If you are paying for your wedding, you have a few things to consider for your wedding on a budget. First of all, the location of your wedding, the number of guests, the musicians, type of food for the reception, and the number of guests all play a large part in the cost for the wedding. You need to decide what is more meaningful for the both of you so that you can still have the wedding that you both want, with some compromising. Figure out your budget and stick to it. Work around how much you can afford with a list of the most significant factors in your wedding.

Are you willing to do without expensive food? Realize that salmon or steak can be very costly, and you do not have to go that route. Wedding cakes that are flat sheet cakes are more inexpensive that wedding cakes in tiers. When you order your cake, do not call for a wedding cake as they are more expensive. You can still order an attractive decorative cake that will still look tasty and decorative, and pay less.

Plan your wedding for off season, such as during the winter months, during the weekday but not on a weekend like Saturday. You will probably encounter cheaper prices for halls and rentals. For music, ask a relative or friend that is talented to play an appropriate musical instrument or sing at your wedding. Make it their wedding present to the both of you. Also, you can find high school or college students that would be willing to perform music for a minimal fee-and many of these students are quite talented.

Don't forget you do not have to invite everyone in town or people you both hardly know to your wedding. Keep it simple and intimate so that you have people you both care for such as close friends and relatives who want to be there to celebrate your nuptials. Each person will cost money as you will have to feed them at the reception, and the food costs can add up quickly. Avoid open bars or liquor at your reception.

You don't have to have your wedding and reception in two separate locations. Keep transportation costs down, and the hall rental may be cheaper when the events are in the same place. For flowers in the hall or church, bring your own that you have grown yourself or ask a family member to help you get some flowers and plants to make the area look festive. They may bring their own or have creative ideas to help you out. Or if there is another wedding the same day as yours, you may consider splitting the cost of flowers with the other couple.

Don't be afraid to ask for help, your family and friends probably would love to help you make your nuptials an occasion the both of you will never forget. One last tip: try negotiating with the people furnishing food, the cake, flowers, and hall rental. They may have special deals that you are not aware of, so find out if you can get a deal. You won't know if they do if you don't ask.
