Additional cost-saving ideas for your upcoming wedding:

 

• Have your wedding outdoors in a garden. Just think of all the cash you'll save when you don't have to hire a florist!

 

• One word: RENT! You can rent dresses as well as tuxes. If you can't find any rented dresses you like, consider borrowing them.

 

• Hire a jazz guitar student from a local university for music. It's cheaper than hiring a band or a DJ.

 

• Instead of having a formal, sit-down dinner, have what it called an "appetizer reception" instead: a finger food buffet with vegetable, fruit, cheese and cracker trays and sandwiches and everyone can just serve themselves and mingle at the same time. It's a more relaxed atmosphere and lots less expensive (personally, this is the route that my hubby and I picked when we got married and it worked out great).

 

• Go to the floral department at the local grocery store for your flowers. They do beautiful work for a fraction of the price of your local florist.

 

• Have your bridesmaids carry a single rose as opposed to a nosegay or bouquet.

 

• Selecting flowers that are in season at the time of your wedding will save you up to 40%.

 

• Trim your guestlist and the number of attendants in your bridal party.

 

• Have a simple backyard wedding that will save you a bunch of cash and create an intimate setting.
