Budget Savvy Wedding Planning

Once upon a time, there were only two places to get married: a church, or City Hall. Nowadays however, you can get married anywhere you like, so long as you have an ordained minister or registry officer to conduct the ceremony for you. This has opened up a whole new world for people in terms of places you could choose to get married. There are some fantastic location ideas for your wedding and each of these speaks mainly of you and your own personality.

Your Wedding Venue Should Suit Your Personality

Only recently, a couple who met in the convenience store in which they both work had their wedding ceremony in the convenience store itself for instance. Because you have free reign in terms of places you could choose to get married, it really is about finding a venue that speaks to you and your partner. Let’s take a look at some modern options and some traditional options, with the knowledge that everything in between is equally possible.

Get Married on Tropical Beach Abroad

In terms of modern options, it is now very popular to get married on a beach, or even abroad. Thailand and the Caribbean are popular destinations to get married in for instance. If you are a beach type of person, or if you feel your wedding should be surrounded by sun and warm weather, this may be for you. Often with the cost of travel, weddings are cheaper in Thailand than in America. Amazing beach front hotels rooms from $15 a night and catering from $2 each for the main mean and 30 cent beers. Wedding dresses with trains can be bought for $80 and amazing flowers from Bangkok’s famous flower markets can be ordered.

If you do want to marry outside of your country, you do need to check the legality in terms of getting a marriage license and registering your marriage here once you have said the magic “I do” words. However, as stated earlier, the sky is the limit and some people have taken this quite literally. Only recently, a sky diving couple got married while free falling from a plane. The complete opposite is also possible, with people getting married while scuba diving at the bottom of the sea.

Wedding in Your Church

If you prefer the traditional feel to a wedding, you still have the option of getting married in a church or at City Hall. You are under no obligation to go to exotic destinations. Some of the places you could choose to get married in terms of traditional buildings are incredibly beautiful. There is something special about getting married in a church, perhaps in the congregation to which you have belonged yourself for many years. It holds a sense of belonging, a sense of believing in the sanctity of marriage. As you can see, it all depends on what your own likes and dislikes are.There is something special about being surrounded by beautiful flowers and a church alter.  There is some really useful  information online  that can help you with this research for catering, flowers and just how things are done in Thailand. This website is great for estimating the cost of flowers and what is commonly available throughout Asia  that you can se yourself.
