Don’t get caught up in spending thousands of dollars on a wedding venue. Brides sometimes get tricked into believing it has to be expensive to look gorgeous. This is not the case. By saving money on the location of the wedding you will have extra money to spend in other areas of your wedding, including the dress, the cake, or the honeymoon.

A Home You Know

Chances are you know someone with a beautiful home. If this is the case, you may already have a great place to have your wedding, you just have to ask. If you have a friend with an old historical home or a family member with a beautiful garden just ask to hold your wedding there. Your loved ones will be more than willing to help.

A Quaint Country Church

Don’t bother trying to book a big city church if you are on a budget. Many times these churches can be as expensive as the ritzy wedding halls. Instead search out a small, but well maintained church or chapel. These churches are only a fraction of the price, but just as beautiful.

Local Museums

Do you have a favorite museum in your hometown? Chances are they will rent an area of the museum to you at an hourly rate. Many people do not know that museums are an option, so this keeps the price down for us budget shoppers.

The Forest

For outdoorsy couples the forest is a very popular choice. If you know someone that owns the property this can save you a whole lot on expenses. A clearing in the middle of the woods will provide you a great setting for the exchanging of your wedding vows. Also with nature all around, you won’t have to try too hard with the decorations.

Mountaintop

Why not gather your guests and your husband to be on a mountaintop. This is sure to make a lasting impression, it is unique, and will not be forgotten anytime soon. You can surround yourself with beautiful scenery and it is more affordable than you might think. Check with city hall if the land is owned by the city or with the land owner if it is privately owned property.
