Guest List
Keep a short list of guests you will invite to your wedding. These should be the people who are closest to both you and your partner. An intimate wedding does make your day more memorable because it is easier to remember a smaller group of people who shared the momentous event. Congruent to an intimate list, the number of invitation cards to be made will be less; the reception hall can be smaller, albeit good enough to accommodate everyone comfortably; and the volume of wedding favors to be purchased is also less.
Food
Make the menu simple and not fanciful and limit the number of food items. However, ensure that the quantity of food is enough for all attendees.
Wedding Dress
For the bride-to-be, have your wedding dress tailored without elaborate designs and adornments. You may opt for a style that can be remodeled for future use. For the groom-to-be, the choice of suit can be rented or even borrowed. However, make sure that the suit looks very presentable and is as good as brand new.
Wedding Cake
This is a wedding essential that can cost you a great deal. Make your wedding cake simple without too many details. One option to cut the cost of a wedding cake is to have it made by a close relative or friend who will not charge you much - but the quality you will get is still reasonable.
Wedding Decor
Flowers are always eye catching items. The natural beauty of the flowers are simply enough to create a magical feel to your wedding. They do not have to be the expensive ones. It is the floral arrangement that adds the perfect touch. The church or hall will look appealing because of the way flowers are arranged and combined with other decors.
A simple wedding may still fulfil your aim of A dream wedding as long as you infuse into it your own personal touches. No matter how simple it may be, incorporating your own ideas will give you that feeling of satisfaction. The meaning of the day for both you and your partner is more important and overwhelming than the decors, flowers and cake combined. Indeed, with simple weddings, the common phrase - "Simplicity is Beauty" applies.
