Some days of the year have a lot of wedding lined up, if you happen to choose the same for your wedding, chances are that you will be paying a lot more than the regular charges for the place. It is the matter of demand and supply. And on the other hand if you choose the lean season you can get a good discount on the booking. Venue and food are the two major expenses for any wedding ceremony

For planning a wedding on a small budget, details like clothes, jewelery, flowers, cakes, decorations, catering and everything else should be planned in advance and then you can take each item in the list individually to find out how and where you can save money without being cheap on the quality.

Ideally you should start your planning at a minimum four months in advance. Keep everything in writing so that you don’t miss out on anything and nothing is left to the last moment. Arranging for things in a hurry is always expensive and you may also have to compromise on quality. Wedding planning can be easy and fun
