With the average wedding budget running between £17,000.00 and £25,000.00 (yes it looks more if you put the 0’s in) what can you do to save money on your wedding without compromising your day.
Generally the most expensive parts of the day are:-
The Church – usually costs around £500.00. Church decoration can cost anything up to £5,000.00 (believe me I produces the video for the wedding)
The Reception – the sky is the limit but at least £35.00 a head for the meal, £20.00 a head for the drinks plus another £25.00 a head for the evening buffet. That could be at least £80.00 for every guest – £800.00 for ten, £8,000.00 for 100.
The dress can cost £500.00 to £2,500.00 and more.
Bridesmaids outfits – usually at least £100.00 each.
The cake could be £500.00 to £1,500.00.
Photography normally costs £1500.00 to £3,000.00.
Wedding cars again can cost from £500.00 to £1,500.00
Stationary and postage for invitations at least £150.00
You are already well on the way to spending £17.250.00. Could that be the deposit on a fairly nice house?
So how can you save money on what should be the greatest day of your lives?
