13
ways to throw a Luxe wedding without
breaking the bank!
1. SHOP FOR PRICES to get an idea how much you are supposed to be spending for your day. Meet
with venue managers and find out what you get per head with food/ drinks included which will
take the biggest chunk of your budget. With their prices being industry standard, you will be well
informed with how your budget should look like or better yet how many guests get invited to your
wedding. If you are planning savvy, start making enquiries on vendor prices from brides they have
successfully worked with in the past if not go straight to consulting with a professional planner.
2. LONG LIVE TRADITIONS If you plan on having both a traditional engagement (wedding) and a
white wedding, give your guests a Luxe experience by having a weekend long celebration. Start with
your trad on Friday or Saturday morning. The latter will cut costs when it comes to your catering bill
since you get to have one reception for both weddings. Send your guests off on a good note by throwing a Sunday thanksgiving Lunch. Set up long tables for an added elegance and re use centerpieces
and some decor elements to continue with the luxe theme.
3. GLAM BRIDES HAVE THE MOST FUN your wedding day look plays an important role in your
luxe wedding theme. Go all out on your look and book the best makeup artist and hair stylist you
know. If they are pricey, hire another glam squad for your bridal party who do great work but don’t
charge as much, after all it is your day. Choo se a gown that best compliments your body type; don’t
forget your groom, his dapper taste has to match the theme of the day, LUXURY! White jackets
paired with black pants or a cool blue suit is very much instyle. Instead of a gown change, focus on
getting such a glamorous gown you wouldn’t need to change out of. It gives you more time to enjoy
your reception which seems to go by too fast and save money as well.
