Brides magazine editor, Millie Martini Bratten, did an interview with ABC News on how to have a "Dream Wedding at a Dream Price." She gave tons of great tips. Here are the highlights:
Save on decorating expenses by having your reception at a venue that is already decorated and/or furnished or at least partially decorated, like a botanical gardens or a banquet hall that has chandeliers and nice table covers, etc.
You can usually get better rates if you choose an off-peak date. For instance, choose a date other than Saturday that is not in May, June or July, which are the busiest times for wedding professionals.
Tweak the meal. Go with a garden salad rather than a fancy multi-ingredient salad. Serve 3 courses instead of 4.
Let the wedding vendors know what your budget is and what your dream is and ask them how they can help you.

Enjoy!
