Gabby Love stresses one to be creative in order to save on your wedding. A main way to cut cost could begin with the date and time of the wedding. Why not look at

having the wedding on Friday evening, Saturday morning, or even Sunday afternoon?

This will still work with your guests schedules,and also qualify for a reduced rates at a church ,or reception hall because it is during off peak times. By having the wedding during off peak times saves money on food. Food for your guest is a main expense for the wedding, especially large weddings. If you really want to have food cost really reduced then have an evening wedding with a dessert-only reception. Also keep the overall guest list down to the minimum which will mean less food ,less work, and less invitations,which will result with less money on weddings.

Another key focus of expense is what to wear during the wedding and how to keep the cost down.

A. Look into renting wedding gowns instead of buying it. Rent a tux as well . Also check around to see if there is a business that will cater the whole wedding party for a much reduced rate.

B. Explore key bridal shops and get a sample wedding as well as the bridesmaid dresses from off the rack. This will also cut down the cost .

C. Look into borrowing shoes from your friends or family members. Hey, there are other people who were married and have shoes from their wedding just sitting in their closets that could match your dress.

D. Get in touch with the tuxedo rental stores and see if they are offering special discounts and specials. Some even offer free tux rental depending on the amount of tux rented. They may even offer free limousine service as well.

E. Find out if there are any friends or family members can sew. If so this could cut down the overall expenses for dresses for the bride and bridesmaid.

F. If the wedding is a casual wedding, the focus will be on color which means that the men could wear their own suits and the bridesmaids could wear their own dresses, all of which in the same color.

The above is just key suggestions offered to keep the overall cost of the wedding to a minimum. The wedding day is just what it means …day. Don’t put yourself in debt.
