After reading an recent article about the record number of "British couples...heading abroad to get married in a bid to avoid the spiraling costs of UK weddings" (to read more click HERE) I decided to offer a few tips on how you can cut the costs but still have a fantastic Wedding.
1. Serve your Wedding Cake/Cupcakes as dessert
2. You may be surprised to learn that many venues still charge a 'cake cutting fee' this is an additional fee that they can charge to cut and serve the cake, so you may wish to double check before booking. A way around this would be to choose a cupcake display over a tiered cake. You will still be able to perform the ritual cake cutting with your new bride/groom by having a top cutting cake/giant cupcake.
3. Venue Decoration can be practical as well as providing 'finishing touches'. You may think about having Cupcake Bouquets or Candy Trees as your table centre pieces which can be later given out as Thank You gifts or again be apart of the dessert.
AND FINALLY...Don't forget to be upfront with your suppliers about your budget, they have experience, know their industry and may be able to offer some advice on how to "cut the costs without compromising the style.
