Your wedding day is going to be a fun, eventful and memorable event. But you don’t want to remember it as a day that you spent so much of your savings you almost regret it. To avoid this feeling, why don’t you read these budget-friendly wedding tips?

1.       Simple venue – instead of splurging on venue decorations, try to keep it as simple as you can. Find some odd crockery from shops or a slim glass vase? Place a single flower in the vase for a more dramatic effect. As for the crockery, place a few bundles of flowers from your garden.

2.       Free makeup artist – if you have a friend who is a makeup artist why don’t you tap his or her skills for your wedding? You can ask him or her to take care of your make up and this would serve as his or her gift for you. If you know how to put on your own makeup, do it.

3.       Paperless invitation card – in this digital age, why waste papers and spend cash on invitation cards when you can send it through email or Facebook and G+? Make use of these conveniences made available to you, says Alison Larwood

 
It is your wedding and you need to look relaxed, fresh and beautiful on this day. Never undermine the significance of hiring a professional cosmetic specialist. In reality it's as vital as getting the ideal wedding dress. And because there are tons of cosmetic artists out there, selecting one could be a bit challenging. So these are some helpful pointers on the best way to select the right makeup specialist for you:


Identify the look you would like - though cosmetic specialists are the authority when we talk about putting makeup, you know your face better than anybody else. Bring photos of different makeup that you need. This could give them a better notion of the look you need to achieve. 

Also, remember to bring photos of your bridal gown. Convey how you imagine yourself to appear like and ask their opinion. Hear what they have to say and don’t forget it. Select whoever offered the best advice.

Ask for suggestions - the best makeup artists are those suggested or referred by your trusted buddies since they already have experience with the said makeup specialist. Since they are the folk you trust, they will not advocate somebody who's going to do a ghastly job. 

If your mates could not refer anyone to you, go online and read the testimonials of prior clients. Check the makeup artists' portfolio too. 

Here are some things that you need to keep in mind:  
• Punctuality - when you set an appointment, did she or he arrive on time? 
• The brands they use - different folks have different makeup preferences. What products are they using? Is it okay with them if you use your own makeup pile? Are they pleased to do some makeup shopping for you? 
• Charge – How much do they charge? Is it within your budget?
• Specialty - is bridal makeup their specialty? This matters since you want to hire someone that can boost your best features and hide your flaws. If they are not capable of doing this, then there is not any point hiring them. 
• Availability - is she or he available on your big day? Remember to arrange an appointment at least one or two months ahead. 
• Does the cosmetic specialist lead you to feel good? On your big day, you do not just desire to look great but feel nice also. So select somebody you've a connection with; someone who can cheer you up; someone that makes you comfy particularly on the most significant day of your life. 

Take these tips into account before you hire a cosmetic specialist. You do not want to feel bad and look beaten down on your big day because of an awful makeup.

Always invest in a professional makeup artist on your wedding day to save you from a lot of tears and feelings of regrets. A Melbourne makeup artist once told me that a woman must not only worry about her wedding dress but her makeup and hairstyle as well.
