The wedding budget


 
Lucy Tobin shares her tips for saving on your wedding day


1. Go off-peak
It could be a midweek wedding or just opting for a morning ceremony and afternoon tea but booking your big day in an ‘off-peak’ slot could help you make big savings on your venue costs.
2. Pick a clever location
A savvy venue choice can save you a fortune - think outside-city location.
3. Consider all-inclusive
Opting for a hotel or restaurant package that offers the reception, wedding breakfast, booze and entertainment all in one often works out cheaper than organising each individually.
4. Ditch the invite
Yes it’s non-traditional, but setting up your own wedding website and emailing out the link means you can be much more imaginative, share more plans with guests and really make a splash.
5. Something borrowed
Think about who you know and how they could get involved - nine times out of ten, they'll be delighted to help! For example, your venue could be a family friend's garden, your wedding gown could be that gorgeous vintage dress belonging to your BFF and your uncle's posh car could pick you up. Get creative!
