Making Wedding Albums – Creation Tips

By

When it comes to your wedding, every piece of item should be the best, yet should fit your budget. One of the most important objects that should not be absent during a wedding is a wedding album. Though it may be true that there are a lot of albums to choose from that are sold in your local bookstores and wedding boutiques, it is also a fact that most of those albums can be quite pricey while some may be lacking in ‘sentimentality’. If you want the best album for your wedding, why not create one, for example, a leather photo album that is sure to last many, many years?

Wedding Planning on a Budget – Tips For Not Overspending

Guest Post by Katie Harris

Calculator, pen and agenda in black organizer case
Wedding planning on a budget is not that difficult, so long as you learn how to stick to your calculations and not spending too much. There are many options and decisions to be made, and money can slip from your hand quickly while planning for a large occasion like a wedding. However, it is possible to actually save money, and spend less than your projected budget…I am living proof of that. Below, I will teach you a few of the strategies I learned for planning my own wedding without doing too much damage to my bank account.

It’s Never to Early to Begin Planning

Even if you have just got engaged, and the wedding will probably be at least a year away, why not start planning for it now? Procrastination only leads to be rushed in the end, which can lead to hasty, expensive decision making. Plus, you are more likely to have to pay extra if you didn’t order something early enough to get it done or shipped in the standard amount of time.

Wedding Planning On A Budget

Guest Post by Sara Palyn Johnson

Some great man had once said “5 star weddings don’t always guarantee a happy marriage”! Young brides to be – their heads filled with silly romantic ideas gleaned from romantic movies and novels – would do well to understand this really simple point! A budget wedding planning, especially in the times of recession, isn’t such a bad thing at all.

Just reason with yourself. Instead of squandering away all your hard earned money and that of your dad’s as well on a wedding reception that will last for only 4 hours and then become entombed within a photo album for the rest of your life, won’t it make more sense if you invest that money into future savings? After all, we are living in a troubled economy at present.

Let me now impart a few solid tips on event wedding planning on a budget or limited budget plan wedding.

Wedding Planning on a Budget tip # 1

Instead of hiring a stretch limo or a Cadillac or some other kind of luxury car, use your own car or borrow your friend or relative’s luxury car. This will save a lot of money.

DIY wedding flower arrangements

Floral Arrangement
Wedding Flower arrangements are too expensive.

When I was looking for flowers arrangements for my wedding, I could not believe how expensive the flowers were. I literally went from flower store to flower store trying to find a deal and could not find one. My wedding was also in November which is a low season month.

Next to the photographer and catering, flowers are right up there when it comes to price. Boy are they expensive. What are these flowers made of. . .  gold? Are they going to last a whole year?

What ever the case, we do have to understand that a lot of these flower shops are in business to make money and like a lot of us they have bills to pay and families to feed. But don’t worry there is a way around this.

Here are some ideas of what some friends of mine have done in the past:

  • Places like Michael’s, Christmas Tree Shop and other craft shops have fabulous products (ribbons, fabrics, fake flowers, floral foam, etc) to make professional wedding flower arrangements. All this for a fraction of what you would pay in a flower shop. A lot of these stores even offer wedding decor workshops.  Michael’s website even has instructions on how to make certain flower arrangements and what material you will need.
