How to Save Money on your Wedding Day, from the Pavilion at Lane End
High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire (PRWEB UK) 22 June 2014 -- The cost of the average wedding in the UK has risen to £18,244 according to a recent study.
To help your bridal budget go further, renowned Buckinghamshire country wedding venue, The Pavilion in Lane End shares its top money saving tips:
Say ‘I do’ on a Friday or a Sunday: Ditching the tradition of marrying on a Saturday in the summer will save a small fortune.
Moneysavingexpert.com advise that couples willing to get married on a Friday or Sunday can save up to 50% on the cost of their wedding venue.
Furthermore, wedding suppliers are usually less busy, so more open to negotiate too.
If you have your heart set on a particular location you can also grab a bargain with a last minute wedding deal in the event someone cancels.
Hold a vintage wedding: A vintage wedding theme is a great way to save money without comprising on style.
Beautiful and romantic, the main benefit of a vintage wedding is that it has lots of finishing touches completely unique to you.
Cut the cost of your dress by adapting a relative’s vintage wedding gown. Alternatively visit a Bridal charity shop that specialises in pre-loved wedding dresses.
Instead of hiring a luxury hotel or manor house for the whole day, secure a picturesque outdoor wedding venue for the afternoon and hold a tea part style reception.
Call in favours: Think about family and friends’ skills that might come in handy.
Is there a clever card maker who could make handmade invitations? A keen gardener who could put together some loose, informal flower arrangements? Maybe there’s a talented cake maker who could craft a sumptuous wedding cupcake tower?
As well as adding special, one-off elements to your wedding day this will help significantly reduce the overall cost.
Cut the amount per head: Venue aside, one of the biggest outlays is food and drink. If your budget won’t stretch to a formal sit down meal, how about a bridal buffet or outdoor hog roast?
Also, don’t think you have to buy everyone’s drinks – after the first drink it’s fine to let guests buy their own.
Wedding Co-ordinator, Carolyn Worrall, at outdoor wedding venue The Pavilion, said: “You don’t have to spend a fortune, or worse, rack up debt, to achieve the wedding of your dreams.
“By adapting your wedding to a weekday – most guests will be glad of a midweek break – and asking friends and family to pitch in and help, you can shave a substantial amount off the cost of your wedding.”
