Good Morning Everyone,
I will be talking today about how you can have a cheap and inexpensive wedding that looks beautiful without having to break the bank.I will be telling you what I did in order to have a beautiful but cheap wedding in these times where everything is so expensive. This is how I had my wedding for under three hundred dollars.
The first thing I did was go and pay for my marriage license that way I wold not have to worry about the expense of getting them later.The cost of the liceanse was $82.00 dollars which we could have gotten it at $60.00 cheaper by taking a marriage class together which is a really good ideal if you live close enough to where they are having the class and have the time to do it.Which we did not have the time to do.
After, the liceanse was bought the second most exspensive thing I did was that I found a cheap place to get married at and that was at my friend's chruch which I got a really good deal for only 50.00 dollars.All that included was the chruch and the preacher to marry us. I told him I would do all of the cleaning and decorations.In order to do this I suggest have a close friend or family member helping you which I had.In fact, my friend and her daughter did most of the work thankfully.
Although, I did buy a lot of of the decorations myself I found that the best ways to buy decorations is by going to dollar stores and secound hand shops.A lot of time second hand shops are a lot cheaper because you can find used items that are still in good condition that might have only been used once or twice at the most if at all.Plus, it will help if you have an imaginary mind and Google or use Pinterest to give you some creative ways about how to make wedding decorations. Plus you can always cheack out my pinterest site at https://www.pinterest.com/cjray1977/ for more inspirational ideals.I probably spent right at a seventy-five dollars for decorations.Remember if you are going to a store try o always find coupons for he items that you are planning on buying it might take you longer and you will have to be more organized but in the long run it will save you a lot of money.
For, our outfits I bought my brother and fiance their tuxes at a resale shop which I got great prices because I was able to buy each one for five dollars a piece.And my dress was giving to me by my friend.I already had my shoes and they each bought there own shoes.I also bought a veil to were to my wedding but I went on ebay and bought one for a dollar and I also bought the garters for two dollars on their you would be amazed at how much cheap wedding items that you can buy on ebay bu you will want to shop early, so that you will have the time to have it sent to you. I also bought a used wedding book on their also that only had one page out of it which you could not tell.The ring pillow was also only a few dollars also.
For, the refreshments we served cake and punch my brother bought a nice sheet cake from Wall-Mart for under 30.00 which was very pretty. Trust me your guest are not going to say anything about not having a three tier wedding cake they will be happy with just getting a piece of cake.But you could always make a small one and have sheet cake just like the wedding cake also I just did not have the extra money so we decided to go the cheap way. Then I used coupons to get the juice and sherbet so I could make punch; which, cost me under ten dollars to do.You could always make your cake or have a friend make your cake if you are good at cooking; which will save you some money.
In conclusion, the main thing that will help you save the most is have a creative mind and try to make as much as possible for your wedding. And remember their are always tutorials on how to make everything online.
