Would You Consider Having Your Wedding at a Retail Store?
What’s the latest trend in weddings? The “Retail Wedding” – where couples tie the knot at their favorite retail spot – everything from Home Depot to Taco Bell. It might sound like a novelty, but according to USA Today, many couples are forgoing a church or banquet hall for their special day. Why? Brides want their wedding to be different from everyone else’s, and instead of a themed-wedding with “Star Wars” or gothic costumes and decorations, the new trend is to choose a unique location for their nuptials.
Couples are also choosing to marry at stores for sentimental reasons. Maybe that’s where they met, or where they both worked. One bride in Michigan chose a T.J. Maxx because she’s a self-proclaimed “Maxxinista,” and the store has been a constant fixture in her life. The down economy is also playing into this retail wedding trend. People are trying to be resourceful and save money, maybe to buy a home or go on a honeymoon. A spokeswoman for Home Depot says they don’t charge to hold weddings in their stores. Any materials used during a ceremony – like buckets and plywood for pews – can easily be put back on the shelves.
It’s not just retail stores that are being used for a couple’s special day. Even with the smell of hot grease, fast-food restaurants have become marriage hotspots, too. McDonald’s, Burger King, White Castle and Dairy Queen have all recently hosted weddings, and because they’ll typically sell hundreds of dollars of burgers and drinks to wedding guests – and get loads of free publicity - they usually offer the space at no charge. So, if you’d like to have a unique wedding on the cheap, think about a local retail store or restaurant. Then you could ask the question: Would you like fries with that ring on your finger?

How To Light Your Wedding Reception Venue
We've all seen "Platinum Weddings" and "My Fair Wedding" with David Tutera. The wedding receptions that are captured for these TV shows are stunning. Although you may not have the $300,000 wedding budgets that these shows portray, you can still make your reception amazing with the use of lighting.
There are a few things to consider when lighting your wedding reception venue. Lighting can be broken down into a couple key elements. First, you have the uplighting or wall wash. Think of that as the background of a photo. Then, you have your monogram gobo projection or "name in lights". Then there are pin spots to highlight key elements like table centerpieces, your wedding cake or your sweetheart table. You top it all off with a dance floor or ceiling wash and patterned or "texture" lighting.
Examples of Wash Lighting or Uplighitng (Prices starting around $600)
Here are examples of monogram lights or "custom name in lights" gobo projections (Priced around $250):
You can pinspot table centerpieces (Pricing around $30 per table):
Add in some texture lighting on the ceiling or dance floor or even on the airwall (Prices starting around $300):
By using each of these elements, you keep the room well lit and eliminate dark areas in your reception hall. With lighting you can choose to keep your lighting static (or unchanged) throughout the event or for a little more money can have your lighting shift over time to different color settings. Maybe it's teal for dinner, red for dancing and amber for cocktail hour.

Unique Money Saving Wedding Planning Ideas And Tips To Help Bride’s Stick To Their Wedding Budget
Everyone wants to save money when planning their wedding. Brides want their wedding to be unique but spending $40,000 or more on your reception party is out of reach for most brides. Over the past 25 years in the wedding industry, we’ve seen some great money saving ideas. Most of these weddings were more personal and memorable than a typical cookie cutter wedding.
Here are some wedding planning ideas:
CEREMONY:
- If you have your ceremony in the same location as your reception, you can save on flowers and transportation costs.
- Ask one of your friends or family members to officiate your ceremony. Many states allow for a 1 day justice of the peace license to allow this.
- Do you know someone that plays an instrument or sings? Maybe they can play your entrance and exit song for the wedding ceremony?
RECEPTION VENUE:
- The choice of wedding reception venue will make or break your budget. This one decision has the greatest impact on it. ($100 per person venue v. a $75 per person venue equates to a $3750 difference with just 150 guests)
- Opting for a more unique venue (Museum, Barn, Vineyard, Bowling Alley, etc.) can go a long way in creating a unique wedding and reducing the per person cost of your reception
- If you curb your appetite for the highest price venue for your wedding reception, you could have money left in your budget for better entertainment, event lighting or architectural up-lighting that would go a long way is providing a better overall experience for your guests
- Choosing a station meal v. a sit down meal can also reduce the per person cost of your wedding
- Of course, you can reduce your guest count – If instead of inviting 150 guests, you limit it to 100 guests, you could save 33% off the venue bill (the largest portion of your budget goes to the reception/catering)
- Reducing the size of your wedding party will also save money on dresses, gifts, transportation
TABLE CENTERPIECES:
- Candles v. floral wedding centerpieces is a great way to save
- Table centerpieces can sometimes be done as a Do-It-Yourself project to better personalize your wedding
- Use family photos or name tables after vacations that you’ve taken or books that you’ve read. Use vintage albums and name tables after musical groups
- Take a simple glass vessel and fill it with fruit matching your wedding colors
THINGS YOU CAN SKIP COMPLETELY:
- The wedding cake – use cup cakes or sheet cakes instead
- Have a candy bar instead of the wedding cake ($300 worth of candy and containers v. $800 cake)
- Ice sculpture – does anyone really care?
- Wedding favors – most of these are thrown away in the car trash on the way home anyways
- Disposable cameras – no one uses film anymore. Why waste your money?
- Videographer – how many times will you watch the video of your wedding? Many photographers now are offering to video tape (using their HD ready digital cameras) certain portions of your wedding reception and exchange of vows.
BE UNIQUE
- Why use round tables when you can use rectangular tables? All the wedding shows are using long tables. Many facilities already own the tables, you just have to ask them to set the room differently.
- Think about your floor plan – by changing the floor plan, you can transform the room into something different. Make a lounge area. Move where the band sets up. Simple changes like this can make a dramatic change in feel without altering your budget at all
- Change the order of events – have your cocktail hour BEFORE your ceremony. Extend your cocktail hour. Have guests dance between courses. Stage your toasts at the end of dinner. All of these are FREE – but can make your wedding unique for both you and your guests.
- Design a “Signature Drink” with your venue – make sure it is a COLOR that goes with your wedding color pallet.
- Use lighting to accent the architecture or décor in your venue. A small expense in lighting can go a long way in making your venue look more expensive than it really is
We all have to live within our budget. Wedding planning is not any different – set a realistic wedding budget and decide what is most important to you on your wedding date. For some brides, photography is most important, so paying a little more for the photographer of your choice is the right choice. For some wedding couples, the entertainment is most important. For others, the food is of utmost importance. Your wedding budget should reflect these decisions. Saving money when you are planning your wedding is important. Spending your money wisely is priceless. Using some of these wedding tips and tricks can save you thousands of dollars off your wedding budget and might just make your wedding unique and more personal at the same time. Keep your wedding budget in check and have the wedding of your dreams at the same time.

Wedding Reception On A Budget
(CNN) -- It wasn't the dream wedding Rachel Sifuentes, 28, envisioned as a little girl.
No walking down a church aisle. No DJ at the reception. No white dress.
Instead, Sifuentes and her husband followed their attendants dancing down the center lane of a bowling alley where the neatly lined-up pins faded into the background. The ladies didn't carry flowers, but waved long ribbons. The bridal party relied on an iPod for entertainment. The bride wore a silky deep-blue gown -- the groom's favorite color -- purchased at a discount.
"Luckily, everything turned out to be great," said Sifuentes, who lives in Chicago, Illinois, and wanted to save money because her salary at the law firm where she works had been reduced.
Sifuentes' bowling alley wedding in January may not have been traditional, but the creative ceremony saved her thousands of dollars at a time when wallet tightening has become necessary for many American families. Her offbeat wedding is representative of a growing trend, wedding experts say, as brides are discovering cheap can be chic, and also inspire innovative party ideas.
"Necessity breeds ingenuity," said Ariel Meadow Stallings, a writer who runs the online bridal site Offbeat Bride.
She explains what has ushered in the recent trend of frugal yet creative brides: "It's the combination of the economy with the fact that through the '90s, there was a big explosion of the wedding industrial complex."
--Ariel Meadow Stallings, wedding writer
Weddings remain a multibillion-dollar industry and summer is the busiest season. There were about 2.2million weddings in 2009, with each event averaging 128 guests, according to The Wedding Report Inc., a research company that tracks the wedding industry.
But the wedding business may slowly be eroding in the fragile economy. The average cost for a wedding dipped in 2009 to about $19,500 from a peak of $28,700 in 2007, said The Wedding Report Inc. So far this year, wedding spending has improved -- with the economy -- to an average of $23,800.
Sifuentes' bowling alley wedding was a bargain: She spent about $5,000, which included the ceremony and reception.
Websites and blogs -- such as A Practical Wedding and 2000 Dollar Wedding -- have surfaced over the last few years to help brides creatively pinch their pennies.
In Maine this summer, one bride substituted a baked potato bar for a traditional five-course meal at the reception. Other brides have replaced costly gourmet cakes from bakeries with homemade Rice Krispies treats and chocolate chip cookies.
Some couples recommended switching from a dinnertime reception to a brunch or hosting the wedding on a weekday night rather than on the more popular Saturday. Other brides have abandoned expensive venues such as private hotels or banquet halls for public buildings, parks and libraries. One New York bride spent less than $600 on her wedding in 2007 by keeping the guest list short and having the ceremony in a public library.
When it comes to invitations, place settings, decorations and dresses, the brides have learned the power of DIY, which stands for "do it yourself."
But it's not always easy to have an offbeat wedding. Some wedding experts caution the bride may not have enough time to handle the extra responsibilities. Other brides say they still feel families and friends expect them to throw a lavish, traditional wedding.
"There was so much pressure on everything," said former bride Meg Keene, founder of the blog A Practical Wedding. "Everything was presented as obviously this is the option you'll chose, if you want it to be a good wedding."
For Sifuentes, throwing a bowling alley wedding came with some hesitation. She worried about what some guests would think about her cutbacks.
"I was concerned that I was going to come off as a cheap bride or not having a very nice wedding," she said. "I didn't want it to be a tacky wedding."
But her bowling alley wedding turned out to be classy, she said. About 70 of the couple's closest friends and family members joined them to feast on an Italian buffet. There was plenty of dancing, but they also found time to bowl.
A Brides.com survey in 2009 also found brides are watching expenses. Four out of five couples set a budget for their wedding. Half the brides will spend time researching financing for the ceremony and reception, the survey said.
"People are being smarter," said Ali Phillips, owner of a wedding planning boutique firm, Engaging Events by Ali, in Chicago. "They are asking themselves: Do we really need to have the fancy chairs? Do you really have to give wedding favors?"
Phillips, who has been a wedding consultant for nine years, said she noticed clients making cutbacks to guest lists and choosing fewer upgrades this year. For example, five years ago, the average guest list contained about 180 people. This year, the guest lists have about 120 people.
Jennifer Crawford, 30, of Huntington Beach, California, kept her wedding budget a priority. At her wedding in April, she shaved costs by having a seamstress copy the style of her dream gown that retailed at $2,800 at a boutique. Her handmade replica was a fraction of the cost -- $650.
--Ali Phillips, wedding planner
"What was best about this idea was being personally involved in the design process," Crawford said. "I did not want a cookie-cutter dress. I wanted it to be special and fun."
In Oklahoma, bride-to-be Ashley Heckathorn, 24, estimated she will save up to $15,000 by making her own bouquets, which will save her from whittling down the guest list. She is relying on Craigslist and friends' talents to find deals for her wedding, set for June 2011 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Some wedding experts say the wedding industry is recovering. Xochitl Gonzalez, a wedding consultant at Always a Bridesmaid in New York, said her guests aren't as afraid to spend money on the ceremony and reception as they were when the economy initially plummeted.
Rebecca Dolgin, executive editor at The Knot.com, said weddings are recession proof. But Dolgin said she noticed brides are shopping more carefully and comparing deals for their weddings.
"People generally only get married once," Dolgin said. "There may be ebbs and flows in the economy, but they are always going to look back on their wedding day."

What Do They Have To Say About Hiring A Qualified Professional DJ?
The following quotes are excerpts from an article published by Mobile Beat Magazine - a national trade publication about the importance of hiring a professional entertainer for your event:
"We paid $1,200 for an ice sculpture and had a family friend DJ our wedding. The ice sculpture eventually melted and our so-called friend never showed up. Had it not been for a DJ wrapping up a party in the adjacent room (who we hired on the spot), we would have had no music at all!"
"We had a friend-of-a-friend DJ our wedding for $250. He was late and had equipment problems. In hindsight, we should have done the same thing we did with our photographer and caterer - hire a professional!"
"My cousin was supposed to DJ at my wedding. I think he would have done a great job if he hadn't "flaked out" on us at the last minute. He decided to go to the Warp Tour concert instead. We had to scramble, but eventually found a professional DJ. We had a great wedding after all."
"We decided to save some money and hook up an IPod through a speaker system. A lot of people complained about not being able to make requests, and the IPod kept resetting itself or something. My husband had to keep going over to fix it. It was embarrassing. And we forgot all about a microphone for announcements. We winged it!"
"A friend turned us on to this guy who was half the price of DJs out of the phone book. We thought this was great! The only problem was he would never return our calls. About two weeks before the wedding, his cell phone was no longer working. We had to hire another company, and lost $100 on the first guy whom we have still never heard from!"
"Oh my God! Our DJ was the worst. He was a friend of my maid of honor. She said he was good so I hired him. Though the music was decent, everybody hated him. He was obnoxious and rude on the microphone. I guess he thought his jokes were funny, but this was MY wedding! My husband asked him to stop talking. We should have hired the DJ my sister had at her wedding. He was very professional!"
"I was forewarned about hiring friends to handle important matters at my wedding. I really didn't think the music was a bid deal. It was one of those things that I thought just kinda took care of itself. My friend was nice but was clueless about announcements and activities. He didn't have a lot of music either. My wedding was great... my DJ was just so-so!"
"We didn't budget for a DJ so a family friend did it for us as a wedding present. There were a lot of problems with the music and not many people danced. If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely budget for a DJ."
This photo above is a DJ who clearly does not care about the look of your wedding - no formal tuxedo, wires hanging everywhere. He probably even hung a huge self-promoting sign in front of his table to advertise for business and to ruin the photos of your reception. In the background of every photo - that damn sign will show up.

Real Wedding: Southern Summer Glam from Weddingwire.com
Laura + Josh
September 26, 2009
Historic Cedarwood – Nashville, TN
“Laura’s vision for their wedding: A mix of southern elegance and global flair with lots of color, rich, warm light, very intimate yet “big” with over-the-top, exotic styling. The design team at Cedarwood mixed gilded, flower laden candle chandeliers, branches, exotic flowers, birds, nests and layered fabrics for this glamorous décor. Think “The Great Gatsby” meets “Moulin Rouge.”
Laura turned to Wedding Paper Divas to custom design her colorful wedding invitations, and she personally designed and created wedding programs, artistic table cards and favor CD covers in coordinated colors with charming bird motifs. Laura’s mom, Suzanne, with help from her middle school students, made colorful paper origami cranes to symbolize marriage attributes of patience and understanding and to shower Laura and Josh with happiness and prosperity on their wedding day.” -Cedarwood Design Team
