• DIY weddings and budget weddings are the new it
  type of occasion for the budget-conscious bride.
  At Labella Bridal Consignment Boutique, we
  understand that your wedding is your special day
  but that doesnt mean you have to go bankrupt to
  do it. In our shop we have dresses from designer
  labels that are all at an affordable price. Below
  are some tips for brides on how you can save some
  money on your big day.

1) Only Invite People You Really Want

• Some brides might not be keen on this advice. But
  for a lot of brides that long-lost cousin you
  havent seen in years isnt a necessary part of
  your day. You know exactly who you want to be
  there and who you dont. After the wedding you
  can send around a nice card with a picture of the
  big day!

2) Hire a Family-Owned Restaurant for Catering

• Food for a wedding can be one of the most
  expensive additions. But before you hire a
  catering company, check with a local,
  family-owned restaurant. They are much more
  likely to go the extra mile for a bride and
  wedding than a faceless company would.

3) Choose a Cheap or Free Location

• Hosting your wedding at a huge, fancy venue isnt
  needed. Keeping an eye out for deals can truly
  help in the long run. Having the wedding at a
  family home, a friends backyard, or even at an
  outdoors location can provide a cheap, or even
  free, alternative to an expensive hall.

4) Plan and Wait for Sales

• Most brides begin planning even before they have
  the ring. That being said, keeping an eye out for
  sale items youd love having at your wedding is a
  huge bonus. At Labella, we always have great
  deals and sales for brides. Give us a call and
  remember to mention Go Chic. Go Labella.

5) Skip the Fancy Cake

• That beautiful multi-tiered cake can cost a
  pretty penny. Going with an alternative is the
  new trend for a lot of brides. Have a buffet of
  ice cream and a lot of different toppings to put
  on. Or have a smaller wedding cake for the bride
  and groom to cut, and then cupcakes for the
  guests. Either option saves you money!

6) Skip the Pricey Rehearsal Dinner

• You can still have a rehearsal, but how about
  bucking the trend of an expensive meal and
  throwing a pizza party or a cookout instead? It
  will save you a ton of money and create a more
  relaxed and fun atmosphere.

7) Skip the DJ

• With the internet in full swing and music
  producing software everywhere there is little
  need for a DJ. Create your own playlist with your
  groom and bridal party. Load them on your iPod
  and borrow some speakers from a friend. Crank up
  the volume and youre ready to dance!

8) Toss the Save the Date Cards

• Most people you invite to your wedding will
  already know the date. Family, friends, and those
  in the bridal party can pass along the word to
  anyone you need to alert.

9) Create Your Own Invitations

• Going to a printing shop or ordering expensive
  wedding invitations online is a thing of the
  past. There are sites such as Etsy and Wilton
  which you can purchase invite templates from. You
  can design them yourself on your computer and
  then print them out. Its a much cheaper option!

10) Take Advantage of Students

• This is an option that a lot of people fail to
  think of or even try. are eager for experience
  and shooting your engagement photos or the actual
  wedding day can be a huge bonus for both of you.
  Some students will do it at low cost and some may
  do so for free so long as they can add your shots
  to their portfolio.
