As any financially switched-on bride or groom knows, having your special day outside of the peak wedding season can help you save some all-important honeymoon budget. Saying “I do” mid-week, waiting until autumn, even looking for a pre-loved dress or suit: these are all smart hacks for the savvy couple.

 

Peak wedding season – May to August – may initially appeal when you’re planning your nuptials, however, increasingly couples are being drawn to the aesthetic appeal of an autumn or a winter wedding, and the not-inconsiderable benefit of getting an off-season bargain. Here at Cherry Godfrey we are committed to helping you tie the knot with added peace of mind and security. Read on to learn how we can support your journey down the aisle - and into wedded bliss!

 

Planned to Perfection

Even if you’re a laidback couple, it can’t hurt to indulge your inner bride or groomzilla a little – so get daydreaming and vision-boarding so you can plan your day to perfection! On the creative side, you can follow social-media hashtags and accounts that reflect you as a couple; start a Pinterest; or even an old-school scrapbook. If you’re interested in the data behind the save-the-date, there are plenty of wedding plans and apps to browse (also: do not overlook the humble spreadsheet!). 

 

Budget Bliss

It is vital to make sure that you establish a budget early on - else enthusiasm can send costs skyrocketing. If you’re financing your big day with some support from family, make sure that you are all on the same page about how much everyone is contributing before high-ticket, non-refundable expenses are committed to. If you find that your access to funds is falling short of what you need, you can always talk to us about a wedding loan. Our Personal Loans team can help you in a few simple steps: complete a quick online form (or request a call-back from the team); we will get back to you with either with a quote or with a request for additional information; and then if your loan is approved, the funds will be in your account in a few days (or less!).

 

 

I now pronounce you…

Whether you need to come to us for your something borrowed, or even just for a friendly discussion about the options. Contact us today to share your wedding plans and find out more about how we can support you.
