Here are great tips on how to keep costs down for your wedding day:

  • Start the planning process as early as possible.  The more time you have, the more research you can do and the less you can spend. 
  • Ask local married friends for suggestions on low cost but quality vendors
  • Find tools online to help with the budgeting and tracking process.  A great set of tools can be found at www.weddingwire.com or www.theknot.com
  • Buy in bulk from one of the deep discounters such as Costco or Wal-Mart’s Sam’s Club.  Also, take a look at Big Lots, where you can find decorations and supplies.
