Struggling to see where I could save money!

'Fraid not, When something is standing still, it’s stationary. That piece of paper you write a letter on is stationery.

I'm sure believe is just a typo

The one thing I would say not to scrimp on is wedding photograper........

I learnt from my own mistakes with that one & dont have any decent pictures from my wedding. So I really wouldnt go with the friend with a decent camera idea.

I attended a friends wedding earlier this year & they had a signing frame there. Basically they bought a big frame & had a picture of them in the middle, then around the picture everybody wrote a little something on the day.

Favours are not a MUST DO at weddings, the last 2 I have attended didnt have individual favours, just a nice bowl in the middle of the table with a few chocs/sweets in. Nobody seemed to mind that.

Flowers could be done in silk rather than fresh, saves tons of money & you can get some lovely ones now. My b/maids had wrist corsages made from silk flowers & also the men all had silk button holes done too.

If you have any "crafty" friends or relatives, get them roped in to make as much as possible. I did my own invites for our wedding..we saved a fortune

Do you have a friend with a nice car?? We got our friend to do our wedding car with his merc, decorated it with ribbons etc & saved money there.

I personally make wedding jewellery for a living, so can give you some tips oncutting costs there if you need it.

I did my whole wedding, including 2 weeks in florida for approx £3000, so it can be done on a budget but without it looking cheap

Hope that helps, pm me if you need any more help

you can get rings for much cheaper at trade prices. go to bettsmetalsales.com. We had both for less than £200

The rings we can't and won't budge on, they are perfect and made to match my engagement ring, they are from a local craft centre which is currently under threat of being shut down and there are lots of reasons we can't budge on rings, but I do agree may be buying cheaper rings for the wedding and replacing them at a later date on an annerversary or something may be a lovely idea.

Thank you again x

just saw this. please ignore my post on betts metals. cheers!
