Other ways of how to save at weddings:
1. Food = catering hands down has to be the most expensive thing at wedding, often people ask one question to establish the cost of a wedding "how much per head at the reception?" well there are three ways you can deal with this probably the most tasteful way is to see if you have a chef/caterer in your friend group/family who may offer mates rates, my younger sister was able to have a reception at a family friend restaurant pub for $10 a head for three course meal. Find someone you know who has a restaurant! If you really want to take it to the next level of cheap, Pot Luck reception, the guests bring the food cost almost zero per head.
2. Where do you get married - there is traditional location religious centers etc. But if you want to save get married in the middle of no where find some where beautiful people can get to, somewhere your married celebrant is willing to get to. Cost can be zero,
3. Wedding register - really put some thought about what you need and have a real range of presents and be open to gift vouchers, I have seen people have mostly presents $500 and up not really catering to the ring-in, and work friends.
4. Clothes is the one thing I don't really want to comment on, if you have a very fixed idea of what you want to wear, go for it no matter what price. But if you want to be incredibly practical then why not buy something you can wear again for other occasions. Other one that's important is photography, yes you could ask your friends to bring a camera, but it can be a bit risky I have seen many bad, or so-so wedding photo’s that was a shame, maybe an area to splurge on unless you have a very talented friend who is a wedding photographer. AND have a clear time for photo’s so the photographer has a clear time to capture the day.
