How To Make It Happen
Are you getting married in the next two years? If so, you have probably dreamt of a large, luxurious wedding, in a stunning location, surrounded by all of your friends and family.
Of course, in 2025, that will cost a small fortune, and with more people trying to keep their spending to a minimum, it can feel like you have to sacrifice the luxury feel of a wedding just to have one. That is, of course, not the case, and, even on a tight budget, there are many ways you can create a luxurious vibe for your wedding. So, read on to learn more!
Choose The Season
There is a lot to say about having a wedding in the middle of spring or summer. It is warmer, and it can make having an outdoor wedding easier. Of course, with the better weather comes added cost. Yes, due to supply and demand, wedding venues and reception spots charge more for hiring their services during the warmer seasons. Shocking!
So, instead of booking luxury reception venues for July and August, opt for the off-season. That way, you can book the reception hall you want, for a fraction of the price, allowing you to spend more money on those luxurious finishing touches.
Go Smaller
OK, so it’s easy to assume that when planning a luxury wedding, you have to invite everyone in your family and extended family along. The issue is that for that to work, you will need a larger venue, more food, and with that comes a higher cost.
Going smaller for a luxury feel on a shoestring budget can be better. That way, you don’t have to spend a fortune on booking an enormous hall or hiring an army of cooks for the reception.
Handmake The Decorations
Do you want a stunning centerpiece for each table at the reception? Why not try your hand at making them yourself? Ideal if you love a bit of arts and crafts!
Depending on the theme of your wedding, you can choose to get fake flowers, fake jewels, or combine the two into a small glass to make an interesting centerpiece for your guests table. You can also bulk-buy items online to help with handmade wedding décor, such as glass mason jars and fairy lights. To save money and time, stick to one theme for the wedding décor, or you will be spending most of the wedding prep getting each centerpiece completed, adding to the stress.
Choose a Stunning, No-Frills Location
Many people dream of getting married in a huge, all-inclusive location in a large city, especially if they are going for the luxury vibe. However, that is not always the wisest option, if you want to have a luxury wedding with minimal cost.
