Here are a few ways to make your budget work as hard as possible for your civil wedding look:
- Think about your wedding looks as more of a capsule wardrobe and consider which pieces can you wear across the weekend (not just for the individual events). For example can you rewear your shoes from your civil for your second look, or can you wear all or some of the jewellery for each event?
- Think about the elements you can rent - HURR have an amazing range of accessories to compliment your outfit. Have a look at 4th Element for incredible affordable rentable vintage jewellery
- Buy pieces you will wear again beyond the wedding day - think about other rewear opportunities and how they can become wardrobe staples. Don’t invest in necklines or styles you don’t normally wear
- Something borrowed - can you share jewellery or shoes with friends who are also getting married at a similar time (or have been married already?)
- Rent your look afterwards by listing it on HURR
