Weddings can be expensive, and sticking to a budget is a challenge. There are so many important things to consider; the venue, a beautiful dress and an impressive wedding cake all require significant outlay. However, there are a few handy tricks you can use to stay in the black. Read on for our advice on how to stay within your wedding day budget.
Draw up a Strategic Plan
One of the best ways to stay within a budget is to draw up a strategic wedding day budget plan. It should map out how much you are willing to spend on each aspect of the wedding. Using your researching skills, compile lists on different parts of the wedding, and limit the costs of each. Include categories like the venue, catering, alcohol and entertainment. Don’t forget to factor in the groom’s suit, the groomsmen outfits or the bridesmaids dresses.

Research Online and Offline
Many brides and grooms have a preferred way of doing things, often either shopping online or offline. But you can score yourself the best deals by widening your search and exploring vendors, shops, services, and boutiques that might be a little off the beaten track. There’s a wide variety of options available.
Look for packaged deals
Many wedding vendors, and all the best venues, offer wedding day packages to help a bride and groom keep costs down on their big day. Packaged deals for each aspect of your wedding can easily be found with a simple Google search. Take the time to compare different offers and don’t just settle for the first or second deal you find.
Go with a wedding planner

Alternatively, a bride may have a family member that’s skilled with a needle, who can help her embellish her veil, bodice or skirt. Opting for DIY when it comes to the smaller aspects of your wedding day can be a great way to stay within your wedding day budget.
