Top budget tips
Clever ways to keep your wedding budget costs under control...
Pick seasonal blooms
Before you set your heart on a beautiful flower, check to see whether it's in season when you're getting married. Peonies, for example, are only widely available in May and June. Flowers available out of season will have been imported or grown in a greenhouse, and will be significantly more expensive and probably poorer quality.
Shop locally
Shop around and look at designer collections in department stores for your dress, or even opt for a non-bridal gown. And keep an eye out for sample sales or reductions on favours and other table decorations.
Plan your budget carefully
Make use of the advice and planning expertise available. Confetti offer Planning tools for everything from a to do list, wedding budget planner, and personal web page, to a table planner, address book and guest list.
