5 Money Saving Tips

1. Instead of hiring an expensive wedding planner, ask a friend of the family to help with the day-of duties. Schedule a few meetings during the whole planning process to keep them abreast of the details. A gift certificate to a nice restaurant or to a store you know they love is a great payment for their time and help.

2. If you are looking to hire a limousine, look through your local paper or even your junk mail for coupons.

3. Choose flowers that are in season and local for your bouquets and centerpieces.

4. Have your wedding on a Friday night instead of Saturday or Sunday. This could save you hundreds of dollars!!!

5. Bring the flowers that are used in your ceremony to the reception as centerpieces or extra decor.
