101 Best Cost-Cutting Wedding Tips

Wedding expenses can add up quickly, but you can stay on budget with these money-saving strategies.

To the surprise of many—if not most—couples, wedding expenses can add up quickly. Fortunately, there are lots of ways to trim your costs and still have the big day that you've dreamed about. Here, money-saving strategies from experts and recent brides and grooms. (Now you just have to figure out what to do with all that leftover cash!)

Budget Smarts from the Start

1. Resist the temptation to stock up on "bargains," such as cheap candles or ribbon, before you've actually decided upon the look of your wedding. "Fifty dollars here and a hundred dollars there add up, and you may end up not using the stuff," says New Jersey-based wedding planner Samantha Goldberg of Gold Events.

2. If you get a chunk of cash early on—say, a contribution from your parents—invest in a three-month CD, so you can earn some money until it's time to pay your vendors.

Mint Condition

One of the hot trends for this spring is the color mint.  It has been selected as the on-trend color for 2013.  Lighter than both Robin's Egg and Tiffany blue, it is soft and airy and lends itself to many different avenues of inspiration.  When combined with whites and ivorys, a sense of "something old" is felt while still being "something new".  Mixed amongst other pastels (in whatever colors you choose), one can imagine themselves surrounded by the feelings reminiscent of country-chic wedding.  And as a background for glass and crystal, it helps to emit an air of light glamour and sophistication. 

As always, we believe that every bride should go with her instincts and what will work for her wedding.  But remember that trends are simply a source of inspiration.  Take a moment and see if that inspiration will work for you.  Maybe it won't...but maybe it just will.
