Most Effective ways to save money on Wedding

We all are aware of how special Indian Weddings are packed with amazing cuisines, wonderful decorations, high music’s, dance and not to forget the huge number of relatives you have never met. There is a huge rush of adrenal within the family members as they are overly excited in planning the wedding, deciding dresses, taking care of the decoration and relatives but we all know that comes with a huge cost. And we all are familiar with the rising cost of goods and services now a days and wedding cost has almost doubled from past few years.
There are many contributing factors to these increasing costs.  There is a rising popularity for couples opting for destination weddings, couture pre-wedding photo shoots and not to forget the fact that traditional parties are now turning into weekend long parties. Today it is all about the ‘wow-factor’ and creating something magical for not just yourself, but for your family and friends. The way in which we approach our weddings now a days has taken a dramatic shift from the days of hiring a local community hall to massive function venues in hotels and resorts.
Yes, it is true. Planning an Indian wedding is not cheap, and it is difficult to maintain everything within budget. Some had to seek financial support from their parents while others into their own savings accounts in order to cover costs.
But the truth is your perfect day should not have to be a financial struggle. It is possible to plan your perfect wedding within budget without seeking into your savings account or asking support from parents. And Indian wedding have always been about joining two families and spending time with your loved ones. And here we will make sure you spend less money and spend more love with your loved ones.
So, lets breakdown the events, cost and components:
1.      We believe to host pre-wedding puja’s and parties at home and if space is an issue you can always host it in your friends or relatives place with the same intensity and fun environment which can save about 30% of the cost.
 
2.      The second thing that comes up is a bridal party on the wedding day which is we believe not an Indian tradition altogether, you might say its called modernization but do you really think that’s important as your family and friends are always going to be around you and support you.
 
3.      Don’t buy too many flowers, Ask suggestion from the florists. If you already have a decoration theme or picture in your mind ask the florist for quantity and suggestion on flower within your budget. And choose seasonal flowers that can save you a lot of money.
4.      Try to select a weekday for the wedding, as most venues will charge extra for a weekend reservation. Seasons do also make a difference where Summer being the most expensive followed up by Spring.
 
5.      And always prefer local wedding vendor and let them know your budget and always do bargain as most vendors will keep a profit of 10%-15%. We believe 5%-7% profit is enough depending on the initial budget. So always bargain for the right price.
6.      Choose a venue with space, if the venue has bigger space you can create an amazing view with dim lights and tea candles will create a beautiful romantic atmosphere for the wedding couple. And as John Keates said “A thing of beauty is a joy forever” So if the venue is visually appealing it will touch more hearts then a million-dollar decoration on a tight space.
 
7.      We would recommend you to involve family and friends that will strengthen bonds and save a huge sum of money, delicate responsibility among friends and family and Important rule “Accept help when offered” but keep them checked and organised.
 
8.      Ask yourself if you want a big tag on your bridal wear or you are looking for quality. If you said quality to yourself in your mind, congratulation you can save a huge sum of money here too as I believe there are many designers who can help you with an awesome bridal wear without ripping off your wallet. Have a look around your locality I’m sure you will find one if not… let us know over the comment we will help you on that. And trust me we going to provide you similar quality with much cheaper price.
