Wedding within the Budget

November 5, 2008 – 6:50 am

When it comes to planning your wedding , one of the biggest hurdles you may face is the cost. It can be a difficult task to plan the wedding of your dreams while keeping it affordable. To have every detail just perfect can be very costly. The last thing you want is to have you and or your family still paying for your wedding long after it is over.

One of the easiest ways to ensure that you get everything you want for the least possible cost is to “shop around”. Ask family and friends to help you with this task as they may have information that is not as easily available to you. When you are looking at things like the wedding attire you should look at several different shops and designers. Ask about any discounts and sales that they may offer. Some shops offer discounts for making purchases over a certain amount.

Things like caterers and DJ’s can be the harder area to save money on. To find exactly what you are looking for can prove a challenge when you are working on a budget. To get the most for your money you will need to spend a lot of time and effort contacting different companies. To get the best rates on your floral arrangements it is best to choose flowers that are in season as they are more abundant and therefore less costly. If you are adamant about a certain type of arrangement and the flowers that you want are not in season you should contact several florists to ensure the lowest cost. No matter what stage of wedding planning you are in, shopping around and comparing prices is the best way to keep your event costs in check. A fun tip to use when you contact a company and ask for pricing information is to let them know you are comparing prices. As soon as you inform them that you are actively looking for the lowest costs they will usually give you a lower rate on the item in question. If you still do not think that they are offering an affordable price you could even try suggesting, by name, another company that you would contact for rate details. Another cost cutting tip is to ask about discounts for using a company recommended by a friend. Some companies, especially smaller ones, thrive on word of mouth business and will provide discounts for people referred by previous customers. You may even find that one company offers discounts if you use another company, recommended by them, for a different service.

The cost of planning a wedding is most likely the biggest stress you will face. Managing to come in at or under budget will not only allow you to have more funds to put toward other after-wedding issues, such as your honeymoon.
