So, in this post, we’re going to share with you some of our top tips for how to make sure you can save enough money for the wedding you’ve always wanted.

How to plan a wedding on a budget

Create a budget:

Like anything else you’re going to be saving a large amount of money for, it’s important that you don’t allow things to get out of hand, so setting a solid budget. The first step to creating a budget is to work out how much you realistically have available to spend on your wedding and then looking at how much time you have to save.

You should then set up a dedicated savings account for this and make sure you’re automating the money to go into the account each time you get paid so that you’re not tempted to dip into it all the time. You should also look at things that you could cut back on if you need to achieve your savings goal a bit quicker or would like to add some things on to it.

Shop around:

Nowadays in the United Kingdom alone, weddings are a multi billion pound a year industry, so as you can imagine, that’s a lot of money that people are spending on all aspects of a one day event.

Of course you want to have a memorable day and to have beautiful things surrounding you, but that doesn’t mean that everything has to cost a fortune just to be nice. Shopping around for things for your wedding is going to be one of the most cost effective ways to get the things you want. And wedding stores are not all priced equally, so it really makes sense to shop around.

Whether you’re looking to find the best wedding band Gloucestershire has to offer, or are looking for the wedding dress of your dreams, shopping around, both online and offline is a much better strategy to adopt when saving for your wedding rather than just going to the first places you find.

Buy second hand:

Buying second hand things for your wedding is one of the best ways to not only save on cost, but actually be left with extra cash that you can use for other things such as your honeymoon.

A wedding is just one day, so it’s actually pretty crazy to think that people pay thousands for a dress that’s only worn for a few hours – if you buy one that’s in good condition and has been professionally cleaned then no one is even going to know that it’s second hand and you’ll save yourself so much money.

Make your own things:

Often with weddings it’s not just the big things that cost a lot, but it’s the smaller details that you don’t even notice adding up. Things like decoration, invites, and even favors.

So, instead of shelling out a lot of cash for these, why not get creative and make your own? Not only will you find lots of help and tutorials online to help you with this, but you’ll see that it adds a lovely personal touch.
