Where Can You Save? — A Free Budget Savings Guide from French Wedding Company

A free personalised guide for couples planning a wedding in France

Where can you save?

five quick questions, five ways to stretch your wedding budget, chosen for your day

Not a generic list of tips. Not a sales pitch. Just the savings that suit the wedding you actually want, and a rough idea of what each one could save.

You've started adding it all up. And the numbers keep climbing.

Every list of saving tips you find seems written for someone else. A different country, a different guest count, a different kind of day.

Some tips would mean giving up the very things you care about most. Others simply don't work in France, where weddings are put together differently.

This guide works the other way round. It starts with what you want from your day, then shows you where the money could come from.

A note from Laura

Cutting something you care about isn't really a saving. It's a compromise. The savings worth making are the ones you won't miss on the day.

Every tip comes from what I've seen work across 131 weddings in France. Food and drink, music, flowers, venues, transport, and the small things that quietly add up.

Some save a few euros a head. Others can run into thousands.

Two minutes, five tips, and yours to come back to.

You answer five quick questions about your day: your guest numbers, what matters most, your biggest budget worry, your ceremony, and who you have around you.

You then get five tips chosen for you, each with a rough idea of what it could save. It takes about two minutes.

And because plans change, you can come back whenever they do. Guest list grown? Priorities shifted? Run it again and you'll get a fresh set of tips.

Free, quick, and yours to keep.

I'm Laura. I've planned 131 weddings in France, at every kind of budget.

I started my career in five-star hospitality in London before moving to France, where I've been running French Wedding Company for over fourteen years. In that time I've visited more than 300 venues.

I've never worked from a fixed package, a set price list or a preferred supplier list. Every wedding has been built from scratch, around the couple and their budget.

That's what this guide is built on: the savings that genuinely make a difference, matched to the day you want. It's free, and I hope it helps.
