If you simply cannot pass up owning a diamond-studded ring, look to Lovis Diamonds, where you’ll find beautiful craftsmanship and prices starting from $293.
Since both the bride and groom will be wearing the bands for many years to come, a simple pair of rings can set worries of wear and scratches at ease. Eclarity’s range of wedding bands start from $1270.
Venues
With most hotel ballrooms and country clubs charging between $600 and $1000 per table, a high-end banquet can easily rack up a hefty bill. Instead, think outside the box and make use of unique, flexible spaces as lower-priced alternatives. They’re also sure to give your wedding an unforgettable twist.
Bet you never thought you could host your wedding banquet or cocktail in the almost-200 year old The Arts House at The Old Parliament! Its regal rooms will perfectly cater to art and culture enthusiasts and it can be rented from $100 per hour.
Dresses
There’s nothing worse than trying on countless dresses and finally finding the perfect one – only to realise it’s way out of your budget. With the popularity of clothing rental reaching new levels, getting your hands on a perfect gown (or three!) for your big day has never been so easy – or so affordable.
Dresses from The Gown Warehouse are perfect for brides who value having a wide array of designs to choose from.
