Cheap wedding accessories can appear on the wish-list for a bride and groom for a whole host of reasons, including saving up for a new house, a fabulous honeymoon or a blow-the-budget designer wedding dress!



New baby are expensive, so it's sensible to look for ways to trim your wedding expenses, without looking cheap!

So, whatever your reasons for planning a cheap wedding, these tips can help you stretch your wedding budget further with cheap wedding accessories.

Ideas for creative wedding accessories

1. Do as I did and have your wedding make-up done free by a department store sales consultant. I was even treated to a glass of bubbly because it was my wedding day!


2. Make your own cheap wedding garter ... even if you're a total klutz with a needle and thread I guarantee you'll find these instructions for cheap wedding garters easy'.


3. Think about borrowing 'family jewels' for the day ... don't buy one you'll never wear again if someone has one to lend you! It'll be your 'something old, something borrowed' too!


4. Don't buy a bride's emergency wedding kit, your bridesmaid can help with this.


5. Forget about a fancy wedding hairstyle. Have a great cut a few days before your big day, then style your hair yourself, or ask a friend to help you ... you'll save lots of money. Have some practice sessions to test out how to use your hair accessories.





6. Buy regular maternity tights for comfort, support and a big saving! No one will see your tights so don't waste money on luxury ones!


7. Treat your feet with simple ballet flats in place of ornate, expensive wedding shoes. If you're wearing a long wedding dress, no one will notice anyway.


8. Glamorise your look with cheap but chic hair pins, combs, clips, pearls or feathers. Claire's Accessories is a High Street treasure trove. I also found brilliant cheap wedding accessories online at Bhs.


9. Handy with a needle and thread? Consider making your own embellishing a cheap wedding veil with pretty beads, crystals or embroidery or making your own. Alternatively, scour eBay for bargains!


10. Wedding favours are a lovely 'thank you' for your guests, but it's easy to over-spend. I made my own!
