Whether it’s a traditional or white wedding, everyone is entitled to a dream wedding they have always wanted. But among the things that scare us from having the wedding of our dreams is the enormous budget attached to what we term as the dream wedding. But, did you know that you can make your day special and memorable under a minimum budget? All you have to do is know the means of going around your large budget and make it friendly. I will show some creative ways to do that:

Wedding Planner/Coordinator, Check

Most of the brides have this mentality that a wedding planner will ruin your budget, but the truth is, wedding planners, feel you, and therefore they are here to make our day stress free which includes trying as much as possible to save you every penny. Think of all the knowledge they possess from being in the business and how they are able to get you discounts from their known vendors. Think about how they know the affordable and most reliable vendors. That is the kind of knowledge you need on your wedding planning team.

Consider Attending a Wedding Planning Class

People will want to volunteer all sorts of information when it is your day. We are Kenyans, we will always come up with stories to fit the occasion and sometimes they may be scary. The best approach is to attend a wedding planning class or somehow have a session with the wedding planning experts. You need to have a clear taste of the waters of wedding planning. In this case, professional.

The Cake and Bouquet Trick

This is to cut costs of the photographer, especially for those who charge per hour and those that didn’t come as a wedding planning package. Planning to have the cake cut earlier and bouquet thrown will save you dimes as the photographer will be prompted to leave. After all, those two mark the end of the wedding for most photographers. Your guest will enjoy moments of taking pictures of themselves without knowing what you just pulled.

Floral Arrangement

Apparently, it is not in the constitution that you should have flowers on each and every available surface in your wedding. Try to focus on flowers for your bridal team and probably other close associates of the wedding. Things like centerpieces can be substituted with creative ideas like candles in water, or fine sand.
