fantastic excerpt from one of my fav blogs to read:
Get high tech. Spend the forty bucks to splurge on wedding planning software like Smart Wedding 4.0
that keeps track of things like spending, guests, seating,
appointments, vendors, and gifts. It’s like having your very own
wedding planner…except this one won’t push you into buying nasty little
packets of stale Jordan Almonds.Go to the library. Or better
yet, to one of those bookstores that have a little cafe and will let
you read books like Denise and Alan Fields’ Bridal Bargains: Secrets to Throwing a Fantastic Wedding on a Realistic Budget while drinking a latte.Be
confident in your ability to find the perfect dress for less. Don’t
feel you have to settle for retail prices. Surf the Internet
classfieds, check EBAY, visit sample sales, consider checking your
local Salvation Army or Goodwill outlet, and look for knockoffs.
Sometimes having an original dress handmade by a tailor can be less
expensive than buying it off the rack. Making your own dress with help
from books like Susan E. Andriks’ Bridal Gowns: How to Make the Wedding Dress of Your Dreams is also an option.Instead of booking an expensive hall, consider letting mother nature host your wedding. She has wonderful taste in colors!
Finally, use any resource you can. Plenty of Web sites, such as Brilliant Wedding Pages,
have oddles of money-saving tips and tricks that will help you choose
favors that are so fantastic, a dress that is so divine, and a setting
that is so sublime that no one will ever know you’re a budget queen.
