 In the last month, we have been exploring how to achieve significant savings when it comes to planning your wedding. We thought we would take it a step further and produce a wedding guide on how to keep wedding costs down.
The Wedding Dress: Every girl dreams of their wedding dress however the dream dress does not have to cost the earth. Many large charity shops now offer a bridal range which includes second hand wedding dresses priced 75% less of what you would normally pay for a brand-new dress. When visiting The Cancer Research Shop in Eastbourne and the Delmeza Shop in Canterbury, we were so impressed by the quality and the designer dresses we found. The Guest List: Stay true to the saying, ‘As you get older you can count your true friends on one hand.’ Try to keep the guest list to close family and friends. If you can, keep the children at home, it’s a nice treat for the parents to have a child free weekend and let their hair down. Catering: Keep the catering simple and relaxed. Create large sharing platters, cold buffets, or a simple BBQ. Everyone loves good wholesome food at a wedding. Keeping the food simple and delicious creates a great atmosphere amongst guests. Use big wooden or slate boards to present the food plus creating a beautiful table centrepiece at the same time. Bar: Avoid the expensive drink packages. At The Pilgrims Rest we do not charge corkage and are happy for you to bring your own alcohol and drinks. Create a fun bar with all your favourite drinks and cocktails. Personalise it to you and your party. Keep an eye out for the great deals in the supermarkets. Wedding Cake: Bake your own wedding cake or if you’re not that great in the kitchen, Marks & Spencer’s have a wide range of plain wedding cakes available. Just add your own personal touch such as fresh flowers. Weddings can become expensive but there are plenty of ways to make sure you have the best day without it costing a fortune. At The Pilgrims Rest we have tried to eliminate these costs by offering a dry hire price but with a great deal of extras. With exclusive use, no corkage charge and no hidden extras, our unique, licensed venue gives you choice and flexibility to create your perfect day. To find out how you can have your exclusive venue and enjoy significant savings, please contact us on 07552873448 or venue@pilgrimsrestbattle.co.uk. We are holding a wedding open day on Sunday 9th December 2018, book your appointment today. Photography by Jessica Bevan - www.jessicabevanphotography.com Venue Styling by The Pilgrims Rest
