Wedding Budget Planner
It’s not all Bride and Gloom. If you are looking for ways to stretch your wedding budget, the wedding planners at Wyboston Lakes have come up with Ten Money Saving Tips to help as you plan ahead for the big day.
- Opt for Prosecco instead of Champagne for the toast.
- Cut the cars. Get married in the same venue as you hold your reception - why pay for an expensive car to transfer you between venues?
- Tiers before bedtime. Forget the traditional three-tier fruit cake and consider a large sumptuous chocolate cake which can also double up as pudding.
- Children. Think about a more cost-effective kids’ table laden with tea-time treats that they adore. With the added bonus of giving your guests the chance to enjoy each other’s company!
- Flower power. Choose seasonal blooms sourced from the UK and save up to 50% on the huge cost of importing flowers.
- Dress to impress. Choose a dress that can be re-modelled either for the evening or for an event on another day.
- Keep talking. By working in partnership with the venue you ensure that you are up to date with any special offers or areas where you can save money.
- Disco diva. The advent of the i-pod means that you can choose your own tunes without the cost of a DJ to spin the decks!
- Get creative. Enlist the help of a friend and have fun creating co-ordinated, personal wedding stationery for your big day.
- Invest in hot air! Use helium balloons to decorate your venue, the effect can be very dramatic and they are cheaper than flowers.
