Organize a low-cost wedding.
Planning a wedding shouldn’t mean going into debt. In fact, more and more couples are looking for a celebration that reflects who they truly are—without excess or social pressure. A low-cost wedding isn’t a poor wedding: it’s a wedding with heart and soul. And yes, it can be just as (or even more) beautiful, emotional, and unforgettable as a big-budget one.
The key is knowing where to invest and where to cut back, because it’s not about giving everything up—it’s about prioritizing what truly matters. Here’s how.
What’s worth investing in?
1. The Venue
The atmosphere is what gives soul to your day. If you choose a naturally charming venue—like a garden, a vineyard field, or a rural farmhouse—you’ve already done half the work. You won’t need to spend much on decoration, and the photos will turn out stunning.
Tip: Choose a venue that offers flexibility—one that allows you to hold the ceremony, meal, and party all in the same place, and doesn’t charge extra for every little detail.
2. Photography
Flowers fade, the food is gone… but the photos last forever. Investing in a good photographer ensures you capture the emotion of the moment. You don’t need the premium package, but you do need someone you connect with—someone who understands your style.
3. Simple but good food
You don’t need a five-course banquet. A quality aperitif, a buffet with local products, or even a well-chosen food truck can make both your guests and your budget happy.
Where you can cut back (and no one will notice)
1. Decorations
With seasonal flowers, candles, handmade garlands, and a bit of creativity, you can create beautiful and budget-friendly decor. Plus, if the venue is already charming on its own, you won’t need much more.
Tip: Ask crafty friends for help, look for inspiration on Pinterest, and go for the Do It Yourself approach.
2. Outfits and accessories
There are beautiful outfits available at affordable prices—second-hand or even rented. What matters most is feeling like yourselves. No need to wrap yourselves in an uncomfortable outfit just because tradition says so.
3. Guest favors
Traditional favors often get forgotten. A personal note, an instant photo, a homemade jam… the most beautiful keepsake is the one that touches the heart, not the most expensive one.
