6 Things You Don’t Want to Skimp On For Your Wedding

We all know that getting married can be pretty expensive. And there’s nothing wrong with making cutbacks in a few areas. Being frugal is one thing, being too frugal, or cheap, is another. But there are some areas where you don’t want to be too frugal. We’re going to talk about six important areas where you don’t skimp on your wedding, which typically make the biggest impact on your wedding day.

1) The Venue

First of all, you’re going to need to think about the venue. The venue is a special place and it should convey the vibe of your wedding. So spend plenty of time choosing your venue. Compare the options that are out there. There’s an ideal venue for every couple, so don’t skimp and miss out on the one that’s right for you.

2) The Dress

The wedding dress, or whatever you plan to wear, is another magical and wonderful aspect of your wedding. You’re going to want to wear something that you love and that you feel confident in. That doesn’t mean you necessarily need to spend a fortune on your attire, but you should take the time finding the one that makes you feel like a princess on the day of your wedding.

3) Wedding Photography

Wedding photography is vitally important. Yes, we all have our memories. But sadly those memories will fade with time, so it’s nice to have these physical reminders of the day itself. With a great photographer, they’ll be able to tell the story of your day through photos. If you’re wondering how much does a wedding photographer cost, the answer usually is that you get what you pay for.

4) Great Food and Drinks

If you’re planning on serving any type of meal, whether it be dinner or brunch, you’ll want to choose a caterer that’s going to supply fantastic food and a bar service that will provide equally yummy beverages. It’s something that your guests will definitely appreciate.

5) A Wedding Planner

A wedding planner might be something that you’re thinking of skipping on. After all, you probably like the idea of having control over the planning and you want to save a bit of money. Nonetheless, a wedding planner can make everything go much more smoothly for you and it doesn’t have to mean relinquishing control of the wedding and how you want it all to be planned. The role of a wedding planner is to do things they way you want them done.

6) DJ/Band

You’re going to want to provide some type of entertainment. Can you imagine a wedding with no music? Probably not. So you’ll want to make sure your dj or band leader is not be boring or drones on, but will keep the energy up, and keep the party going.

If you’re going to get the most out of your wedding experience, you’ll need to figure out where to splurge and where to save. But even if the above items not high on your priority list, they are still be worthwhile, so don’t skimp on for your wedding, at least not too much. When all is said and done, you don’t want to end up with a wedding day that’s not what you want.
