Weddings, as lovely and as romantic as they are, are also very costly. Let us not fight over that fact. So, from the moment that the man buys the engagement ring and proposes to the day of the couple's return trip from the honeymoon, everything involves money, money, and more money. But as any penny pincher will tell you, you can always cut cost.

A couple who are on their way to tying the knot should not be embarrassed to admit that they could not spend so much for a grand wedding. It is still very possible to hold a grand wedding ceremony without it costing too much; the couple would just have to be creative in their search for more affordable alternatives. For example, the flowers for the wedding ceremony can be substituted for more affordable blooms rather than acquiring the most costly bouquets in the flower shop. There are flower shops that would be more than happy to provide for the wedding flowers, and they would sometimes offer discounts. Keepsakes may be handmade, dresses may be sewn or rented, catering may be home-cooked, and organizers and music may be provided by volunteer friends. Almost everything can be bought cheaper.

Nevertheless, there are things needed for the wedding ceremony that still need to be purchased, but these can also be bought at lower prices. If you insist that there would be a car to whisk the bride and groom off to the reception after the wedding, then the vehicle could cost you from several hundreds of dollars well into the thousands. Even if you search for a cheaper car rental, it will still cost your hundreds of dollars.

So, if you have an old clunker, why not use that instead? It is in the spirit of transforming something old into chic vintage. The difference is that old is outdated, but vintage is retro. Considering that people are now turning to retro style, even your old clunker can be jazzed up to become fashionable.

What you can do is spend some hours for car grooming. This is really advantageous for you, considering that through car grooming, you don't just save the money you would have otherwise spent on car rental, you would also be able to restore your vehicle's old glory. And this just won't last for a few hours on your wedding ceremony day. Your big day is just one of those occasions wherein you can use your newly restored car.

Nowadays, everything vintage is revered. Thus, even if your car does not belong to a high-end series, you have nothing to worry about. Your old car will do, as long as it is still running. Color isn't a factor anymore as well. If before white was the only color acceptable for the bridal car, this time, any color is acceptable so you do not need to get a new paintjob for your car.

Well, you need the necessary decorations, naturally. So, apply the "Just Married" banner and the traditional flowers on the hood, and you are ready to roll.
