Savings

Decorations! my future sister in law had all her decorations left over and it was similar to what I wanted. I can re-use most of it and the rest I had in supplies already give to me for free.

Flowers! My sister-in-law offered to make bouquets and my future mother-in-law offered to grow flowers for us to help us save money!

Our DJ is a friend, parents bought my dress, and are using a family wedding band.

View quoted message I love buy and sell pages they’ve been great for buying decorations for our wedding! Thought I was going to have to craft/diy a lot but I haven’t had to do a lot which makes my life easier lol

View quoted message I did the same. I bought all my centerpieces from someone on kijiji that has the same color scheme as me. It's really a great way to save and plus good way to reuse

My wedding cake and wedding dress! My sister from another mister makes cakes and she offered to make my wedding cake and cupcakes as a gift to me. My mom bought my wedding dress for me as well.

We are doing the decor ourselves, I have bought off of Facebook groups for the last ten months. I think I'm almost ready!! Lol

We saved on transportation fpr one and real flowers for a second. They weren't needed as our wedding was small and intimate.

We are getting married next summer but we are already making our budget that is already skyrocketing so we will probably send our invitations by email to save a bit.

We didn’t do paper invites. We did both our save the dates and invites digitally so that saved us a lot of money.

View quoted message Well at least you don't have to worry about going over on your wedding dress budget. I did the same thing, i saved as well in my invite and Dj but i put that savings toward my dress so i don't have to worry about going over.

View quoted message It's really great to know someone in the wedding industry. They often offer for free. I wish i knew or my fiance or families knew someone.

View quoted message That's awesome

View quoted message Is it all inclusive? And if it is then your saving with food and drinks 😀

View quoted message Wow that's lucky of you guys! I never won anything lol and obcourse you can upgrade for sure. My fiance culture he'll have to give me new rings in 5, 10, 25 and 50 years. Because my ring now will go to future DIL if i get a son then the 5 and 10 year ring to my daughter(s). Then i keep the other 2. I got his mom original ring and her 5 year ring since there's only him and her sister.

Wow that’s an amazing deal! We’ve saved some money by making our own wine but that’s about it so far lol and our DJ is a family friend and has offered to do our wedding for free but of course we’re still going to give him something!

Wedding bands we won them from one of the Bridal Expos, only had to pay shipping so $60 for both rings. I don't love mine but we both decided we will upgrade our rings at a later date for now they will do

I don't think we've had any savings, haha, SO MUCH MONEY.

We decided to do away with the wedding cake, so I guess we saved there?

View quoted message Oh nice! I did the same thing. I saved alot with invitations and put the savings towards my dress 😂

My moms best friend is decorating for me, she has her own business and my moms other best friend is our officiant whom I've known my whole life! Both services are probono! My neighbour is also designing our monogram and invitations as a wedding gift so that saved us a bit there as well! Although I must say, by saving money there just allowed me to inflate in other areas (such as my dresses) so I don't know if I'm really saving lol

I think our biggest saving was venue. We didn't have to pay a thing for it since it was family property.
