moment of it all wouldn't it be better if it was just a day that everyone remembered and enjoyed rather than having lots of gimmicks that might not be needed like to many flowers or giving the guests goody bags all these things mount up in the long run.
What people tend to do is think about all the frills and not about the most important things it’s probably better, if you have some paper and write at the top in one column the item the next to that the price of it and put things in priority order things like flowers and expensive table decorations aren't as important as the ring can be quite expensive items were as flowers aren’t necessarily that important.
It's also a good idea to decide how much money you want to spend on the occasion itself it does pay to shop around there are lots of florists about and you might be able to get a cheaper deal elsewhere.
You could always have your wedding incorporated in a holiday which you might think might cost a lot of money but it's surprising how much cheaper it can be I dare say a lot of people don't even think of that some of these weddings are done on beaches in remote locations you don't need any lavish transport you be in a church or need transport especially if you have a big family, so that is one way of cutting your costs quite significantly, another thing is accommodation if a hotel knows that a large group of people is going to be staying for quite some time you may be able to get a group discount.
When your thinking about buying any one particular item for your wedding whether it be the ring the transport wherever it is it doesn't matter try and negotiate a deal with the vendor or shop don't be afraid to do this as a lot of people are scared of asking for money off, in order to become confident at this if say for the sake of argument the wedding dress is $700 when you go to the place and look at the prices, first get rapport with the
salesman/woman ,introduce yourself and ask them what their first name is and introduce yourself first name terms is better, so the dress we want is $700 but we want it for a little bit cheaper, so in our mind we start at five hundred and say to the salesperson it’s got to start with five now in reality it we won't get it for that much but it's worth a try just keep increasing the price until you get the amount of money you want off.
If you have any members of your family that are good at photography or in the catering trade, and florists you could save quite a lot of money doing it that way a good percentage of the time you will get the services for free being as your family members which will save a lot of money in the long run.
Even things like basic tablecloths and some simple decorations without going overboard will suffice and save you some money also.
