For the bride, the wedding is her most exciting moment, and the process of making wedding dresses, wedding photos, accessories, beauty cosmetics and other equipment before is also full of happiness and sweetness. Because, this is a moment when girls really experience the feelings of women in life. As said in Zhang Ailing's novels, when married, all women want to spend it safely.
However, after all, the profligate money is their own, especially for young couples who are not very rich in economic strength and have to provide housing and cars. Only when the wedding equipment is affordable and beautiful can everyone be happy. In terms of wedding equipment, the most expensive items are wedding photos, wedding ring accessories and pre-marital beauty care. Some brides and grooms spend nearly 654.38 million yuan in this respect. Of course, some of them belong to luxury consumption, and some of them fall into the swamp of wedding consumption because of poor planning.
In fact, decent and rich equipment does not have to be expensive. A bride with an economic mind can still make inexpensive bride equipment according to her own economic strength. Wedding ring accessories are basically real consumption, and there is not much room for saving money. The key is to understand your tolerance and try to be cost-effective; The luxury and basic level of premarital health care and beauty are quite flexible, so it is suggested to pay attention to consumption information and choose according to your own needs; Wedding photos are the key to saving money. Know yourself and yourself, be determined to win, be fully prepared, and you will win in one fell swoop in saving money, otherwise you will be slaughtered.
In order to save money on wedding equipment, we must first fully understand the information, among which the network is the frontier, such as the first wedding carnival held by Sohu Wedding Channel, which provides accurate information navigation platform for wedding groups, including wedding information such as jewelry, wedding photography, wedding banquet, wedding gifts, dresses, cosmetics, honeymoon trips, etc. Second, you should go to the field and shop around. You can't make an impulse deposit. Third, find close friends with actual combat experience to learn.
Quote: The general wedding photography price ranges from 2000 yuan to 5000 yuan. If location shooting is included, most people will choose the price of 3500 yuan. However, in the process of shooting, due to unexpected factors such as changing the wedding dress, accessories, choosing makeup water, adding Carola, glass frame (invisible bra) and cleaning after seeing the sample, the cost of wedding photos may increase by 3,000 yuan to 4,000 yuan, resulting in the cost of wedding photos soaring to 10,000 yuan.
Wedding photos, less "accidents" to control costs.
The secret of compression: know yourself and yourself, and be firm in your mind.
Compression strategy:
1. For ordinary newcomers, the price of wedding photos around 3,500 yuan is basically suitable, including internal and external photos, 20 photos and 2 enlarged photos. But the bride-to-be must be very clear that there is still room for bargaining at this price. Because the wedding photography package may also give small gifts such as posters, photo frames and wedding invitations, you can refuse these gifts when bargaining and ask the merchants to lower the price. When the price is the lowest, savvy newcomers can also make a final blow-ask for more photos. If the price of the merchant is 3500 yuan, it can be compressed to 2000 yuan.
In fact, the merchants will not give up, and the fiercest battle is still in the process of shooting. At that time, the studio will tell you that your wedding photos are low in price, and the wedding dresses and accessories are old. If you want to add a new one, you need extra money, and the price ranges from 500 yuan-1000 yuan; The makeup artist will complain that you and the groom have extremely poor skin and can't make up at all. Make-up water must be used, each 100 yuan, and two people need 8 yuan. The photographer will also say that you are wearing a bridal wreath and a 50 yuan, and accuse your bra of being unqualified. You need to buy another glass bracket. The price in 600 yuan is 50% off for vomiting blood.
The best way is to hang a face and reject it altogether. If the makeup artist's face stinks, your face must smell worse than his or her! In addition, you can also make some preparations in advance, such as bringing several sets of wedding dresses and accessories in advance. Generally, the wedding dresses in the photographic equipment city are 200 yuan to 300 yuan, and the exquisite accessories in the Beijing Raiders and Zoo are not more than 100 yuan. The shooting effect can be confused with reality. For the bride with dry face, the makeup artist can spray water when dusting powder to ensure no makeup. As for the bra, you can't tell whether to bring the chest patch in advance or simply put the back shoulder strap of the bra in the wedding dress. If the merchant's price is 2500 yuan, it can be compressed to 0 yuan -500 yuan.
After the photos are developed, if you are very satisfied with the proofs, it is possible to develop more photos, which is inevitable for newcomers. This is purely a personal wish, but the price must be discussed in advance.
It is more cost-effective to choose a wedding ring and book it in advance.
Quote: Wedding rings are divided into engagement rings and wedding rings. The former is set with diamonds, and the latter is a couple's ring. Wedding rings are generally divided into platinum and k gold. For many years, platinum has been the mainstream of wedding rings, but in recent years, fashionistas are increasingly inclined to choose K-gold wedding rings, because it is more in line with international fashion trends. The price of wedding rings is closely related to diamonds and workmanship, ranging from 2000 yuan to 1 10,000 yuan.
The secret of compression: rejecting vanity and improving cost performance
Compression Raiders: If you choose wedding rings in formal jewelry stores such as Caibai, Chow Tai Fook and Hengxin Diamond Palace, the price will be clearly marked and the quality can be guaranteed. There is not much room for a sharp price cut. The most important thing is that the bride and groom should face up to their financial ability.
In addition, wedding rings of well-known brands are occasionally promoted, but there are few styles to choose from, and they are still the previous styles, but they are also a good choice for newcomers who save money.
Wedding rings generally don't have much discount. If the merchant gives a crazy 30% discount, the newcomer should be wary of being played. Because the retail net profit of diamonds is very limited, some manufacturers make do with rough diamonds that do not meet the processing size in order to save processing costs and make huge profits, which is difficult for ordinary consumers to identify from the appearance.
If you are a newcomer with strong economic strength, you can consider buying a big diamond ring. It is more cost-effective to buy from Antwerp, Belgium, Hong Kong and other places in advance, or make an appointment to order wedding rings from merchants several months in advance. The price is similar, but the style is more personalized.
Beauty, on-demand choice, pay more attention to affordable information
Quotations: Body maintenance and slimming before marriage are usually divided into complete sets of equipment and basic equipment, and the bride can choose according to her own needs. Well-equipped, also known as luxury care, the content is comprehensive and meticulous, suitable for very particular brides who want to be amazing and sensational at the wedding; Basic equipment, also called economic nursing, is well chosen, cheap and good.
The secret of compression: choose carefully for yourself
Compression strategy:
1, luxury care: generally including bubble bath, whole body keratin care, whole body oil massage, hand mask care and facial care. Among them, facial care is best to start one month before the wedding, once a week. Slimming should also be done one to two months before the wedding to ensure good results.
If you go to high-end beauty salons and slimming centers, these care items will be expensive. Take beautiful countryside and Mahua Slimming as examples. The former costs about 3,000 yuan, while the latter costs 10000 yuan. But these high-end beauty centers will give members very favorable prices. If they are members, they may only need half or even one third of the price. Therefore, it is recommended that brides who want to do a full range of pre-marital health care go to their usual beauty salons and fully communicate with beauty consultants.
2, economic care: brides who are not too particular about or pay attention to saving money can choose basic pre-marital care, generally only do 2-3 facial care and one hand care. To lose weight, you can consider dieting, diet food and diet skin care products to minimize the cost.
It seems that getting married is really like fighting. Although there is no need to hold a happy event, the expenses are spent on ideas, which is worth it. Isn't that the best of both worlds and everyone is happy?
