In these times of economic hardship, many couples will like to have a wedding that exudes all pomp but still low in expenses. They want to cut down on the luxurious and yet have an elegant wedding that their guests will like. The question is how can the host organize a wedding that will make them express their joy to the world and at the same time save money?


A modest wedding begins with planning. With the right planning you will be able to put together all the various elements such as catering, gowns, reception, flowers and photography without incurring much costs. Most significantly, you will be looking at things or services that you can get for free. Once you are able to identity these cost drivers, then you are off to a great start. Of course, the more freebies you can get, the lower your wedding cost will be.


One area to look at is how your family and friends can help. If you know of any professionals amongst them, you can pay a token fee for them to offer you such services. In most cases, they will like to do it for free.

You may also want to consider sponsored weddings. It is becoming increasingly common for celebrities to fund weddings as part of their goodwill gesture and for publicity. Depending on your preference, you can opt for this type of wedding.


You can ask someone to sponsor a part of your wedding. You can place ads at vantage points at your reception or wedding hall in return for cash or a service. However this need be done in a discreet way so that the guests do not feel that they are been used. You can have the music, transportation, reception hall or the photography sponsored.

Organizing a modest wedding is something you can achieve with thorough planning. You would only need to assess things you can get for free, discount items you can buy at lower prices and choose cheaper alternatives that still offer glamorous impression.
