Not every wedding has to be extravagant! It is absolutely possible to have a low-cost wedding for under $2000. How do I know I’m so sure? I am living proof! It’s not a bad thing to have a low-cost wedding.
The fact that your wedding is referred to as a “budget wedding” does not detract from the importance of the event. In fact, you should be proud of it! Why would you pay tens of thousands of dollars to start your life with a debt-ridden spouse?
Don’t you realize that one of the most common causes for couples to quarrel is money? So the added stress of paying for your expensive wedding for the next ten years isn’t exactly a bed of roses.
The good news is that you can have a wedding that looks fantastic, feels amazing, and is also budget-friendly. Call it a low-cost wedding, a high-cost wedding, or simply a wedding on a tight budget. “Thinking outside the box” will make your wedding more spectacular (and cheap) than you ever imagined.
Are you ready to discover how I had a low-cost wedding and how you may as well?
How to Plan a Cheap Wedding?
I’m live proof that a wedding can be had for less than $1,000. Now, I’m not going to tell you I did it all by myself… That’s absurd. I had an army of amazing women, as well as a few guys, who assisted me in achieving my goal.
I’m not like the bulk of my friends. I’m unusual in that I despise debt. Not in the least. I also feel that marrying the love of your life does not imply that you should begin your life in debt.
Why put your marriage under unnecessary strain right from the start?
Weddings on a budget make sense. Everything about them has this effect. The entire goal of the day is to focus on your love for one another, not on how much money you’re spending. This means that if you put your thinking cap on, you can easily get married for less than $2000.
For less than $1000, I can find affordable wedding locations
It’s conceivable. Consider town halls, church basements, municipal and state parks, and so forth. Weddings are permitted in all of these locations, and none of them are prohibitively expensive.
In reality, a wedding venue can easily be found for under $1000. You might even be able to find a wedding location for around $500. That’s it.
See what comes up when you Google “budget wedding venues around me.” The amount of results that appear will astound you. You just have to put in the effort to find an affordable wedding venue.
Small intimate wedding settings appeal to me
There are a number of tiny wedding venues prepared to accommodate your wedding if you look hard enough and ask around. Small modest wedding venues can be found at:
- Many local churches simply charge a “tip” on whatever you choose to pay.
- Outdoor parks – check with your city hall to see what possibilities are available.
- City Hall — It’s not the most luxurious venue, but it’s a great place to get married on the cheap.
- Consider holding your wedding at an Airbnb site – you can rent out houses with gorgeous backyards for a low price!
All of these locations are great for a low-cost wedding!
I look for low-cost wedding gowns.
You will locate a low-cost wedding gown if you search hard enough. Believe me when I say this: What’s my money-saving tip? My wedding gown was purchased from a closed wedding boutique.
This was great for me, but it wasn’t so great for them. My ideal gown, on the other hand? It was $99.00 when it was on sale. For $49. I also grabbed the matching shoes. So, for $150, I had a complete wedding outfit.
