Summer is the most popular time for weddings. You already have your diamond engagement ring. Now it's time to save on your wedding costs. If you are getting married this summer, it may be too late for advice. But for people planning future weddings, here are some tips for saving on the ceremony: 1. Get fake flowers online They're cheaper, and it's less hassle. You can probably buy all your flowers for just $50. There's no reason to spend hundreds of dollars on real flowers. They will die anyway. Plus you have to make sure they have enough water and the right temperatures. There's always a good chance one of the vases or flowerpots could tip over and then you have water and dirt to clean up. With fake flowers, there is no mess. It's also better because no one will have issues with allergies. 2. Hold the wedding somewhere free. This could mean you get married in your church or on your own farm or a grandparents' house or whatever it may be. Some people like to get married at a park or at their cabin or a family member's cabin. If you don't have to rent the space you will save yourself a ton of money. Sometimes when you rent a location, the company will also require that you hire their employees to do the decorating, cleaning, serving, etc. Save yourself some money by getting married somewhere free and doing as much of the work as you can by yourself. 3. Don't hire out for things you can do. Assign tasks to different family members rather than hiring professionals. And do everything that you can on your own. Through your own networking, you probably know enough people who can handle most of the things you will need - photography, cake decorating, etc. If you know the right people, you can get some great deals on services at a great quality. 4. Get married in the "off season." Summer is the most popular time to get married. If you can hold off until fall or even winter or spring, then you will save hundreds or even thousands. Everything will be cheaper because fewer weddings take place during those times. The venue will be cheaper. Decorations will be cheaper. Even the diamond jewelry in NYC will be cheaper. Even if you are getting married in the summer, buy what you can during other seasons. 5. Ask around about cakes Chances are you know someone who knows someone who can get you a cake for less than the typical price. If this isn't true with cakes, then it's probably true about jewelry or decorations or photography. 6. Cut back on the guest list. There's no reason to invite 250 people when you can get away with 150. Or if you were planning on inviting 500, why not cut it back to 350? Is it really necessary to invite all those people? Probably not. Don't invite people just for the gifts. And don't invite people because you feel obligated. Just invite the few people who are most important to you. http://www.SoKoBe.com offers a wide variety of 3 stone diamond rings and round diamond engagement rings to suit the needs of any jewelry appetite. ------------------ ARTICLE END ------------------ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
