Intimate weddings are on the rise!
Planning a wedding can be exciting and daunting, especially when working within a budget. However, an affordable wedding means something other than compromising on style or enjoyment. With careful planning and smart decisions, you can have the wedding of your dreams without breaking the bank.
Set a Budget
The first step is to establish a clear and realistic budget. Sit down with your partner and decide how much you want to spend overall. Break this down into categories such as ceremony, venue, outfit, catering, styling and entertainment. Having a detailed budget will help you prioritise and track expenses.
Keep it small
Your nearest & dearest! Spend your budget on your close circle, this reduces costs & creates a more memorable event. Each additional guest means more food, drinks & styling. With fewer guests, you can focus on spending quality time with your loved ones and those closest to you.
Make yours a weekday wedding
Weekday weddings can be a more budget-friendly option without the weekend premium and avoiding the cost of accommodation.
Holding a midweek, Mon – Thursday wedding allows for better discounts with venues & all vendors. This also opens up availability on all avenues of planning.
DIY
Couples have always valued personalisation and now they are also finding joy in getting creative and saving money with DIY projects.
Designing their invitations, name cards, and styling, to infuse even more meaning and fun into their special day while also cutting costs. You can do the same.

Pick a community space as your venue
When planning a wedding, venues can be one of the most expensive aspects. Instead of renting a typical venue, consider community venues such as local churches or surf life-saving clubs. Community spaces often can provide a charming and distinctive space for your big day.
The Financial Review has reported that you can save up to $20,000 by opting for a wedding in a community or local space. Community spaces are often located within the heart of the community, making them convenient for you and your guests. Many also offer self-catering options and free parking, further reducing costs.
These venues are typically blank canvases, allowing you to style as you like to create the perfect setting. By booking a community space, you can also feel good about supporting a local organisation, adding a meaningful touch to your special day.
