Here comes the bride & the bills..

Weddings tend to get really expensive and in the end it's all about budgeting and realizing that not everything has to be as crazy as you make it.  Think about certain little things that can save you a buck or two.  Below are some ideas to keep your wedding costs down. 

1. Keep the wedding local.

2. Keep your numbers down for the actual wedding itself and party later on with everyone else.

3. Bridesmaids rental services: Forget about keeping the dress you'll never wear again, rent them for cheaper.

4. Simple and classy: Flowers and all those little details add up, so be smart about all those planning ideas.

5. Last fling before the ring: Do the bachelor and bachelorette together, but if you don't want to do that keep it to a certain fair budget, think of everyone in the wedding party.

6. Do it yourself: There are a lot of things you can do yourself for weddings like invitations,  flowers, table center pieces, don't go crazy!

7. Referrals or family: Knowing a  Dj's , hair stylist and or photographer when planning a wedding is key! They will cut you a deal and do just as good as a job.

Enjoy yourself!
