Having An Open Mind

It seems like almost every bride these days is asking me how to save money. While it's important to keep quality at the forefront, having an open mind can save you a lot of money. When you go to a vendor, be prepared for them to inspire you. Tell them what you like, but if you are looking to cut costs let them suggest creative ways to develop your theme. For example, if you go to the florist only wanting lilies but you also want them to give you an amazing deal, don't hold your breath. Their hands are tied when it comes to price. But, if you go in desiring an elegant, white bouquet you may just be surprised what they can come up with for you.

Keep this philosophy in mind when talking to your baker, caterer, bar tenders and more. And especially, don't be afraid to share your visions with your wedding planner and let her come up with ways to implement your inspirations for less. For me, this is one of my favorite aspects of planning!
