Wedding is a very important part of the life of being a couple. Waiting for the right time to be united as one with the blessing of both families and friends. Seeing yourself walking down the aisle and seeing your love waiting for you is the best feeling that money can't buy.
But is it necessary to outlay a big amount of money for your wedding day especially during this pandemic? For me, it is not necessary because there are many ways to save a big amount of money or to lessen the expenses and achieve your dream wedding.
If you are a bride to be these tips are perfect for you (No particular order);
∆ If you are looking for a gown with a premium and beautiful design. Try to browse Pre-loved gowns on Facebook pages. This is not for the nit-picky bride-to-be.
∆ Try to DIY the invitations, souvenir stickers using the Canva app or canvas online.
∆ Try to ask for help if you have a photographer friend if he/she can be your photographer so that he/she can give you a discount. Be practical. (In our prenup shoot we use our own DSLR camera and my cousin as our photographer).
∆ Purchase the infinity dresses that you will use for your entourage online because you can save money than renting the dresses. Just rent the boy's suits or tuxedos because it is hard to find them online.
∆ This pandemic, minimalist design for weddings is the best. Simple but elegant.
∆ Look for an affordable and beautiful place for your reception. And hire a trusted catering service that allows you and your partner to make your list of foods to serve. (We used our barangay gymnasium as our reception location).
∆ Make a list of all your guests so that you can manage the budget. Remember, you only have limited guests due to the pandemic protocols.
∆ Hire a quality emcee. So that it is not going to be boring.
∆ Hire a trusted makeup artist. If you have a friend that can do your makeup much better. (We hire my husband's best friend to do my makeup and it's worth it).
∆ If you want to hire a wedding singer, it's up to you but if you want to save money; music on Spotify can do the job of the wedding singer. (We hire the church choir and we played songs from Spotify at the reception area).
But before you and your partner do all the tips, make sure you settle first all the requirements of marriage. And consider the allotted budget for your wedding day. Don't forget that the most important part of the wedding is the blessing. Not the money or the gifts.
