Here are some ways a bride and groom can save money with a Vermont Microwedding
at The Woodshed Lodge or Janski Manor
Guest List
One of the most significant cost savings in a microwedding is the smaller guest list. Limit your guest count to your closest family and friends. This reduces expenses related to catering, seating, and venue size.
DIY Decor
Create your own wedding decor and centerpieces. Incorporate natural elements and the Vermont landscape into your decor to save on floral arrangements.
Photographer/Videographer
Hire a photographer for a shorter duration to capture the essential moments, or ask a talented friend to take photos. Skip the videographer or opt for a smaller package.
Transportation
If your wedding venue is close to where you're staying, skip the expense of renting transportation.
Venue Selection
Choose a smaller, more intimate venue. Vermont offers a variety of beautiful, affordable locations, such as parks, gardens, or smaller event spaces, which can be more budget-friendly than large reception halls.
Off Peak Date
Choose an off-peak wedding date, such as a weekday or a non-peak season, to get better deals on venue rentals and other services.
Wedding Attire
Look for budget-friendly wedding attire options. Consider buying a pre-loved wedding dress or renting formal wear. Bridesmaids and groomsmen can wear outfits they already own or choose affordable attire.
Favors
Skip wedding favors or choose budget-friendly options like homemade jam, local Vermont maple syrup, or small potted plants.
Catering
Opt for simpler catering options, such as a buffet or family-style meal, instead of a formal plated dinner. You can also consider a potluck-style reception where guests contribute dishes.
Minimalist Invitations
Save on stationery costs by opting for digital invitations or creating your own with simple, elegant designs. Consider forgoing paper RSVP cards and use online RSVPs instead.
Cake & Desserts
Opt for a smaller wedding cake or dessert table with a variety of treats instead of an elaborate tiered cake. You can also have a friend or family member bake the wedding cake.
Day-of-Coordinator
Enlist the help of a friend or family member to act as a day-of coordinator instead of hiring a professional wedding planner.
By making thoughtful choices and prioritizing what truly matters to you as a couple, you can create a memorable microwedding in Vermont while keeping costs manageable. Focus on the intimate and meaningful aspects of your wedding day, and you'll find that you can have a beautiful celebration creating memories to last a lifetime without breaking the bank.
