Creative Wedding Ideas

Your wedding day is one of the most important events of your life. But planning your wedding can be one of the most stressful times of your life. If you’ve already started to plan your wedding, I’m sure you’ve noticed how staggering some of the costs can be! Well I want to let you know that you can have an absolutely gorgeous wedding that is affordable. Here are some creative wedding ideas that will help you stick to a fairly small budget.

Your Wedding Gown

Sure, some people will say that you really should buy a brand new wedding gown, but think of how much you will save by buying your gown at a consignment shop, second hand store, or even on an online auction site. It’s amazing what fabulous gowns you can find at these places for a fraction of the cost of a new gown. After having it professionally cleaned, who will know the difference?

The Reception Hall

It’s amazing at how many venue locations you can find that will be very low cost, or sometimes even free. Some church halls may be very inexpensive, especially if you are a member of one.
Also, try thinking “out of the box”. Are there other different types of halls in your area that would have tables and chairs already available?

Also check hotel banquet rooms-some actually are surprisingly reasonably priced.

You can also check some of the restaurants in your area that may give you a package deal including the room, dinner and beverages.

Your Reception Music

You don’t have to go with a live band. Save yourself a huge chunk of money and gather up a collection of CD’s,
and hire a DJ instead. Or better yet, you may have a friend or relative that can DJ for you.

Reception & Table Decorating
You can find very inexpensive vases and silk flowers, and candles to decorate your tables with. You can use lots of balloon bouquets in the reception area tied with ribbon. All these items can be found at your local dollar store.

Wedding Invitation Postage

Mailing out all your invitations can be very expensive. You can hand deliver your invitations to your close relatives and friends. That will save you a pretty penny right there!

These creative wedding ideas for a low budget will definitely allow you to have an affordable romantic wedding, and save hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars.
