How to save money

Celebrate the season

To minimize decoration expenses, get married in a church that’s done up for the holidays or in a beautifully landscaped garden

Time share

See if there's another bride getting married in the same space that day, and offer to split the cost of candles, aisle runners and pew decorations.

Music matters

Rely on the church organist for the ceremony music instead of hiring your own musicians.

Pass on pageantry

If you’re having a simple ceremony, you don't need to hire candle lighters, altar servers, cantors, lecturers and readers—all of whom deserve a tip.

Smart loans

Some sites can lend you accessories such as aisle runners and chuppahs. Even if there's a fee for the loan, it will usually be less than the cost of buying or renting a custom piece.
