Where to Skimp, Where to Splurge

Wedding pro Jane Dayus-Hinch shows how to budget on the fly

In the U.K., Jane Dayus-Hinch is known for saving the big day on the TV show “Wedding SOS,” granting couples three wishes to make their special day extraordinary. In the real world, though, she knows a little extra planning smarts goes a long way. Here are her tips for where to skimp and where to splurge.

Where to Skimp

Flowers: Some brides spend up to 20 percent of their budget on flowers, but with careful planning, flowers can serve a “dual” purpose, such as using the same arrangement on the singing table and head table.

Cake: Instead of having a full-fruit or three- or four-tiered cake, have the bottom tier in fruit as the base, and then have flavored sponge cakes or even cup cakes to reduce the cost. As long as there is a piece per guest, the rest is just waste and decoration.

Dress: Brides always choose the most expensive dress they think is appropriate. Now there are more dressmakers willing to copy any dress for a fraction of the cost. You may want to look like a princess, but do you have a royal budget?

Bridal Party: Is it really necessary to have 10 bridesmaids and groomsmen? Having a huge bridal party is an expense not only in clothing, shoes, flowers, etc., but also the gifts you are to give, as well. Go for quality, not quantity.

Where to Splurge

Photography: Getting a friend or relative to take the wedding photographs is a huge mistake. Not only is it very stressful for them, but if they are not what you want, relationships can be for a lifetime. Always book a professional photographer for the best results.

Food & Drinks: What most people remember about weddings is the food they ate and the wine they drank, and you will be judged on how “hospitable” you were. You can cut some of the courses, but when budgeting, allow for “extras.”

Entertainment: Please don’t chop the DJ and go for an mp3 player, it’s just not that same! To have a party, you need a band or DJ to make the party go with a swing.

Wedding Planner/Emcee: After planning the most expensive day, you need someone in control and in charge of the timings and itinerary. Money well spent!
