Can you have a luxurious Wedding and save over $10,000?

Did you know the average Australian spend on a wedding is around $28,000. Did you also know that couples that marry the second time around spend less than half of this amount. Sure, there are other factors at play such as number of guests, etc., but having been through two weddings myself - alot of the savings came from experience and know-how.

Your wedding should be one of the highlights of your life where you'll be the centre of attention of a beautiful event, something people will talk about for years to come. But unfortunately, planning a wedding can be stressful for many brides as there are hundreds of things to manage and coordinate all to come to fruition on your big day.

So how can you achieve all this and have a stunning and unforgettable wedding for under $10,000? The good news is that it can be done! When I was planning my wedding (2nd time around), I came across this amazing ebook by Brenda Westwood "Wise Wedding Planning, How you can stage a successful wedding that fits your budget", and it really helped me.

You are probably thinking second wedding - no way - why would I even think about spending so much, of course it would be cheaper than the first time around!! But you have to realise that although it was the second time for me, it was the first time for my partner. Now my partner's family didn't want to scrimp at all - they wanted the full works. It didn't feel right to deny them this experience but I couldn't bring myself to spend that sort of money again. Brenda's book was just what the doctor ordered. It had everything I needed to make my wedding beautiful, keep the costs down and keep everyone happy. I saved at least $1,000 on my wedding dress alone using some of the tips from her e-book.

Definitely worth checking it out - I hope she can help you as much as she helped me.
