The Do’s and Don’ts Of Budget Weddings

It seems to be that time of year. Everyone I speak to is trying to book their wedding photographer for next year. Many of the good ones are already booked up – so if you have a preference, get in there quick. For those that are still searching, then this article on sourcing wedding photographers will help you. It’s a must read.

Wedding Invitation Envelopes
If you’re making your own wedding invitations you’ll need some envelopes too. Most people, including me until I researched it, are quite confused by envelope sizes. So making sure you get the right size can be tricky. DL, C5 or square, and what if it doesn’t quite fit? This article outlines what you need to know about wedding invitation envelopes shapes and sizes.


Buy & Sell Wedding Dresses

NEW Wedding Dress Listings
Last month we launched the new second hand wedding dress listings. There are dresses being added daily, so why not come and check them out. There is a range of sizes and designers, including Sincerity, Maggie Sottero and Nicki Hill.

If you’ve already got your dress and are thinking about selling it after your big day, why not list it on Cheap Wedding Success now? Just state the date that it’s available (i.e. just after your wedding day) and then wait for the calls to come in. Don’t forget, you can use the money you make on another element of your wedding…

Cheap Wedding Success Moment

I’ve recently been looking on eBay to see how good it really is and I’ve been so surprised at how many wedding items are listed. Not only that, but how cheap the items are.

I’ve mentioned eBay a few times in some of my articles, but I’m now only just beginning to appreciate how good it really is for brides on a budget. I wish I’d used it more when I was getting married – I would have saved a fortune!

There’s everything you can imagine and it’s especially good for bridal tiaras and jewellery, all kinds of stationery, wedding favours including sweets, chocolates, favour bags and boxes, wedding veils - new and unused, bridal shoes and loads of other accessories.
