He proposed, you said yes and so now it is time to start planning the best day of your life. HOWEVER, you don't have over ?20,000 which is now the average cost of a wedding so what do you do now?? Following these handy hints can help to save thousands of pounds and give your future the best possible start.
Tip 1: Get married out of season... hotels and other venues always have offers in the winter months because they are less popular. With the weather in England being unreliable, you are as likely to get a nice day in March as you are in July but at a fraction of the cost.
SAVING - up to ?10,000
Tip 2: Have your wedding ceremony in the local registry office. The cost is dramatically cheaper than having your ceremony at an approved premises and a lot of registry offices are in old buildings which are wonderful for photographs.
SAVING - up to ?200
Tip 3: Print your own invitations. The average cost of wedding stationary is now ?600 which is close to some people's total wedding budget. Marks and Spencer's sell kits to make you own wedding stationary which include everything needed to make your invitations. At only 75p per card, invitations for 100 people can cost just ?75.
SAVING - up to ?525
Tip 4: Try make up counters for free makeovers. Why pay ?100 to hire a make up artist when you can do it yourself. Pick a reputable beauty counter in a department store and have a free makeover. Collect as many freebie samples as you can and make sure you have a few practices before the big day.
SAVING - up to ?100
Tip 5: How about alternatives to flowers? Instead of having flower centrepieces for each table at your reception why not try something different such as a glass bowl with floating candles or balloons? Water can be dyed to match your colour scheme with food colouring and you can purchase coloured balloons and helium canisters online or from most card shops.
SAVING - up to ?500
Tip 6: Why not try baking your own wedding cake? If you don't think you are capable then how about cupcakes or doughnuts for an alternative. Many local bakeries will offer you a discount for buying in bulk so they could cost you as little as 50p each.
SAVING - up to ?450
Tip 7: Pick a friend with a fancy car! The average cost of hiring a car and driver can be approximately ?500. Why not just ask someone who has a nice car to be your driver for the day and buy a roll of ribbon for a couple of pounds to decorate the bonnet.
SAVING - up to ?498
Tip 8: Last but not least, don't mention a wedding. As soon as you mention the word, people put the prices up. Flowers, hair, jewellery, photographers and entertainers are all more expensive for a wedding than for any other occasion. Fail to mention the big day and you can save yourself hundreds.
