SAN ANTONIO — Dreaming of the perfect San Antonio wedding at the San Fernando Cathedral?
Getting married on a Sunday might make that dream just that much more affordable.
The average cost of a wedding in Bexar County is between $17,294 and $28,823, according to CostOfWedding.com. So how can couples save money while still making their big day a reality?

How to cut back on the cost of your big day

If having a bar is important to the couple, there are a couple of ways to save money.

When it comes to the wedding website, there are a couple of elements our wedding planners all agreed on.
Couples should make sure to give details like directions, the terrain or recommended attire to the wedding, especially if the venue is difficult to find.
Letting the men know whether or not you expect people to wear black or a little bit more casual attire is acceptable, said Tracy French of The French Connection. If you have the expectation, then you need to tell people. Otherwise, people are going to show up in something other than what you’re wanting.

I had a lovely time working with Michelle and Lawrence of New Jersey to plan their destination wedding in Savannah, GA. Savannah is the most charming of US destinations. You may remember this couple as their wedding was featured on an episode of Married Away for the Style Network.
