Hiya hun and welcome to the best wedding site like EVER lol
First off, do you know what your budget is yet, if not sit down and figure that out first then look around for venues within that budget and work from there xx

Hi hun and welcome to the site! As Mrs Richardson 2B suggests, firstly sit down and work out a budget, how much you'll be able to put by and save each month and when you have a figure in mind, then I'd also say to start looking at possible venues that fits in that budget. You can try places like e-bay for things like decorations etc. and try DIY-ing some stuff to make things cheaper. Also if you know any friends or family that are particularly skilled in anything, try getting their help with bits and pieces too xxx

Firsty, welcome. Secondly have you set a date? Thirdly do you have a budget? (don't be afraid to say. we all know weddings cost money) ;o)
Also, have a budget for each supplier. (i.e. Budget for venue, budget for photographer, etc) and decide how much your going to spend on each, with the most going on what is most important to you, and the least going on what you could do without)

Hi hun!!
Definitely agree with the others - sit down and work out what you realistically could save and spend...then see what you can get on the cheap! There are plenty of people on here who can help with bits and bobs and work out what you could maybe do yourself to keep costs down! :) xxx
