Imagine that your wedding is coming up and you’re all caught up in planning for your big day. From the flowers to the venue, you’ve been running back and forth trying to get everything done before your big day but amidst all this work, you realize that you’ve got yourself a pretty hefty bill. The wedding is the day when you enter holy matrimony but it’s also a day that is notoriously known for being expensive, and a lot of people struggle to manage between what they want and what they can afford and manage. However, the truth is that you don’t have to spend a fortune and can save some money too! Don’t believe it? Then check out the following tips on saving money on your wedding.
1. Look For The Right Photographers
Your wedding deserves to be photographed! After all, these are photos that you’re going to cherish for the rest of your life. So, getting a photographer is a must but most well-established photographers don’t shy away from asking for an extremely out-of-the-league price. The best way you can save money is by looking for an up-and-coming photographer who doesn’t have an extensive portfolio.

2. Borrow It Out
Remember the time when you had to go to a festival but didn’t want to buy an item for one event so you just borrowed it from a friend? Yes, everyone has done that at least once. There’s nothing wrong with borrowing. It’s smart to borrow things that you need for a day or two only.

3. Cut The Transportation Cost
Did you know that if you have your wedding and reception at the same venue or at two different venues that are within walking distance of each other, you can save up to $4000? Shocking, isn’t it? It’s most certainly true! When your guests show up to your wedding, they expect you to have already managed and taken care of everything including transportation.
