PERFECT BUDGET VENDORS
Your wedding vendors are responsible for turning your vision into reality (no pressure, right?). So it’s essential that you take the time to choose pros who you’re actually excited to work with—and who are within budget, too. Yes, the process can feel a bit daunting at first, but we’re here to help ease the stress.

Step One: Figure out the basics.
Before you start researching wedding vendors, you’ll need to have a few pieces of information set: your wedding date, your budget, and your venue. You’ll need to know if vendors are available on your date (if they’re not, it’s pretty much a deal-breaker), can travel to your wedding location, and their pricing is within your budget’s range. These important details should be firmly set before you start reaching out to wedding pros.

Step Two: Start the search
Once you feel comfortable with your date, budget, and venue, you can start researching vendors in your area. There are a few ways to find vendors. Websites like Spacebook allow you to search for vendors quickly and easily based on your location. You can also attend wedding shows where you can meet a lot of vendors in person. There’s also word of mouth, talking to recently-married friends and family members to get their recommendations. You might also want to check out vendors on social media to get a better sense of their personalities.

Step Three: Read reviews
No matter how you initially research wedding vendors, it’s a good idea to cross-reference with online reviews written by real couples. Reviews often provide insight that you might not get from looking at a vendor’s website or meeting them at a wedding expo. Take note not only of the good reviews but how a vendor responds to not-so-great ones. A vendor doesn’t have to have completely perfect reviews to be a good fit for your wedding.

Step Four: Narrow it down.
You could probably come up with a list of dozens of wedding vendors who sound amazing, but for your own sanity, don’t reach out to too many. We recommend narrowing your list to three or four vendors in each category (photographers, makeup artists, etc.) to make that initial contact with. You can always reach out to more if none of your initial picks work out.

Step Five: Reach out.
Making that first contact with a wedding vendor can be a little tricky. There are three important pieces of information you’ll want to find out: If the vendor is available on your date, can travel to your location, and their package pricing is within your budget. Use this template for your initial message.

Hi [vendor name],

My name is [your name] and I found you on [mention where you found the photographer, whether on a website, at a wedding expo, etc.]. I am curious to more about your wedding services. I am getting married on [your wedding date] at [your wedding venue] and wanted to check your availability and receive any information on your packages and pricing.

Thank you!
[Your name and contact information]

The vendor should get back to you in a timely fashion—within a business day or so—or provide a reason why he or she isn’t available (vacation, travel, etc.). If you hear back and like what you see (the vendor is available on your date, the pricing is within range), set up an in-person meeting.

Step Six: Ask questions.
The in-person meeting with a vendor is crucial. Not only do you want your vendors to be creative and talented, you’ll also want to find people you actually like and trust. And it’s easiest to discover that at an in-person meeting, rather than over the phone or via email. If you can’t meet with a vendor in person, video chat is a decent alternative.

Come prepared with a list of questions, and don’t be afraid to bring up any concerns. You’re spending a lot of money here, and it’s essential that you’re comfortable with your decision-making. If you’re concerned about the vendor’s pricing, now is the time to be up front about your own budget and (politely) see if any adjustments can be made to a vendor’s package. They may very well say no, but it’s better to ask up front rather than after a contract has been drawn up.

Step Seven: Read the contract (and ask more questions!).
Once you’ve selected the wedding vendor you’d like to hire, it’s time to get a contract. Make sure you read the contract carefully before signing and have others read it as well. If you’re confused or concerned about any detail in the contract (especially the payment plan or any additional fees), don’t be afraid to ask. You should be 100 percent happy with the contract before signing and moving forward with a particular wedding

Step Eight: Book—and get next steps.
Signing a vendor contract marks the start of your official working relationship with a wedding pro. Even if your wedding is months (or years!) away, make sure you’re aware of what the next steps are. When should you meet with this particular vendor again, whether it’s for a tasting, planning session, engagement shoot, etc.? Also, what is the best way to communicate with this particular vendor—is email, phone or text best?

Step Nine: Stay in touch.
If you’ve been communicating with a wedding vendor and decide against hiring them, do not (we repeat, do not) “ghost” them. They may be holding a date for you and potentially turning down other clients to keep it reserved. Let them know (politely and promptly) that you’ve decided to go in a different direction.

Step Ten: Get recommendations.[/b]
Your wedding will run even more smoothly if your vendors work well together. Don’t be shy about asking your vendors for recommendations in different categories. If you like a particular vendor’s style, it’s likely that he or she frequently works with others who have similar personalities. For example, perhaps your photographer can recommend a videographer they work with often. Or a florist can recommend a lighting designer whose work they admire. Of course, planners are the ultimate pros at connecting couples with wedding pros. Just don’t forget to check those vendor reviews.

WHO TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING YOUR WHITE WEDDING DATE.

1. Your spouse: After you have thought of a date in mind, your spouse will also need to confirm that the said date is suitable for him or her.

2. Your parents: You will need to relay the said date to your parents to confirm that it is workable for them as well. Truth is the most important people that need to be there are your families and depending on your parent’s work schedule, where they are etc. you have to be considerate in getting approval from them.
The importance of your spouse's input cannot be overemphasized and in another post i discussed 3 things you need to discuss with your spouse before planning your wedding

3. Your parents-in-law: Due to the same reason in 2 above, you will need to inform your parents-in-law of your proposed date so they can also begin to plan towards it and so they can inform you if they have a serious engagement e.g. doctor’s appointment that day.

4. Your church: This is the most important as that is where you will be wedded. If the priest, deacon or pastor would not be available, you will hence need to fix a date that is possible for them as well, otherwise you will see yourself looking for a church at dying minute.

5. Your work: Finally, you will need to get approval from your office, I put this last because truthfully 1-4 are the most important. What you can do is save your leave for the year such that your wedding date can be on one of the days of your leave.

WISEST COUPLE EVER.

There's no doubt about the fact that weddings can be most times expensive. But the truth here is, can average couples afford marriage expenses when they are just newly getting married. If you are rich enough, you can make a big and expensive wedding but if otherwise, you need to learn how you can manage the available resources at hand. It is not all about getting married and getting to the altar, the married life comes to play after all the ceremonial activities and all that. Now if after spending all your resources to fund a wedding, what then becomes of you both when you get back home? Couples do need to plan and work on the plans critically so as not to get stranded after the marriage.

Some couples would say, ‘but we are going to have donations and gifts from friends, so lets spend it to the last’. Yes donations and gifts are expected to come, but what happens if the ones that came aren’t enough to carry you? Am sure you wouldn’t go out to start begging your neighbors and friends. It would be foolish on both couples if they aren’t also thinking about the future.

Marriage I know is a one time remarkable event in everyone’s life, but we also need to know that been in the marriage is very important than the ceremonial stuffs. Your friends and families and well-wishers would all come to your wedding, but after that, do they still come to know how you are fairing? The answer is No.
I will be showing to you how you can successfully plan a cheap wedding ceremony and save more for future expenses. Note! Planning a cheap wedding ceremony doesn’t imply that your wedding won’t be filled with fun and bliss or that you are just too poor. No, it means that the future of your marriage really matters much than the ceremonial activity of the present. You know why, you can’t feed the whole nation and then come back home looking for what to eat. Planning cheap wedding shows that you are as wise as the ant that stores food for the future.
So, if your budget cannot really cater for the most expensive custom-made gown, elegant invitation cards, or the top photographers, that doesn't mean that your wedding won’t be unique or special.

Here are a few tips I would like to share to you on how you can attain the height of a blissful wedding without having to spend all your fortunes.

Wedding Gowns
It’s good to wear the best and expensive wedding gown in town, but do you know you can save more taking another alternative? Why not go for a second-hand wedding gown in other to slice out the expenses of a new one. The second-hand made could not be as what others use but because you are wise and future-thinking, you need to improvise that. All you just have to do, is buy some make-up for the gown and save more for the future.

The Reception Hall

This aspect is always quiet expensive. Most of the owners of these reception halls don’t care if you are new couples or not, they are just after the money they can get from you. But to minimize spending much on this aspect, take keen note of the number of visitors that would be coming to the wedding. Try as much as you can to limit the number of your invitees. If the number of visitors coming would be much, that would demand a large reception hall which will cost extra money going into it. But if they are few visitors, the expense on hall won’t that be heavy on you. You don’t need to invite the whole world to the wedding, just plan right and invite few important guests.

Photography
Most photographers do charge much for their services. You can shop around to get a suitable rate. If there isn’t anyone that goes down well with you, then you need to improvise another means. You can implore the service of a family member to help take pictures at the reception while a photographer takes that in the church service or vice-versa.

Invitation Cards
You may think this isn’t important until you meet a graphic designer who would charge you much just to design a wedding card or calendar for you only and not even the printing aspect. But this is what you can probably do on your own and take it to the printing press who prints them out. You can make use of some software like Corel-Draw, Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop to get a well suitable design of your choice without having to consult a graphic designer to do the work for you. Just grab your laptop and little by little, you’d make our some meaning designs which you and your spouse can select.
If you don’t know how to make use of those soft wares to design, you can learn them before the wedding plans, as this will help reduce much expense.

Drinks and Food
Yes, we all know that this is one of the main reason why some guests attend wedding reception, some don't even go to church to witness the marriage vow, they go to the reception hall strait from their home so they could sit close to the serving point and eat varieties.
You can't really satisfy every guests that attend your wedding even though you make 100 varieties of food, its adviceable you get a cook while you pay them off for the cooking,it saves more cost than getting a whole catering services and charge high.

Summary

Your wedding can be expensive if you want it to and it can also be less expensive if you also want it to. What is your choice now? To spend the end all on a day wedding event and then come back home with nothing to move on or to be wise to reserve some for future occurrence.
