Instead of a three-course meal why not opt for a hot and cold buffet (even cater for yourself)? Instead of holding the reception in an expensive hotel suite or wedding reception, why not think having it at someone's home or a club, or even book a restaurant. Keep an open bar to a minimal and only serve beer, wine and soft drinks.

Photography

The clear choice is to shop nearby for the best rates, but think hiring a photographer for the ceremony only and ask a family member or friend to take snap photos of the reception. Or you could go one step supplementary and ask them to take the photographs for the whole day and not bother with the charge of a photographer at all.

Invitations / Stationery

Buy plain gold or white gold wedding bands as these are the cheapest.

Make your favors and center-peices yourself. Accessories for these can be found at exiguous outlet stores or online. Lastly, instead of a limousine why not rent a car or borrow a luxury car from a friend or relative?
