How to get married with a budget of 50,000 rubles? There can be many reasons for limiting the wedding budget, but you don't have to completely deny yourself the holiday. Based on my own experience, I will share with you how to celebrate the wedding as inexpensively but beautifully as possible. Let's see how you can make your wedding romantic and delicate for a minimal fee.
1. Rings
Choose classic wedding rings without stones, carvings and the name of a fashion designer. Such rings look very noble and easy to use - they do not cling to clothes, they are easier to clean. Name engraving and gemstone inlays can be ordered after the wedding. A couple of simple engagement rings will cost you 10,000 rubles.
2. Suit
A suit, shirt and tie are not difficult to find in a wide range of prices. You should not take a wedding suit - an ordinary one will come in handy, at least, for going to other people's weddings. The budget is 5000 rubles.
3. The dress is white
A wedding dress can be borrowed from friends, rented, and also bought from hands, if you have such good friends, and you do not suffer from prejudices and superstitions. This option did not suit me, but I didn’t want to spend 100,000 rubles for a dress for one day. The most democratic options can be found online. Instead of going, say, to the center of Moscow, it is better to take a stroll through the wedding shops of the Moscow region. There, prices can be pleasantly surprised. I managed to buy a gorgeous dress for 10,000 rubles, and I am still delighted with it. You can buy a beautiful Greek-style evening dress or a "little white dress" in the 80s style. A veil can be tailored from a piece of tulle, which will cost no more than 500 rubles. You can easily find a diagram for cutting and assembling a veil in various versions. I embroidered mine with beads. The work took a couple of evenings, but I liked the process and the result.
4. Shoes
Shoes don't have to be white! You can match them to the color of the bouquet, ribbon on the dress, and so on. That is, you can use the shoes that you have. If you are determined to new and white - do not look for them in wedding salons. Buy from a regular shoe store. At the same time, grab ballet flats there. A wedding is a difficult event, especially for your feet. The budget is 1500 rubles.
5 beauty salon
Every bride wants to look irresistible on her wedding day. This fact brings great profit to many, especially to beauty salons. Are you sure you need everything that is offered there?
Don't build up your nails. A classic neat manicure with a coating of white, golden or pale pink varnish is enough. Surely, among your friends there is someone who knows how to take care of your nails and will gladly give you a manicure. If there are none, then a simple manicure will cost you about 500 rubles.
But it is better to pay special attention to the hairstyle. First of all, decide what suits you. What models will hide your flaws and highlight your advantages? If you can't figure it out on your own, consult a specialist. Negotiate an evening, not a wedding hairstyle. Give up tiaras, flowers in your hair - they will only increase the cost and complexity of the work, and the hairstyle can look spectacular without them. The budget is 2000 rubles.
6 banquet
Let's move on to the celebration itself. You won't surprise anyone with restaurants, but the prices in them continue to surprise you, especially at the end of the banquet. Surely among your friends and relatives there are owners of a country house or summer cottage with a beautiful garden or just a good lawn, which you do not mind trampling. You can also go for a picnic on the picturesque bank of a river or lake.
The main thing is to organize the event correctly and agree that several people from your friends or relatives will be responsible for the festive table. Your acquaintances probably have teenage children. During the holidays, they will gladly take on these responsibilities for a small fee.
7. Decoration
If there is no space under a roof or a canopy, you can set the table in the open air. Place several tables in one row and cover them with beautiful tablecloths. Better if they are white or golden. If your wedding has a special color scheme, you can use it when choosing a tablecloth.
When celebrating a wedding in summer or early fall, you can use garden flowers or even wildflowers in the decoration. Let's say you have lilies at your disposal. Put them in one and a half liter jars, having previously tied the jars with ribbons or decorated with cloth. It does not take much time, it is convenient and beautiful.
Use disposable paper or plastic dishes, at least they don't need to be washed. Now on sale there are very beautiful plates and other cutlery that will decorate your table. If you can't find something original, focus on napkins. The main thing is that everything is harmoniously combined in color and style.
You can make your own wedding glasses. Buy the most common glasses or use the ones you have at home. You will need about 30 centimeters of lace (depending on the diameter of the glass) and 2 white fabric flowers. Use a glue gun or any waterproof glue to secure the lace around the glass and the flower at its base. You can also decorate your champagne bottles yourself.
On the trees in the garden, you can hang paper garlands, Christmas tree electric garlands, colored ribbons, photos of the bride and groom, carved hearts, balloons or balloons made of thread. Almost all of this can be done by hand. The main thing is not to shoulder everything on your own shoulders, but to distribute the work among several people.
Buy a regular arched frame for climbing roses. Look for them in gardening stores. It is not difficult to assemble, and if you decorate it with tulle or tulle, add balloons or fabric flowers, it will be a great place to make a vow in a fashionable Hollywood manner.
8. Menu
Let's take chicken kebab as a basis. In summer, profitable promotions are held for chicken kebabs. You can also add a vegetarian version of grilled vegetables. If your grandmother grows tomato cucumbers and is just waiting for you to taste her vegetables, please her. Why buy in a store something that languishes in much better quality on your own beds? Make a vegetable salad, boil young potatoes, season with oil and green onions, and do not forget about delicious pickles and mushrooms. Add a couple of beautiful appetizers in the form of eggplant rolls, toast with grated cheese. This will be enough.
It is better to buy alcohol in specialized stores. Take a closer look at promotions and discounts in supermarkets, compare prices. And also grab a couple of bottles of delicious aunt's tincture on the table.
Don't forget about soft drinks too. Water, juices, soda. You can add homemade fruit drink or compote to this. A wedding table for 30 people can cost only 10,000 rubles.
9 cake
Prices for wedding cakes are not encouraging, but you want a beautiful cake? Looking for volunteers again. From ready-made cakes with homemade cream, an unusually tasty cake is obtained. If there is any special homemade recipe, feel free to use it. And by decorating the dessert with marzipan flowers, bright sprinkles and a figurine of the bride and groom, you will see how charming a homemade cake can be. Don't miss the size - there should be enough sweet treats for all guests.
Don't forget tea and coffee. If you are celebrating a wedding where there is no way to boil tea, stock up on a couple of large thermos flasks.
10 script
As is customary at off-site registration, you can take your oath and exchange rings. Witnesses can replace the registry office employee, as well as the toastmaster.
Meeting parents with bread and salt looks beautiful and symbolic. Towel? Not necessary! And as a loaf, any round bread will do.
Managing your own wedding in a fluffy dress is not realistic. Arrange with witnesses to take over the event. Only you need to choose active, lively, talkative and responsible comrades who will not fall into the salad after the first toast. You also need a music companion. Even a smartphone connected to powerful speakers will be enough for a small party. Teenagers will be happy to take care of the musical arrangement. Just provide them with a playlist in which the song should be marked for your first dance, soft background music and dance music.
So after meeting the guests, you perform a slow dance and sit down at the table. Witnesses should periodically be reminded of the toasting so that guests do not get bored or yawn. After everyone congratulates the newlyweds, you can dance. For fans of contests, you can hold them as well. Light up the "FAMILY FOCUS", put a book on the table for writing wishes, arrange a slide show through a laptop. If your friends are creative mates, you can include their performances in the program.
After everyone is tired, we move on to tea drinking. Remember that the bride and groom are cutting the cake together. After dessert, you can have a small fireworks display or use Chinese lanterns.
11. Photographer
Photos from the wedding are a very valuable part of it. It is a memory, it is an opportunity to relive the birth of your family. Of course, it is better to hire a professional photographer. Compare prices, be sure to check pictures from other weddings. You can hire a good photographer for 2 hours for a photo walk. Have a photo of you against the backdrop of beautiful landscapes, with fun romantic accessories, while still completely sober, not shabby. And during the feast, ask one of your friends to take a picture of you. Photo walk from 2000 rubles.
