five ways to save on your wedding
The costs of weddings are going up and up and up, but couples budgets aren’t. As such, we know that you’re looking for some great deals for your day. Here’s five suggestions we have to help you spend less on your wedding!
1. Shop Around
Many couples go straight to The Knot, WeddingWire, Weddings.com, etc. These sites can cost a significant amount for vendors to enroll in, so many more affordable vendors choose not to promote through them. There are numerous Facebook groups in every locality where vendors can promote themselves for free and frequently post deals to help peak your interest!
2. Go Non-Traditional
Get married somewhere unique that doesn’t typically host weddings. They’re typically much more affordable as they don’t have the crazy up-pricing for wedding specific events. Wearing a dress not advertised as a wedding dress, or a short dress, will also be cheaper. Vendors know that people are willing to pay extra for their wedding than for a family event. Another way to avoid the wedding up-charge is to elope and have a separate family celebration later!
3. Thrift Shopping
In Minnesota we have Bride-to-be-Consignment stores that resell dresses, shoes, jewelry, centerpieces, decor, and anything else you can imagine needing for your wedding!
If you’re not concerned about every centerpiece and every decoration being identical, more traditional Thrift Stores such as Goodwill or Savers, can be a great place to get similar items you can paint to match your colors.
4. DIY (but only if you like it)
5. hire a planner
