Planning a Wedding with Thousands ($1,000) of DollarsWelcome to the wonderful world of the typical Seattle Wedding Budget! You are among friends. The vast majority of Seattle brides have a budget of a few thousand dollars, so your options for Seattle wedding vendors, Seattle wedding chapels and reception venues, and Seattle wedding services are virtually endless. However, to stay on budget, you will still need to choose which items to save on and which to splurge on if you are going to stay on budget. For some great money saving ideas, take a peak at our Simple wedding page. Here is one thing we are sure of: You are beautiful, wonderful, and special. You deserve a wedding unlike any you have been to before. If you fancy the seashore, a beach-wedding it is, or if you prefer the mountains, then a lodge-wedding is for you! BUT – "beach" doesn't mean "private country club, city-view beach" and "lodge" doesn't mean "Salish Lodge at Snoqualmie Falls". No. Venues like those will cost your entire few thousand dollars in one shot – without any food or beverages! But don't lose heart. There are plenty of waterfront, mountaintop, and many more wedding venues that you can afford. And you have come to the right place to find them! The secret to throwing a beautiful and unique Sweet Seattle wedding for a few thousand dollars is knowing when to splurge and when to save. If you save on the big items, like reception venue, caterer, and flowers, you can splurge on others, like a fantastic cake from Mikes Amazing Cakes and a custom-made, commemorative wedding video that you can watch for years to come. Sweet Seattle Wedding Planning Tips:Venue:If you find a venue you love, but it costs a bit more than you hoped, ask if they have reduced rental prices for daytime or weeknight weddings. Food:Try a late night, dessert wedding and offer a variety of small, individual desserts instead of a full meal. Drinks:If you serve alcohol, stick to either beer and wine, one signature mixed drink, or a cash bar. Cake:Display a small but beautifully decorated cake, then serve your guests from tasty sheet cakes hidden in the back. Flowers:Always use flowers that are local and in-season. This ensures freshness and lowest price. Use the same bouquets that line the ceremony aisle as centerpieces for reception tables. Decorations:Try displaying fresh fruits, berries, or greens in clear vases – they can be bought in bulk at food co-ops, and since you'll never eat them, it doesn't matter how they taste! Invitations & Papers:Capitalize on technology by having your guests RSVP via email, or at a personal wedding website (offered free through some large wedding websites, like TheKnot.com). Also, order your invitations from an outlet or do-it-yourself website service. See our Sweet wedding information list for vendors. The Numbers Game:Wedding costs skyrocket as your number of guests increases. Keep your numbers low to avoid spending more than you have.
