By Yours Truly
Wedding costs are constantly on the rise. If you are planning a wedding on a budget, there are many ways that you can cut costs. Having chicken instead of seafood, planning your wedding for the daytime, and printing your own wedding invitations will all save money.
However, you can also save a significant amount of money on wedding decorations.
Here are some quick tips to cut costs.
Make your own centerpieces.
Purchase vases or hurricane lamps from your local dollar store and arrange the flowers (or candles) yourself.
Use silk flowers.
Silk flowers can be cheaper than fresh flowers and they are not a sunk cost. You can re-use silk flowers in your home for years to come.
Find an all-inclusive reception site.
Many banquet halls and other reception sites offer a flat price that includes all set-up, clean-up, table linens, chair covers and decorations.
Find a sponsor.
It's not tacky to have a sponsor for your wedding as long as it's not too outrageous. A local business may be willing to provide napkins, matchbooks, decorations or other items. Many companies are willing to provide free items just for a line or two of advertising.
Purchase inexpensive favors.
Every wedding should have favors, however they don't have to be expensive. You can make your own favors or find hundreds of affordable options at Truly Wedding Favors. Select clearance or sale items from the Truly Wedding Favors website. You can find mind favors for under $1.00 each.
