Wedding Ideas to Meet the Budget



If you are planning your wedding day, you have likely stumbled upon a plethora of inspirational wedding ideas. The best wedding ideas are ones that you can afford. If your wedding budget is tight, there are some tips to keep it all within reason. While creativity and imagination are everything in this process, these wedding ideas are here to help you find solutions to planning decisions.

Wedding Ideas for the Guest Count


Your guest count count is probably one of the quickest ways to add and delete expense. Guests create the size of your wedding, and mean more of everything, including money. Dream your guest list big, but consult with your budget to keep it realistic. There are some creative wedding ideas to trim the guest count.


Create your wedding guest list to fill your venue with the people you want to celebrate with. You might consider having an adults-only wedding. An adults-only affair can eliminate a large number of guests and create instant savings. If having children at the wedding is important, remove coworkers and distant friends from your list first, while keeping family and close friends essential. Never invite someone to your wedding just because you are feeling guilty.

Wedding Ideas for the Venue

Couples are discovering that it can be challenging to find affordable wedding venues in a time when the average cost of a wedding in the United States is just over $30,000. One of the best wedding ideas for the budget is hosting your wedding at an all-inclusive wedding venue. Imagine a designer coordinating and creating every element of your theme with napkins, linens, sashes, runners, overlays, chargers, votives, and centerpieces at the location of your dreams with a price tag you can actually afford. All-inclusive wedding venues offer wedding ideas that can save you thousands on your wedding day and make more room within the budget for extra guests.


Wedding Ideas for Wedding Planning

One of the best wedding ideas for wedding planning is to plan your wedding with a designer at an all-inclusive wedding venue. Choosing an all-inclusive wedding venue with an in-house design team allows you to forego expensive planners, and gives you the opportunity to design your wedding the way you envision it. Wedding designers are different from planners and coordinators. They employ a developed artistic skill to create your theme and color scheme. Think of an interior designer and how they might enter your space and reimagine it. They meet with couples during wedding planning and sketch out a vision for the interior space of the venue.


In-house designers and planners can help you dream up wedding ideas that represent your relationship, and incorporate significant elements into the theme of your wedding and reception. They create model demonstrations or mock table settings to provide an example of wedding ideas. Designers use light effects, color and various textures to create desired effects. Tables are positioned and decorated to stage your event and merge with your theme. Your designer is integral to creating wedding ideas and wedding planning.
