How To Have A Wedding on a small Budget

We all know it can cost a lot for even a small wedding. That has a lot to do with the stress we all feel when trying to plan for a wedding. If you have a winter wedding it can save you tons. A Christmas wedding can be so beautiful. Can you imagine pulling away from the church in a horse drawn sleigh? So don't cross it off your list so fast.

You can save a bundle on things like gowns, dresses and reception halls at this time of the year. It is this industry's slowest season.

Don't be afraid to get out there and haggle your way into even lower prices. Don't say you can't do that. You do it all the time at yard sales and flea markets. Well maybe YOU don't. So take your mom.

There are books like: Bridal Bargains that can help you. We bought our daughter's gown from David's Bridal. They have such a huge selection there from Wedding gowns to Wedding Accessories. You are bound to find the dress or your dreams at the price you can afford.

While searching the internet to find great inexpensive bridal party gifts that, well you know looked like I spent a lot, I came across Purse hangers or hooks. There are many, many different styles to choose from or you can get them customized. Purse hangers are easy to use, fit most handbags and table tops.  Purse hangers are light weight and will fit in most handbags.

Purse hangers will make a great anytime gift. Mothers Day, birthdays, showers or even a happy gift.

Wedding decorations are a big part of any celebration, especially a wedding. You will need decorations for the bridal shower and maybe even the engagement party. The best thing to do is stick to a theme, then you can use many of the decorations over again. You do not have to spend a lot of money on decorations. If you are crafty you can make many yourself with the help of family and friends. Also, you do not have to go tacky. many decorations can look expensive and not cost much. Remember to have fun with it and your guest will too.

Wedding Bands, do not have to be big and gaudy. I know we like to be surprised but could you imagine having to deal with the look on his or her face as they are presented for the first time with the ugliest or gaudiest ring they have ever seen. Come on, just think before you buy it. Would I really wear this ring?

My husband bought me a ring and I took it back one week later and switched for a ring with SMALLER diamonds. He was not real happy but I love it.
