Wedding Budget!!!

Where are you based lovely? congratulations on your engagement

Congratulations on your engagement!

If you're on a tight budget perhaps start looking at local halls, function rooms etc. That way you may be able to provide your own buffet, which will also work out cheaper. Good Luck!

Congratulations!

We're getting married at a register office and having a party at a village hall, with their own bar. Got a weekend deal - 1pm Friday to 11am Sunday - to allow for decorating and clearing up. All comes to the princely sum of £500. It's in a lovely little village and has a river running through the garden, with willow trees. Very much us, and much more relaxed than a formal venue package, so well worth looking at that sort of thing if you don't mind a blank canvas to play with ?

Keep an eye on groupon and wowcher, they often have wedding deals on there, all inclusive for some amazing venues at low prices

I was also going to say to keep an eye out for groupon deals.

Friends of mine got married in a nice pub which had a great function room upstairs and their whole package was £1k so it might be worth looking at nice pubs local to you to see whether they do something similar.

Then look on the high street, a sample sale or pre-loved for a bargain dress. I personally wouldn't recommend a dress from China having read and heard of so many horror stories as it sounds like a waste of money as you'll just have to buy another one.

You could also DIY a lot of bits to put the personal touch in and save some money.

Buy an M&S or Waitrose cake... still fantastic cakes but a fraction of the price.

Good luck with all your planning.
