Best Options for Budget, Memorable Weddings and Receptions






by Rebecca Lilly


If you are one of many couples who opt to have a cheap wedding without compromising what you have desired for your special day, consider a few of these ways of saving money on your wedding location, reception and decorations.

Most weddings take place on Saturdays, which means it is the most expensive day to book a reception hall. Consider having an evening ceremony and reception on a Friday. If you really want low cost wedding ideas for a Saturday, look into booking the ceremony in the morning and having an early afternoon reception. Brunch weddings are a popular new trend that are considerably less costly than evening dinner receptions. Other low cost wedding ideas for the ceremony and reception: consider a Sunday afternoon wedding, or serving only a light meal instead of a full dinner.

Planning cheap wedding receptions should also involve choosing cheap locations. For, example, if you'd like to have your wedding ceremony in the gazebo at the park, then perhaps the best reception option could be a picnic in that same park. Another easy and cheap option is of course, having your wedding ceremony in your own home. Then you can have your reception in your home as well, or out in the backyard if the weather agreed.

You can ask family and friends for ideas and advice. Speak to them to get them involved, give everyone a job they can carry out and once the job is done you can begin to see your wedding ideas come to life.

There may be a wealth of low cost wedding ideas hidden among your friends and family. Find out if anyone is a good photographer, and if they will do the honours at a low price for you. Do you have a friend who plays an instrument and can supply ceremony music? Or maybe you know someone who can officiate at your wedding. Not only are these great low cost wedding ideas, but hiring friends also makes the day more special. Your friends may even have more low cost wedding ideas to share! There are many low cost wedding ideas to help you stay within your budget and still have a beautiful wedding. Doing a little work yourself and asking friends to help out are all low cost wedding ideas that are easy to implement. Hopefully, with these great low cost wedding ideas, you will have some money left over for a great honeymoon or a down payment on a home!
