Even if you have plenty of money, you can still make smart decisions and make your wedding ceremony less expensive. Why waste money when you can save some?

1. The extras

Keeping in mind tiny details is quite stressful and exhausting. Not only do you feel worried about the upcoming event, you have to pay money for all the extras you think you need. Look at other couple’s wedding pictures and you’ll see that signs and signatures on various items like utensils and napkins cost money. So do favors that are usually absolutely useless. There are additional pieces of whatever you think your guests might miss and dozens of other small things that make your wallet thinner. What people do notice is the food and the beverages rather than accessories.

2. The flowers

Before you make your flower order, contact a florist to find out how much the most commonly used wedding flowers cost. Fresh flowers can be expensive if you choose something exotic and unique. Roses are luxurious flowers and they cannot be cheap. The same applies to gardenias. Replace the expensive species with their cheaper alternatives. The list of flowers you can afford is endless and there is always something wonderful to pick from.
