THE ART OF WEDDING
Think big. Dreams don't cost much. Ask yourself what will be memorable in your wedding. The location, your bride gown, the jewels, the food and beverages, the printings, too, the boat you rent, the music played, a group of cool bride maids and your groom's friends. I'd say anything could do in a day like that. But believe it or not a fantastic wedding it's not a matter of money but only of time, and time somehow is money. In the book The Knot Ultimate Wedding Planner: Worksheets, Checklists, Etiquette, Calendars, and Answers to Frequently Asked Questions Carley Roney traces in a wedding vision worksheet the series of steps to take in one year, while Carley Roney again in The Knot Complete Guide to Weddings in the Real World: The Ultimate Source of Ideas, Advice, and Relief for the Bride and Groom and Those Who Love Them. teaches you how and where you could save money. But you shouldn't go that far buying all those books, maybe you could have a look at the Amazon's smart feature "Look inside the Book", I myself am abusing it, but it's worth of. Listen to what Denise Fields is saying in Bridal Bargains, 9th Edition: Secrets to Throwing a Fantastic Wedding on a Realistic Budget, it's brilliant: "The wedding industry isn't as innocent as it looks. You might think that the wedding industry is a collection of sweet old ladies whose only desire is to help young couples in love, but the reality is quite opposite. Instead think of the bridal biz as a group of cut-throat merchants, who in some cases would anything for a sale...". To be wise it's easier today with internet and if you search Google with this phrase: "wedding gown forum" you'll found a big support from real people on the best way to save with your dress, but specialized sites like The knot could give you a lot of support on themeing your wedding and for free.
The more time you will devote to the personal organization of the event, the more your dreams would get real, no matter how big they are, and have the wow effect you are longing to. There's only a case which will make things very expensive and it is when you want someone else to do it for you, when you put your dreams in the hand of a professional. In fact, in that case, you are doing anything else but hiring someone else's time and experience, that at certain extent it's a matter of time as well. In such a case you'll pay a really a big amount of money and, on my experience, you'll get a 20 per cent of what you have on your mind. So, start to plan, look at other's wedding, research internet the keyword is "cheap" followed by anything you want: linen centerpieces, receptions, dishes, chairs and get what you need at the best price, there's not sense on wasting money. and you can do great things with your creativity and a reasonable amount of money.
