#3 – Get Your Negotiation Hat On
Think of your wedding as a business deal. No, it’s not romantic but it can be effective in getting you and your partner the best deals on items. First, take the time to shop around and do your research. Be bold and ask for what you want. Many florists or caterers are willing to work with couples to meet their ideas and their budget.
Another great tip is to look out for package offers. Locations often have their preferred list of wedding vendors and if used can allow a discount. If you do find that the vendors package is out of your price range, let them know you love their idea behind the package but only have a certain amount to work with. Chances are, the vendor may be able to customise something along those same lines to suit your budget. To find out if it is possible, you need be flexible and bold enough to ask.
There is no reason to not have your dream wedding on a budget. Being cost effective does not necessarily mean sacrificing your special day. Armed with a few hacks and creativity you and your fiance can celebrate your love with your friends and family, in style.
