You can also save money by:

-Not having attendants

-Selling your wedding dress on E-bay afterwards (you’ll recoup at least 50% cost if its in perfect condition, no stains, etc.)

-Not having a photographer. Many guests will bring their digital to your wedding anyway. Once they see you haven’t hired a photographer, they’ll likely email you the best pics.

-Not doing a rehearsal dinner (you don’t need one if you don’t have attendants anyway)

-Just doing a cake & punch reception (and make the cakes yourself a few days beforehand)

-No alcohol (have a late morning or early afternoon wedding so people don’t expect it)

-No DJ (use a cd player and play a mix of your favs)

-Do your own hair (a few loose curls does it)

You know, even though wedding is an important day, isn’t every single day you’re married to the guy you love equally important? It’s kinda silly that some people would spend a fortune trying to make only that one day happy and then going broke later… Anyway, great tips for saving on wedding you have there. Thanks for sharing!

This is very true, and I find that with the economy more and more people are trying to cut costs. The main thing for me is if a couple just asks, can you work with us on price. as a wedding photographer I’m more than willing
