Every former bride\u00a0always warns that it’s the “little things” that break the bank when it comes to wedding planning.\u00a0You’ve already saved on the dress by shopping with Azazie of course (you smart cookie, you!), so we\u00a0thought we’d share some of the\u00a0budget-conscious tips\u00a0that we’ve discovered:<\/p>\n

Rent Your Accessories<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your accessorizing game could be described as “Kate Spade on a K-Mart budget” then Rent the Runway<\/a> is definitely your friend. You can easily spend $75 to rent a necklace but\u00a0you can also rent dazzling designer accessories for as low as $5. And when I say “designer,” I’m talking Oscar de la Renta, House of Harlow, Kate Spade \u2013 the real deal. Being cheap never looked so expensive!<\/p>\n

Buy used<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you have your eyes set on designer items like Louboutin sparkly heels, it’s hard to justify a $1k shoe budget. One way to get those luxe items: luxury consignment. \u00a0TheRealReal<\/a>, online store sells\u00a0gently used beauties\u00a0for a tenth<\/em> of their original price. Now, you don’t have to forgo those sparkly shoes you dreamt of walking down the isle with.<\/p>\n

\"Thumbtack<\/a><\/p>\n

Thumbtack your look<\/strong><\/p>\n

If there were awards for MVPs in wedding planning, Thumbtack<\/a> could easily take home the trophy. The process is simple: fill out a short questionnaire stating exactly what you’re looking for, like “Wedding hair and makeup for seven people,\u00a0must be willing to travel to my hotel in San Diego. Budget is $700. Notes: I want pinup hair with big barrel curls.” Thumbtack sends an alert out to all of their vendors in the area that match your criteria, and any interested vendor will respond back to you with a proposal. Easy-peasy! All your potential vendors come to you instead of you spending hours searching. See: How to feel like a queen.<\/p>\n
