Budget concerns? i Saved $7,000 on my wedding

Hi everyone! I’m a 2022 Austin Bride and have been about to save $7,000 on my wedding. Here are a few of my tips:

1. Negotiating with vendors (i.e. offering to pay in full upfront in exchange for 5% off)
2. Researching most cost effective flowers and swapping out for more expensive/out of season flowers
3. Utilizing faux cake tiers with icing and buying sheet cake instead

Not sure if it would be beneficial but I’m happy to help others do the same - just message me!
