5. What is your top wedding budget tip(s)?

Set your budget before starting to purchase anything so it’s easier to keep track of things and hold yourself accountable.

Don’t be afraid to bargain shop.

All my jewelry I got from a bridal accessories outlet in Chino, CA and all the beautiful pieces were mostly 50% off retail or more. A long crystal/ beaded hair vine that I saw at a salon for $350 was $75 at the outlet!

I rented a dress from RentTheRunway.com and it was beautiful. You can also rent from local stores responding on where you live (we have a lot of bridal shops in the LA area that do this) or if you really want to buy a dress, don’t dismiss bridal outlets or secondhand/consignment stores.

You can get a beautiful gown for a fraction of what it cost when it was in the bridal salons. Every time Target had wedding themed things in their dollar department, I raided it. I got 12 mini chalkboards for dessert table for $9, and larger chalkboard signs from $1-$3 each, lights, mother of the bride and maid of honor tote bags, and much more.
