You can get package deals that do everything for you but it may cost a lot.<\/p>\n<p>To <strong>save money on your wedding venue think outside of the box<\/strong>.

But don&#8217;t forget to factor in elements such as toilets, furniture, waiting staff, tableware and so forth. Sometimes, something may seem a good deal, when in fact, there are parts missing you&#8217;ll need to hire elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>A good tip is to <strong>scout your local area<\/strong>, walk\/drive around and look for spaces that may work. Alternatively, try Google Maps or ask for recommendations in local Facebook groups.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you want a more traditional venue, then <strong>be flexible<\/strong>; go for last-minute availability or for a weekday date and negotiate a deal.

If you don&#8217;t have the money, you don&#8217;t have the money.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, I bought my dress from a wedding boutique by a designer that cost less. My husband meanwhile went for a mix and match outfits from different high street shops.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To be honest, half the dresses that are on a budget you would never realise were.

You could also design your own and get them printed (this is what I did!).<\/p>\n<p>Some companies now have a DIY version where you put together the stationery for a smaller price or offer <strong>digital invites<\/strong>. Get an illustrator to draw something beautiful and print them yourselves.<\/p>\n<p>Many wedding stationery companies have great budget options and would be willing to chat to you about your options, so do get in touch with them. Keep in mind that sometimes DIY doesn&#8217;t equal cheaper, costs can escalate, so do <strong>properly estimate DIY costs vs buying stationery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The more elements you add to your wedding stationery, the more it will cost.

You can always <strong>delay your honeymoon<\/strong> for when you have more money.<\/p>\n<p>Plan your honeymoon for a low travel season, for example, outside of the summer holidays, to save money. Or take a mini moon, to somewhere beautiful in the UK or for a city break (we had a <a title=\"Our Honeymoon in Bath\" href=\"https:\/\/wedissimo.com\/blog\/honeymoon-mini-moon-bath-cotswolds-weekend-uk-holiday-travel\/\">Bath honeymoon<\/a>).

Don&#8217;t be afraid to shop around.<\/p>\n<p>If you are really stuck, go for a budget high street ring for now and upgrade it in the future.
