The Dress - Potentially your most important purchase!

1. Think about the material - Silk is beautiful but it is also expensive, consider satin for a similar look at a lower price.

2. Consider the length - The length of your dress will have an impact on the cost (less material, less cost).

3. Consider the Venue - If you are getting married in winter or a cold location then a winter wedding dress should keep you warm during the day. But a warm location such a beach wedding will demand a completely different style of beach wedding dress so that you don't end up a sweaty mess after 30 minutes.

4. Used wedding dresses - Don't dismiss these too quickly. Most will only have been worn once by one very careful owner and provided you can check them for grass stains around the hem etc. and there is scope for further alterations you should be able to grab a bargain.

5. Keep it simple - simple wedding dresses can be very elegant (think Grace Kelly). Plus they are usually cheaper as they do not have all the embellishments which are normally hand sewn onto the dress and this can put the cost up dramatically.

Tip of the month.

1. DIY wedding invitations - these are fast becoming the norm as they are very personal and they are not that hard to do. Provided you have the time and ability required. Here are some pointers on how to make your own wedding invitations.

2. Buy kits online - If you don't have the ability or the inclination to do it all from scratch you can easily buy kits online or upload the picture you want and the wording and get them made for you.

3. For those of you on a very tight budget you could always design an invite on your PC and email it to your guests. This is the most cost effective method.

4. You don't have to send RSVP cards - why not ask guests to call you or email you if they are attending or not. This will save you the cost of the RSVP card and the cost of postage.

5. Why not create a picture wedding invitation using a picture of you and your groom-to-be. This is a very personal invite which your guests will really appreciate and they are really easy to do.
