How can I slash my dream wedding budget by £10k?

January 14, 2022 - 14:52 GMT Emily Andrew Bride on a budget? HELLO! has teamed up with the UK Alliance of Wedding Planners for their expert advice about maximising your wedding budget and the biggest money-wasting mistakes to avoid. This month, UKAWP Member Emily Andrew answers your question: How can I save 10k on my dream wedding without compromising on what I want?Whenever you think about weddings, the sheer expense of them springs to mind.

This is not for everyone and it can cause undue stress, but if you're realistic about what you can create in time for your wedding then it can be a really rewarding experience and a great way to make your day even more personal.

Go for a sustainable dress Have you considered a pre-loved bridal dress? This is also a great way to support a sustainable wedding. You will need to budget for alterations, but you can make substantial savings on bridal designers. Also consider hiring your groom's attire, rather than buying a whole new suit.

And, on the subject of clothing, what about your bridesmaids – have you considered only having one or two or asking them to purchase their own dresses and shoes? You may wish to broach that request sensitively and perhaps offer to pay for their hair and makeup instead.
