Hi All,

Need some good advice about starting to save for a wedding.

Try the weddings board - there's hundreds of wedding saving threads on there?

Get yourself a pot of dreams they are so cute and can hold up to £1000 in £2 coins leave it in your living room so when friends/family come round get them to empty there pockets

Has worked for me so far but don't want to smash it open.

What worked for me was taking a certain amount out of my bank account as soon as I got paid.

I kept a spreadsheet of what things we wanted and how much we were budgeting to pay for them, and then tried to get the best deals possible - for example, I tried on a gorgeous veil in a wedding shop which cost £98, and I found the same one new on ebay for £35. My wedding shoes were ex-display and so were cheaper than new ones, but they were perfect. I liked seeing that the amount we paid was less than we'd budgeted for.
