Some of these will help you save a bit, other will make your life easier, but ultimately, no bride should face her wedding day without knowing these tips. So, it’s time to start getting acquainted with these tricks of the trade! Read on.
(1) Use a separate email address for all wedding correspondences.
Before you even start emailing your first ever potential vendor, create a separate email address for all wedding-related correspondences. This way, you will not get wedding planning details mixed up with your personal emails. A little organization will help a lot!

(2) Use a convertible dress instead of having two or more dresses.
This will save you a lot of money and effort! A convertible dress will give you an instant second look, and will cost a lot less than getting a whole other second dress!

(3) You can keep your veil from flying using small magnetic weights.
If you’re going to have an outdoor wedding where it can be potentially very windy, secure your veil using tiny magnetic weights.

(4) Send digital save-the-date cards.
Going digital will save you on stationery expenses. So, instead of sending out save-the-date cards, switch to e-cards instead and send them over via email or messaging apps.

(6) Bring flats. You never know.
Even if you bought comfortable heels, it will be wise of you to bring flat shoes, just in case. You never know, especially if your guests plan to party the night away.

(7) Get a single layer cake that people can actually eat!
Towering cakes may cost a lot, so consider a single layer cake instead! This will save you money. Or, you can use the budget instead for extra dessert that the guests can actually enjoy as well.
