Do you need to decide where to splurge and where to save for your upcoming wedding? Here are 5 ways to still get the perfect wedding while keeping the costs reasonable:

1. The venue shapes an entire wedding. It shapes an entire reception. The venue is the one item that has to be perfect. Outdoor venues such as a Lake Tahoe wedding will generally be more affordable and more flexible in helping keep down other costs. Depending on the venue you choose, Saturdays can sometimes cost twice as much as Sundays or weekdays, so be open to scheduling creatively.

There are going to be friends in your life, who you love dearly, but who would not have much in common outside of their friendships with you.  That is part of life.  In most cases, those differing opinions, and mix-matched personalities can play nice for the sake of a wedding, which, after all, generally means only a handful of days in each other’s company.  But, sometimes it is not so much a case of indifference to one another as it is a deep-seeded dislike of each other.  When you have two friends who really don’t get along – whether there is a good reason for the hard feelings, or not – it can put you in an awkward position, especially if you have your heart set on having both stand at your side during the wedding ceremony.

Are you one of those people who seems to be doomed to crappy photos for the rest of your life?  While we are all self-critical when seeing pictures taken by others, we also want to feel good about the photos taken on our wedding days.  You are undoubtedly feeling the same.  So, we have a few tips to help you make the most of the big day and to get the wedding photos in Lake Tahoe that you so desire.

There is a great deal of thrill that comes with accepting a marriage proposal and starting the planning process.  The wedding day will, undoubtedly, be one the most memorable of your entire life, so, of course, you want it to be extremely special, and preferably perfect.  However, in all of your planning excitement, it can be easy to overlook the burden that you are placing on friends and loved ones. The women who you have invited to play a special part in your big day are most definitely happy to be recognized.  They most certainly want to be at your side as you say your vows, however, you have to remember how much expense can go into playing the part of bridesmaid.

The meal at your wedding can be very memorable, either in a good way or in a very bad way.  If you want to ensure that your guests have food worth savoring, then be sure that you don’t make these common wedding menu mistakes.

If you are like many women in this country, then your mother has a wedding gown that she once wore on her own special day, tucked away in the back of her closet.  Though she may not come out an express the hope to you, there is very likely a piece of her that would really like to see you dressed in the same gown for your wedding.  Of course, you likely had other plans, and don’t really want to wear an out-of-style dress as you walk the aisle before friends and family. Considering all of that, many brides have found that it is possible, and affordable to alter their mothers’ dresses to create modern, gorgeous gowns worthy of a contemporary bride.  That way, the moms get their wish of having the dress worn again, and the daughters are able to walk with pride in a dress of their own creation.
