WINDERMERE, U.K. - Dec. 14, 2020 - As the build up to your big day approaches, feelings of excitement, optimism, and romance grow stronger. With this said, weddings are not something that your bank account takes lightly. After splashing the cash on your ideal dress, dream venue, and cake, costs are already starting to add up.

Its reported that in the UK, couples spend on average £16,005 on their wedding day — a jaw dropping amount. With this in mind, we discuss some top tips on how to save on your wedding day and how to avoid an unnecessarily high budget.

Favour Off-Peak Days and Seasons

In order to avoid the premium prices venues charge for on-peak times, choose when your wedding day will be wisely. It's thought the most popular months to get married in the UK are between June and September, due to the weather being the most comfortable and warmest.

With regards to venues, while looking for the best ways to reduce costs on your big day, it's important not to settle for something just because it serves as a good cost reduction. So, whether it's a beach wedding abroad you've dreamed of, or wedding venue in the Lake District (https://www.lakedistrictcountryhotels.co.uk/lake-district...) due to your love for the countryside, these should never be pushed aside simply because a venue is cheaper elsewhere.

Rent vs Buy: Décor Edition

Since wedding décor is thought to provide the aesthetic backdrop your wedding photos need, deciding what decorations are needed is a vital part to your wedding plan. Its thought that a substantial amount of your budget should be put towards your wedding theme, but who says you have to buy them? In a lot of cases, it is much more cost effective to rent your decorations rather than buying them. Maybe your dream theme won't cause too much of a financial burden after all.


By taking a moment to think about the best ways to cut costs on your big day, you could see your dream wedding take place with the extra benefit of a reduction in cost. And all the more to spend on the honeymoon!
