress is an option and look in places like river island, Debenhams etc for bridesmaids dresses (if having any). Buy as much as you can in the sale's. Ebay is great for wedding invites etc.
Sorry it's alto to read hope this helps xx
Thankyou, we have already got up too £500, how much would you say too put away a month? My other half knows a photographer that will be happy too be our wedding photography for the day and my mum in law knows a DJ so that mainly sorted, the bridesmaids dresses are kind of sorted i just need them all together as i have 4 bridesmaids 3 flowers girls and 3 page boys, it just mainly my wedding dress as i don't want too go over the time as i am only wearing it for one day, xx
As much as you can afford to hun. We can afford £550-£600 but we are only saving for a wedding and have 200 guests (that's cut down lol. We have very big families) Once you know your budget you can look into venues that fit in that with in your budget. Our bridesmaids, bestman and groomsmen are paying for their own stuff so that's helped us a lot. (they offered). Flower girls dresses I got from tk max for £25 each. Debenhams and places like that sell wedding dresses hun. Just be careful with ebay etc as you don't know how good the dress quality will be. xx
Congratulations on your engagement! Decide on a budget and how much you can save towards your wedding each month. Look for venues that have offer packages that include food, drink, and a DJ as an all inclusive deal it will definitely take some weight off and you won't have to worry about having to save extra money for evening entertainment etc. There are so many wedding dress shops that are affordable and do amazing dresses have a look at WED2BE. Try looking in Debenhams/Dorothy Perkins/Monsoon/ASOS for bridesmaid dresses they have some lovely ones! x
So do we! Well i do haha, just don't want too miss everyone but hopefully if the saving goes well we will hopefully get what we wanted, i think my other half best man is getting his own suit so that helps us, and with the bridesmaids and flower girls i have already looks in debenham and they had lovely dresses so that where i am going too be shopping, thankyou Tiffany!
Thankyou Tasha we are thinking of £2,000 but that depends on savings, we have already sorted out the DJ and photographer it just everything else really haha, and i have seen lovely dresses for bridesmaid in debenham so i will be shopping in there for theirs, i think they are buying their own dresses which will be a big massive help xxx
