Tips to save some wedding Costs

[gettingmarri]

Hihi,
I am in midst of preparing my wedding later this year. Am sharing some tips on saving some wedding cost (which can be considerable)

1) Gowns - am getting 2nd hand gown online from brides.
Some are selling nice design at very good price 50% off. Though they are 2nd hand and worn earlier by brides, these will be the same as off-the-rack from bridal boutiques as well.

2) Photography - Getting my friend
Market rate is ~$1800-2000 for whole day AD event. My friend agreed to help out. Though he is new, but still can save a substantial amt of $$. ($1000-$1200)

3) Makeup and Hairstyling - getting Freelance Mua
Bridal boutique charges $800 for AD day n night etc. Finding online freelance mua not only can help to save up some $$ (lower rate), you can also find the mua whose makeup style you like. check out Makeupwifstyle, their package AD day n night is very reasonable <$550 for everything inclusive. I have engaged their service.

4) Flora car deco & bouquet - online order
Katong Florist rate is so far one of the better ones I have checked.

hope this helps. pls share more tips of cost savings if any of you have any.
