You don't need to spend big bucks to celebrate your big day. We've got some tips that'll help you keep your wedding costs down.
Pick a Friday or Sunday night or plan a day wedding to save some major money.
Karri Dunn, National Weddings & Events Manager for Entertainment Cruises Boston
"Probably $20 to $50 a person just going on a different night. A day time wedding is definitely going to save probably half of the price."
Look for reception packages that include things like entertainment or a wedding cake.

"The venue can negotiate additional items or upgrades. They're going to get a much better deal."
Instead of an open bar, try a beer and wine package with a specialty cocktail.

"It could cost $30 to $40 per person difference."
Order wholesale flowers to create centerpieces and save hundreds.
And buy a sample or overstock wedding gown to get a designer dress for less.
Leslie DeAngelo, Vows Bridal Outlet
"The gowns here are all high-end designer dresses that we offer here at 50% to 75% off retail prices."
Now that makes cents.
