How to reduce your wedding budget?

The wedding budget is one of the first steps in order to organize a wedding. If the bride and groom want to have the wedding of their dreams, they are often held back by the budget constraint. However, there are many tricks to reduce the wedding budget. Indeed, a successful wedding does not necessarily mean an infinite budget. At Noces Italiennes, we organize a custom-made and unforgettable wedding according to your budget!

Discover in this article, our 5 tips to reduce your wedding expenses.

1. Getting married off season

Because 2 out of 3 weddings are organized between May and September and especially on Saturdays, the summer period represents the high season for weddings in France and Italy. The mild climate and the approach of summer are the main reasons for this choice. Thus, during these 20 Saturdays of the high season, service providers do not hesitate to increase their prices to take advantage of this seasonal opportunity.

In addition, getting married in low season or during the week allows for greater flexibility in the availability of venues. Reservations for a summer wedding should be made much earlier than for an off-wedding season. Opting for a winter or off-season wedding allows you to lower your wedding costs and expenses. The service providers are more available and therefore more open to discussion to negotiate the rates. You can expect to save between 20% and 30% on your wedding budget. Moreover, getting married on a Saturday is more expensive, so an effective way to reduce your wedding budget is to get married during the week. Jewish weddings for example are not held on Saturdays because of the Sabbath. You can organize your Jewish wedding in Italy with the help of our team of expert wedding planners in Italy. You can also choose to have your wedding during the week in case of a civil wedding or a religious wedding in Italy. The wedding planners of Noces Italiennes will accompany you in the administrative formalities in order to obtain the “Nulla Osta” certificate of capacity to marry, which is essential to process a civil wedding in Italy.

2. To call upon a wedding planner

The wedding planners’ mission is to take care of the organization and coordination of the wedding. This should allow the bride and groom to enjoy a perfect and unforgettable day. Furthermore, the wedding planners negotiate with the providers in order to obtain the best quality-price ratio. The providers will be more easily tempted to take advantage of your lack of knowledge of the market and of your geographical distance to send you unattractive price proposals.

Our team of wedding planners in Italy will help you save time and money when negotiating a wedding abroad. Cultural differences and language barriers are important parameters to take into account. We have selected the best service providers in the region according to criteria of excellence and professionalism that meet our quality charter. We ensure a high standard of service. Hiring a wedding planner will save you time and money. You will have more time to focus on other personal researches such as the choice of your dress or your wedding suit, the elaboration of the table plan or the preparation of your wedding vows in Italy.

3. Prepare your wedding in advance

A good way to reduce your wedding budget is of course to plan in advance. Why should you do this? First of all, to see the feasibility of your wedding project. Then, research and compare the different options available to you. Finally, preparing your wedding also allows you to take advantage of sales periods or private sales for the purchase of your wedding outfit or decorations. The more you anticipate the organization of your wedding, the more flexibility you will have in the choice of service providers and in particular in their availability. This will avoid you to find yourself in a situation of extreme urgency to choose a service provider by spite, without any specific reference, and with prices sometimes higher than those of the market. To guide you in the preparation of your wedding, our wedding planners will put at your disposal a collaborative retroplanning in order to follow the progress of the organization of your wedding and to validate the various stages from a distance.

4. Get off the beaten track

The wedding venue is often a topic of discussion. Not too big, not too far away and especially not too expensive. The problem is that the most popular venues are often the most expensive. Getting married abroad is then an alternative to choose an original place and thus to distinguish oneself from other weddings without paying more. In the event of a wedding in Italy, for example, the seaside venues, the masseria, the Italian castles or the trulli, are unique places whose beauty alone is enough to offer you a dream setting. This is one of the advantages of getting married in Italy or in Corsica: the natural beauty of the place will reduce your wedding decoration budget. Your wedding in Italy or Corsica will remain an unforgettable memory for you and your guests without having to increase your budget!

5. Choose an original wedding menu

The wedding meal is the biggest expense of the wedding. Indeed, the traditional wedding menus and the order of alcohol are the most important expenses in a wedding. The amount can quickly climb depending on the choice of the wedding menu and the number of guests. In Italy and Corsica, the meal is the most important moment of the wedding. It allows you to offer an original, tasty and above all copious menu without blowing your budget. The local restaurant owners have one priority. It is to serve and make discover their traditional cooking made with passion and authenticity to the wedding guest. Our team of wedding planners has selected for you the best chefs in each region in order to offer you the best gastronomy for your wedding at the best value.
