This and That - A Penny Saved

December 18, 2013

As you know every penny counts when it comes to your wedding, which is why you are on the hunt for some fabulous preloved items. This guest post gives you some other ideas for making your pennies stretch even further...

Every penny counts and when it comes to your wedding, you may what to splash out but really you know that it's crucial to save especially if you're thinking of little ones down the road! These are tough economic times but that doesn't mean that your imagination need reflect the doom: it is really trendy to find a style and theme that will coordinate with your pocket size and bank balance, plus leave a memorable impression on the future generations through all the imagery that will be recorded on this fabulous day. It will be unique and inspire many to follow the success that you will undoubtedly have.

Crucially be realistic about the numbers plus the venue for the reception as this is where the main bulk of the kitty will be drained. Perhaps you could also be very selective about who will attend the actual ceremony and then invite the friends with the extended family to the sit down mean and dance. Just an idea which will help with the spending,

The idea of being economical with the purse size is within all communities from our own English garden to the European countries, Asia,  the North and South American markets including the Middle Eastern as far as Iran: as Shahram Shirkhani, UK says 'my involvement in all aspects of assisting companies and individuals with their  finances are part of my interest in promoting an understanding between different countries about their economic structure and abilities, that is building a bridge between diverse beliefs and financial management.'

Start with a budget and do your best to keep to it but always have a contingency plan for any of those extras such as a guest who was forgotten on the list who must be attend the wedding, if there was a change in the price for the flowers or the drinks etc.

There are so many items that can be bought second-hand such as the dress, the accessories for the bride's maids as well as the decorations for the ceremony. The groom can also choose an extraordinary selection of wedding gear that would benefit his contribution to the wedding as this is the age where there is equality within the wedding plans. He may not be helping at all levels but he will want to be part of the process which sets a wonderful principle for the longevity of the couple's future together.

In former times, wedding principles were based on the future and not only the present which meant that the foundation for the couple's happiness was set out. Today we are looking to the past for the nostalgic reminder that marriage is for life and cutting corners along the way to achieve this goal is something to be proud of and one day, telling one's grand-children that the fairy-tale wedding they had was possible through a mutual decision to find cost-effective routes to attain a romantic and delightful wedding with the long-term results of yesteryear.
