If you can learn how to cut costs and how to budget when planning your wedding, then you will have plenty of money to spare after its all over. And this is an important skill to learn, because only a few people know that they can have a beautiful wedding all on a shoe string budget.

The key is being imaginative. There are always places to save on wedding costs if you looked hard enough for them. For example, consider a vintage wedding dress match with your clutch purse,if you desire a traditional themed wedding. By shopping in vintage shops and consignment stores, you can save a lot of money on traditional style wedding dresses. Or alternatively, consider adding fancier styles of fabric to your mothers wedding dress.

Also when purchasing your wedding dress, consider purchasing a simpler dress instead of one that includes the veil and train. This simple change in style can be great if you are on a budget, because you can find dresses that are beautiful, and they will cost a lot less than the traditional full white wedding outfit.

By making this simple transition, you no longer have to buy your dress from specialized bridal outfitters who charge enormous fees for their services – or for the brand or name that you are purchasing.

Even though your wedding day will be one of the most important days of your life, you dont have to make it one of the most expensive. If the wedding dress is the most important item on your shopping list, you can have the dress of your dreams without emptying your bank account by purchasing a relatively cheap dress that is elegant and stylish at the same time.

Another way to save on your wedding is to design your own invitations. There are ton of DIY kits designed to help you create the fashionable invitations without the high price of having it done professionally. And not only invitations, but the veils and centerpieces can be handmade instead of purchased – thereby cutting your costs dramatically.

One more way of saving on your wedding is to order simple yet elegant flowers. Everyone loves flowers, but almost no one asks how much you paid for the flowers – especially if their beautiful. Consider creating your own flower arrangements. You can buy one color of flower in bulk, and do this for multiple colors. You can find florists that sell flowers directly to the consumer by contacting a wholesale florist.
