Cutting corners
This is a great lesson to learn for those of you who end up being married more than once, or one that you can pass on to your friends who have yet to walk down the aisle. Saving money on your wedding arrangements is great. You can skimp on party favors (no-one keeps them anyway), or expensive wine (people won’t notice once they’ve had a few).

But, don’t think that you can save a fortune by simply asking one of your more artsy friends to take your photos. These are pretty much the only souvenir you’ll have from the day, and you won’t forgive yourself if they’re blurry, or there aren’t any of you with your favorite Nanna who is no longer with us. Pay the professionals, they charge big bucks for a reason.
