2. Select A Local Beach For Your Venue

Private beaches will naturally cost you more, so you can opt for a local beach as your wedding venue. Local beaches usually only need a permit, which doesn’t cost a lot as compared to booking a private beach. And if you make your bookings in advance you can choose favorable weather conditions as well.

4. Prepare A Guest List

Keeping in mind that you’re planning a budget wedding, don’t forget to narrow down your guest list as well. Since it’s a budget wedding, you don’t need to include the far-off relatives, just some close friends, and family members. Do not get carried away while preparing your guest list, and DO NOT forget to make a guest list. There’s a lot that will have a domino effect on your wedding budget. From catering to seating, everything will depend on your guests’ attendance.

6. Dress Up In Beachy Wedding Attires

Hear us out! Beach weddings are a lot more fun, and there’s no doubt about that. But do you both want to be dressed super-formally while your friends are letting loose? We think not! If you’re open to the idea of going easy and informal for your wedding dress then you can cut down the budget cost. We know, some of you are very adamant about your luxurious wedding dresses but if you care more about having a good time, then a beachy and casual wedding attire is the way to go.

7. Get Creative With Your Wedding Cake

There’s a lot one needs to bear in mind when planning a wedding on a budget. And when it comes to the wedding cake, we suggest you opt for some yummy and delicious cupcakes instead of a big, personalized wedding cake. Since there are a lot of guests, a wedding cake has to be big enough to serve them all, which can cost a lot. But at the end of the day, it’s about the taste and not the look. So, choosing cupcakes or macaroons instead of wedding cake can help you cut down the wedding cake cost for your beach wedding.
