How to do up a budget for beach wedding?

The average cost of holding a wedding at $30, 000. So if you are on a tight purse string, how could you afford that dream beach wedding of yours?

Do not worry about this nitty-gritty first. Determine what both of you want first, then sort out your finances. See how much do both of you can spare and is it sufficient to cover the expenses of the beach theme wedding?

There are couples who had been reported to have successful beach weddings at a fraction of the average wedding cost, maybe $10,000. If they can do it, why not you?

One great person you can rely on is your wedding planner. You can speak to your wedding planner for advice on areas where both of you can cut on expenses.

Some areas are:

•  Try to get married during the low seasons

The cost of renting the wedding venue will be cheaper. The wedding cake might be cheaper too since there isn’t a high demand. You can consider the period from Nov to Apr.

• Get discounted wedding dress

There are many bridal stores who periodically offer discounts to remove some wedding dresses off their shelves to create room for new ones. Do look out for such deals.

Internet auctions or sites do offer great fantastic deals on the cheapest wedding dresses. Do scout around.

• Choose an affordable wedding venue

Try to look around for good wedding venues at reasonable prices, which will not blow your budget.

There are many great beaches around and some are not that experience to rent.

• Choose a brunch / tea reception

Usually these types of receptions are cheaper as the guests are not offered full meal. Also you can save on drinks too since it is too early to pop that champagne.

• Make your own wedding favor or to choose cheap alternatives

You can choose to make your own using your own creativity and innovation. If not, you can consider cheap alternatives such as candles and decorate them up. Using ribbons could help to spice them up to look elegant and classic. 

• Choose simple wedding jewelry

The wedding jewelry usually makes up a large part of the wedding expenses. You can opt to choose something simpler or maybe to rent the jewelry pieces. This would help to trim down the costs!

Whatever it takes, remember keep within your set budget and don’t over exceed. You certainly do not wish to be in debt after marriage!
