As the credit crunch tightens up purse strings, I’ve been looking more at ways of having a cheap (but not cheap looking) wedding.
There are some great websites out there as resources.
An excerpt from “100 ways to cut wedding costs“:
Timing is everything
Whether it’s the season, time of day, or just a good time to shop,
considering timing can make a big difference in your budget. These are
a few ways you can put time on your side to get a good deal.1) Plan ahead: If you get started early, you’ll have the time and flexibility to shop sales, cut coupons, do-it-yourself and comparison shop.
2) Avoid party seasons:
If you get married during prom, Christmas, or other party seasons,
you’ll be competing with schools, corporations and other party planners
for venues, caterers and more. The demand can drive up costs
significantly.

A super helpful UK resource is the Cheap Wedding Blog filled with loads of goodies on everything from cheap wedding venues to stories from Real Life Brides who successfully pulled together a wedding on a budget.
And who couldn’t help but be inspired (and a little awed) by the $2000 Budget Wedding.
