So my partner and I finally decided to get married next year and we want it to be very simple yet elegant, not too expensive yet not looking too cheap despite our very small budget. So our first decision is to cut down our guest count so we will have more budget for other expenses and have it here in the city so we don't have to spend on accommodation. 



Our budget: less than 200,000 Pesos or approximately 2,000 USD The first thing I had to do is check every supplier needed at a wedding and start searching for small or new wedding suppliers as they are usually the ones who give 101% effort for a minimum cost. And here are the cost of each supplier that I found: 

Photographer and Videographer: The expense of this supplier can go as low as 10,000 Pesos but you will not find them in bridal fairs. You have to search for it on Facebook and start inquiring until you find ones that offer a rate that's within your budget

Bridal Dress: Made to order gown can go as low as 11,000 Pesos if in minimalist design or could be even cheaper if you rent. If you're going for a full wedding gown design with a long train, the lowest I saw was around 25,000 Pesos with the Groom's suit. 

Hair and Makeup: I found a decent HMUA for 15,000 Pesos for the bride, groom and 7 heads which is already very cheap. It's not easy really finding one and you need to do a trial makeup first just to be sure so that's an additional 2,000 Pesos. 
  
Venue and Catering: This is probably the most expensive supplier you have to pay for and there is a hack how to get it for a cheap price. Choose a venue that has their own catering so you're only one supplier for the 2 services. Most venue with their own catering offers a free venue package so that's approximately a 60,000 Pesos discount compared to other venues. 
 
Entourage Dress: For the dresses for your entourage, you can visit D8 mall for custom made dresses for as low as 1,800 Pesos for a knee-length dress and 2,500 pesos for a floor-length dress. If the budget is too tight, opt for the made to fit infinity dresses you can order via Facebook that costs less than 1,000 Pesos. 

Flowers: Our flower supplier only cost us 5,000 Pesos for the whole entourage which is 2 MOH, 2 BM, 2 Ninang, 1 MOB, 1 MOG, and corsage for our secondary sponsors. You can add another 5,000 Pesos for the extra flowers needed to decorate your ceremony venue. 

Wedding Host and Planner: The best way to save up for this expense is to ask a friend or a relative to host the wedding for you. However, if you can't find one that is willing like us, I saw wedding hosts for as low as 8,000 Pesos and an additional 7,000 Pesos if you need a wedding coordinator as a package.
  
Prenup Shoot: For me, the best and cheapest way to do this is to choose a free venue in the city such as Quezon Memorial Circle, Intramuros, La Mesa Dam, and the likes and get a photographer via Sweet Escape (3,500 Pesos for 1 hour) or freelance photographers from Facebook Marketplace (3,500 Pesos for whole day. Then to have a video, ask a relative to be with you during the shoot to take video clips of the whole experience. 

Bridal Car: A simple search at Facebook Marketplace can get you as low as 2,000 Pesos for a bridal car. I think that's about it... but if I forgot to include other suppliers, I'll just update this post. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
