If you have recently become engaged, chances are you have the wedding of your dreams in your head already. A completely over-the-top venue with extravagant flowers (perhaps artificial flowers?), a stunning wedding cake, all whilst providing your guests with dozens of free drinks. As much as we all wish we could spend money like that, it is not possible for everyone to do so.
Our specialist team at Ivy Cruz Artificial Flowers completely understand this, which is why we have compiled some of our top tips on how to save your precious coins when planning your big day.
Set a budget
Although you may have a rough idea of the money you are planning to spend on your wedding day, it is important to set a maximum budget beforehand. Therefore, you can see exactly where your money is going and stop any spending from getting out of control.
The best way to do this is by prioritising which aspects of your wedding day are most important to you, such as the dream artificial flower arch and bridesmaid bouquets, which will make planning the wedding you want a lot easier. Then, if you find you are stretching your budget beyond its limits you should look at whether there are any other ways you can cut your costs.
Shop around
No matter whether you are booking the venue, the cake, your honeymoon, the flowers, it is always important to get an overall idea of the pricing structure within the market. For example, when arranging what flowers to purchase, couples often opt to buy fresh flowers straight away, without taking into consideration other options out there.
Artificial flower arrangements for weddings are often a great alternative to fresh flowers, as they all still look just as beautiful, but last a lot longer and constantly look beautiful. They will never wilt and can be delivered in advance of the big day relieving you of the stress that they will arrive on time.
Do your research
Before making any concrete decisions, it is always important to do your research to develop a sense of your likes and dislikes. You can also take into consideration the difference in price between various shops, whether that is online or on the high street. The benefit of doing your research on the web is that you will be able to get a good idea of what you might pay elsewhere before you shop.
Take your time
Most importantly, just take your time. If you and your partner love each other you will not be going anywhere. By taking more time to plan things properly, you can do lots of research on what places are the least expensive without sacrificing quality. Just remember that you don’t need to break the bank to make your day memorable.
