I'm a 2026 bride with a $25,000 wedding budget, so here are three ways that I'm saving money on my wedding. First, instead of asking for random gifts or doing a traditional registry, we're using Honeyfund. Honeyfund is a honeymoon registry that lets couples receive cash gifts from friends and family to fund their honeymoon and beyond. My fiance and I are obsessed with traveling, so this is honestly the best gift we could ask for. We added things like our flights and hotels to our registry page so that our friends and family can contribute to experiences instead of buying stuff we don't really need. It's also helping us put money toward what actually matters instead of starting married life by overspending. And they have fee-free options for US couples, so you can get the full value of everything you receive. The next way I'm saving money on my wedding is I'm skipping designer shoes. I just cannot justify paying over $1,000 for shoes that literally nobody is going to see. And luckily, I found the cutest pair of bridal heels for only $60. And lastly, instead of hiring a videographer for over $5,000, which is what I was quoted, we're hiring a content creator. It's way more affordable and we can still get all of the candid moments and get all of our speeches recorded. Weddings get expensive so fast, so we're trying to spend smarter and focus on what actually matters. If you're a bride to be or getting married soon and you're looking for a great registry, start your registry with Honeyfund.
