Simply by combining your wedding with your honeymoon is sure to save you thousands. Before you go though, consider these other creative cost saving ideas for your wedding abroad:


Use a Package Deal
Many of the Tour Operators are crying out for your business, so there are plenty of great deals to be had. You’ll be all set up in a hotel and only pay between £500 - £1500 extra for the wedding, plus you’ll get a wedding planner to organise all the little extras thrown in for free!


Choose a Cheap Destination
Cyprus is great for a cheap wedding abroad, especially if you want to get married on the beach (they have outside marriage licences and plenty of stunning venues) or try Tuscany for idyllic rolling hills, fabulous Italian food and romantic villas in the sunshine.


Use a Wedding Planner
To get the best deals at your destination it’s worth paying for the services of a local wedding planner. They’ll be able to hit the ground running as they’ll be able to speak the language, know the customs and of course, the best (and most cost effective) suppliers.


Do it Yourself
To keep the costs of your cheap wedding abroad down, you can do certain elements yourself. You can make your own wedding stationery, favours and cake. It’ll save you a fortune and add a personal, yet unique, element to your wedding.


Throw Tradition out the Window
Usually being back in the UK, we tend to go along with the English traditions as it’s all just simply expected. There are always lashings of flowers, layers of cake, extra bridesmaids and lavish trimmings, most of which you don’t really need. With a cheap wedding abroad you can throw these out the window creating a much simpler affair and saving you thousands.


Use eBay
EBay is fantastic for all sorts of wedding items including veils, tiaras, silk flowers, stationery, wedding albums and well, the list goes on! It’s also excellent for wedding dresses, where you can pick up a made-to-measure dress from Asia for under £150 including post and packaging!
