How I cut costs on my wedding
I'm not the kind of person who thought much about weddings until I got engaged, so I was shocked by how much even the lowest-key wedding costs in New York City. Eventually, we found a few areas where we could cut back.First, we halved our venue cost by going for a DIY space that offered a tent, seating and little else. We also bought flowers in bulk from a local farm and hired our favorite (inexpensive) neighborhood restaurant to cater. And we leaned on our close friends' skills, getting our cake, officiation and transport as a gift. Since I love vintage clothes, I bought my dress from a consignment shop for $100.
But there were some areas where splurging was necessary. Hiring a coordinator for the day of, for example, meant that we could actually enjoy the ceremony and party. Getting my dress tailored ensured that it fit like a glove, even if the tailoring cost twice as much as the dress.
What we ended up with was a wedding that was unabashedly us — and cost about $25,000. But even with an unlimited budget, I'd do it this way again.

Hi Joyce,
Thanks for your question.
Unfortunately, the lenders we feature on our website only offer loans to American citizen or residents.
