    Five Ways to Save Money When Planning a Wedding

    13/02/2020 /

    We all know that weddings don’t come cheap – experts estimate that the average wedding in the UK now costs between £18,000 and £32,000. Shocking, right? The great news is that there are so many ways to slash that cost, here are my top five tips: Buy as much as possible second hand I have always been a huge advocate of second hand shopping, and when it comes to weddings, I make exception. Rings are a great thing to buy second hand as new rings lose so much value immediately after purchase. In fact they probably depreciate even quicker than new cars, so you can get so much more for…

    Saving Money On Your Wedding Day – Why Is It Considered Taboo?

    15/08/2019 /

    Weddings are beautiful. They are often a spectacle. They are an event, a community happening, a bonding experience for your family. They are also indulgent, and sometimes, quite expensive. Discussing and dividing the responsibility for such expenses can be a worrying and sometimes quite difficult task, as many of us know. In fact, achieving this can often take much debate, especially when it comes to two different families with different financial means and philosophies of how a wedding should be run. But one thing is often pressing under the surface of all this – why should you feel opposed to saving money on your wedding day? Is this such a…

    If I Was Getting Married Again, Here’s What I’d Do Differently

    17/01/2019 /

    I am so fortunate to have been happily married to my lovely husband for almost 9 years. We had a lovely church wedding in my home county of Northumberland, followed by a reception in a beautiful venue in Newcastle city centre. I have great memories of the day, but even so, there a few things I might have done differently with the benefit of hindsight. Get the venue sorted first My experience was that almost every thing was reasonably easy to source – a lovely dress, flowers, a band…. but one thing that is in short supply during peak wedding season is wedding venues. I wouldn’t even begin to think…

There are ways to plan a budget wedding that still feels lavish if you plan effectively and take the resourceful route to putting together your big day. Here are some helpful suggestions that might give you some inspiration in this regard.
