We have the top 3 hacks for your luxury wedding so that you can focus on what’s really important – saying I do!
Do you want to have the wedding of your dreams in this economy? You may have already saved up for your dream wedding and a rainy day, but maybe increasing prices are packing a punch to your budget, and it feels more like hail than rain – don’t worry, after the rain, you will see the rainbow. That’s okay, we have a few tips to keep things in line. Here are some unique ways to save on a luxury wedding.
First, let’s define a luxury wedding. A luxury wedding is all about creating an undeniable, extravagant memory for you, your partner, and your guests. The three main factors of a luxury wedding, regardless of theme, are customization, decor, and location. It’s not all about price point either; the focus here is quality.
Now let’s check out a few ways to save big!
- DIY Customization
- Location: Already Owned or Public Spaces
- Bundle with Vendors
Hack #1: Bond with your wedding party and tap out your cricket machine
Customization defines the special bond that you and your partner share. Your personalized details are meticulously infused into your theme. On this level, you can compare price points from various vendors to see which offer aligns with your goals. Custom invitations alone can cost up to $3,000 or more, so you can take this as an opportunity for inspirational teamwork. You can get together with your wedding party to create one-of-a-kind wedding invitations, mementos, signature drinks (this can be fun to test out), and seating charts and cards.

There are stunning event spaces that automatically elevate ceremonies and receptions to luxurious heights. However, we need not forget the impact of a dreamy sunset, a colorful horizon, the majestic Aurora Borealis, or the red rock of many mountains.
Wedding venues can run anywhere from $7,000 to $40,000, depending on your style and size requirements. Instead, you can save the date to a public park with stunning views or even prepare your very own backyard.
Public park permits usually cost between $200 and $750. Keep in mind that you may have guest size restrictions, so this is sometimes most ideal for more intimate luxury weddings.

Don’t just save on home and auto with bundling – also see how many services you can book with a single vendor. The more services you book with one vendor, can increase the overall amount you can save per service. Instead of having two separate vendors for catering and your venue, find a venue that offers catering.
Surprisingly, many photography studios also offer DJ services, as well—another way for you to bundle and save. Now, you can keep the consistency in quality of service, and it’ll be easier to manage who to contact for your wedding needs.
All-inclusive resorts can also reduce the stress of planning without removing the quality of your special day. You’ll really save when you find a venue with a wedding package that offers everything from planning and coordination to decor and cake! This way, you can save on booking additional vendors.
