1. Use a wedding budget planning app. It can be cheaper to download a wedding planner app than to hire an actual wedding planner. You can download this into your smartphone or tablet. The best apps work on either iOS or Android devices.
2. Remember the three essential things that a successful wedding needs: the groom, the bride, and the officiant. The rest are considered fluff or decorative elements. Keep these in mind, so you can breeze through crucial financial decisions when planning your wedding.
3. Invite only the most important people in your lives. Keep your guest list small. This way, you can cut down the budget on food, and you do not have to worry about spending a lot just to afford a large wedding venue.
4. Keep the dress elegantly simple. Many women dream of wearing the most beautiful wedding dress, but you do not have to spend a lot to have it made. Explore secondhand stores, Craigslist, eBay, and local retail stores and boutiques to find a high-quality and reasonably priced dress that suits you. You can ask your bridesmaids to buy or rent their dresses instead of having new dresses made for them.
5. Order flowers that are in-season. Wedding flowers can be expensive, but you can save if you order in-season blooms. If you or anyone in your family or your circle of friends can do the flower arrangement, order flowers in loose stems and arrange them you.
