Your mother could hardly believe what she’s seeing. “It’s eight weeks before your wedding, Jane. You should be up and about, meeting with suppliers.”

You smile at her without bothering to get up from where you are lounging with a wedding planner book in hand. “I am getting acquainted with suppliers, Mom. Just not physically yet.” You point to the title of the book, Amazing Wedding Planning. “This will save me big bucks and give a direction to my planning.”

Your mom doesn’t believe you, naturally, so you reel off what you had just learned. You tick off the many ways you can cut costs without compromising your perfect wedding.

1. The Dress
Special does not mean expensive - not always anyway. Buy your dress off the Internet or from a vintage dress shop. Better yet, get someone - an aunt, a friend - to make it for you!

2. The Invitations
Stick to simple fonts and simple, elegant cards. Not only are these economical, they will let you save on postage.

3. Flowers
Roses will cost you pretty pennies. Why not get dahlias instead? You may also get daisies, orchids, and lilies as these blooms are as friendly to the pocket as they are on the eyes.

Remember, it’s very difficult to stick to your wedding budget. Rise up to the challenge with a trusty wedding planner book.
