You want your day to be memorable, but not still be paying for it on your 10th year anniversary. This article will give you some great advice for budgeting your wedding expenses.
Keep in mind that for many, religion plays a significant role on both their wedding day and their actual marriage. Talk with your partner and their family about their religion and traditions.
Keep your outdoor wedding decorations simple, at all costs. You will want to be the central of your wedding and too many decorations can take away from this. Keep your decorations very neat and ornate, but make sure not to go overboard, in order to allow your guests to maximize their experience.
To document your wedding day the best that you can, make sure that you have a large guest book. This will allow people to write what they are feeling and jot down some of the memories that they had with you. This can be a memorable keepsake for the rest of your life.
While a perfectly matched place setting with plates, bowls, and silverware can create a dramatic, elegant, and timeless appearance for receptions and rehearsal dinners, it can also be extremely expensive. Instead, consider opting for plates, bowls, and utensils that share a common theme, such as a particular color, all floral prints, or a mismatched shabby chic look.
Get to bed very early on the night before your wedding. This will allow you to be as rested as possible and will help to reduce the levels of stress that you will feel from pure exhaustion. Getting a good night of sleep on the day before your wedding will maximize your experience.
If you really want to have speeches at your wedding, keep them short. There is an award ceremony that limits speeches to four words, which would be a cute rule to have at your reception, but maybe too limiting. One suggestion is limiting them to just a few sentences, therefore no one gets bored and a large amount of time is not put into speeches.
Thank your guests for attending your destination wedding with extra events, so that you can give them the trip of a lifetime. Start with a welcoming dinner at a nice restaurant on the day that they arrive, allowing them to relax and not have to worry about finding a place on their own.
Brides should focus on getting down a skincare regimen that makes their skin flawless for the wedding. Seek facial treatment aids that are soothing to the skin such as creamy scrubs, sea salts, rose and oatmeal proteins.
Bridal fashion changes drastically from year to year. Unless you are set on spending the money and storage space necessary to preserve and keep your wedding dress, consider renting a gown instead. Most formal wear rental companies are very reasonable in price and policies, and you can wear the expensive designer dress of your dreams for pennies compared to buying it for a one-time wearing.
Check with the post office for their size and weight limitations for letter mail before placing your wedding invitation order. If you can scale back the size and weight of your invitations so that they are considered a standard size, you can save hundreds of dollars in excess postage needed to send something big and bulky.
Unless you have a specific date to commemorate with your wedding, look for a date outside the peak season. May through September is the time of year when weddings are booming. This will drive prices for venues, vendors and service providers to its yearly height. Look for dates off season and save some of your budget for your honeymoon.
A memorable and distinctive trend in wedding decor is opting for vintage and aged wire birdcages in lieu of traditional vases and containers for centerpieces. Green mini-planters can be easily contained within a small birdcage, then topped with either fresh or silken flowers, leaves, and realistic-looking mushroom finches, which are available at craft stores.
Make the most of your winter wedding by incorporating distinctive natural elements into your decor. For example, look for a venue that will allow guests to enjoy a roaring fire, and the scent of fresh evergreen boughs. Further adding to the cozy touch of winter, feature gourmet hot cocoa, spiced apple cider, or rich wooden accent pieces.
Try to delegate someone who will be your go to person during your wedding day. You may forget to get something or bring something, and it would be a good idea to have someone who is not part of your wedding party who could run miscellaneous errands like this for you.
Plan an Eco-friendly wedding that your guests will appreciate. Have fewer guests to lessen consumption and use plants instead of cut flowers on the tables. Wear a second-hand wedding dress and forget about balloons or confetti. Use real glass or china for dining and there won't be any reason to worry about buying recyclable products.
Schedule your wedding between November and April.

You'll have less competition for wedding venues and have more of a selection with caterers and florists.
