If you’re in the process of planning your wedding, the fact that today the average couple spends a whopping £20,000 on their big day will play on your mind. Before losing it, think that with the right inspiration and wedding tips you can save the event and some money.
Weddings are about moments rather than money. You can bring your dream to life without spending a fortune by making it big in emotions.
Even if you could afford it, spending that big lump of money on a single day could hinder the start of your next chapter together. Hopefully, the key to your successful wedding is to focus on the top features that will live long in the memory. Here are five aspects that can point you in the right, memorable direction.
Inspirational Wedding Tip #1: Invest in your Wedding Looks
A wedding day is about the happy couple and their life-long commitment to each other. With this in mind, the moment when you catch your eyes for the first time on that day will be the one that stays with you forever. Therefore, planning the big day around that instant moment makes complete sense. Investing in natural skincare leading up to the big day is vital and when combined with the dream outfits and the support of a reliable make-up artist, magical moments will follow.
Inspirational Wedding Tip #2: Write your own Vows
All couples want to get married in impressive surroundings. However, the love shared by two people is the most important feature. If you truly want the big day to stand out, writing your own vows could be the perfect solution. Not least because you don’t need to be a wordsmith to write meaningful words from your heart. Personalised vows will be cherished forever and be unique to your love story, while they can also be turned into canvas art or other decor for your marital home.
Inspirational Wedding Tip #3: Focus on the Entertainment
If the wedding venue is already romantic, you don’t need to spend too much time or money altering it. A few custom touches are all it takes to make it truly feel like yours. So, when thinking about the evening, a focus on entertainment will complement your venue and add extra magic. A music agency can help you find the perfect wedding singer or act. This is something your guests will talk about for a long time to come… It will also take pressure away from your first dance.
Inspirational Wedding Tip #4: Keep your Wedding Party Small
It’s great if you want to share your big day with important people in your life; however, when you have hundreds of guests, it’s hard to enjoy any significant moments with each guest. Conversely, a modest party allows you to create magical memories with the people who matter the most while also saving money. Besides, it gives you an extra incentive to start the celebrations with an engagement party for a bigger group.
Inspirational Wedding Tip #5: Capture the Moment
Even when you put all of the above features in place, the big day will pass quickly. Therefore, it’s important to capture the moment with stunning photos. While finding the perfect wedding photographer should be high on the agenda, you can do more. A custom Snapchat filter will encourage guests to take more snaps on their smartphones or you could place disposable cameras on the tables to gain a retro and romantic selection of shots.
Your wedding is still an investment of a lifetime but if you refocus on the moment itself and pay more attention to feelings, fun and the right atmosphere you’ll make your special day last longer and be worth each penny.
