Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime affair, it only happens once but can ruin your life together if you make bad decisions. Decisions that includes "spending money". It is painstaking most especially you have gone beyond your budget and you as newly wed deals with Loans and debt after your wedding day.
Is a very grand celebration a guarantee to a lifetime of togetherness? Definitely NOT.
How many celebrities have spent a millions on their wedding yet ended their marriage life in less than a year. A grand wedding does not ensure "happily ever after".
Your wedding doesn't need to be grandiose, what is important is it was done with grace and solemnity. If you are on tight budget, we offer different wedding packages for you!
DecorationFlowers are really expensive, a dozen of local grown roses would cost P150-200/doz, orchids would range from P180-300/doz. So again, I would advise you to look for a beautiful location such as a hotel with good interior (offers Tiffany chairs, big hanging chandeliers, nice wall lighting, carpeted flooring) or garden with many flowering plants so that you won't have to spend much on flowers and decor. Table Centerpieces: No one notices this stuff. you don't need crazy, extravagant centerpieces! less is more and simplicity is elegance. Mothers and bridesmaids doesn't necessarily need to carry their own bouquet a boutonniere or a wristlet will do.
Makeup
You don't need to pay for your bridesmaids hair and make up, you can actually ask them to bring their own makeup and help each other. You can also ask friend to assist them on your wedding day. Flower girls do not need make-up, you can ask their parents to take care of it. Limit your bridesmaids and flower girls to 3 or less, you do not need them to be many. Most of the time in a Filipino culture, bridesmaids and kids always arrive late during make-up sessions, kids have tantrums, they run and play here and there inside the hotel room. They are the #1 stressor on your wedding day. If you have too many of them, you need to get a bigger room, you need to get a bigger car for their transportation and you need to allot budget for their lunch/breakfast too! That's an added cost.
Food and beverages
Serving family style is actually the most expensive option, followed by regular table service. Go for buffet style, it's much less expensive and people can get what they want. Instead of an expensive cake, go for fondant looking cake, keep it less than 3 layers. Bad food is just bad, and it's not a nice experience for your guests. You should be prepared to spend the most money here. So not SUPER cheap, but again, we wanted the food to be good. You can budget P250-400/head for a decent food to be served.
Dress
There are so many ways to get a beautiful dress without spending more than P5,000 on your wedding dress alone. I got mine at P1,800 and my hubby's tuxedo at P2,000 at www.aliexpress.com. For both me and my hubby that's P3,800 for our outfits. Sellers here offer free shipping to the Philippines, you have to order ahead at least 60 days before your wedding. I will tell you a secret: Some of the bridal shops buy from this website, they modify the design a bit and sell it 3 times higher from its original price! You just have to be extra careful because there a bogus sellers online. If you dont want to take time and risk, you can also opt to rent a 2nd user gown.
