Inspiration: As with anything in life, when one is uninspired there's a lot more heel dragging and things inevitably end up taxing extra time and money. Be prepared with creative exciting ideas and you will save on your wedding budget. Get ready to be inspired...

Our top wedding tips:

1) Plan ahead and invest time: Before you buy anything, before you commit to anything, research, read and research some more for sensational ideas. He/she with the most information wins.

2) Don't break the budget in an attempt to impress. The weddings which are remembered for many years after are the ones that touched people's hearts. They managed to connect and make people feel part of a special and down to earth celebration - and that is something money can't buy.

3) Be true to yourselves and let your wedding reflect your personalities. Don't organize a template wedding. (As stated before, inspiration saves money.)

Take your hobbies, past shared memories with families and guests, and infuse whatever else excites you into your wedding theme. Don't get bound by wedding traditions, if you love the sun and sand and you want to wear a sarong and incorporate sea shell napkin holders and floating candles into your wedding theme then do so.

4) Enjoy your own wedding! Sounds like straight forward advice, but you'll be surprised how many couples get swept up in the wedding whirlwind, and before they know it the day has passed. Don't sweat the small mistakes and imperfections, if everything went according to plan there wouldn't be place for spontaneity - where life and fun exciting things happen. Take time to reflect and appreciate the moment.
