Need to find ways to save money while planning a chic wedding?  The June 2009 issue of Vogue magazine gives 17 inspired ideas from three fashionable brides.  Here are some of them:

• Food – serve only one course, other dishes can be placed on the table to be served family style.

• Bouquets – keep the bride’s bouquet grand, since it appears in many photos, but order small attendant’s bouquets.

• Decor – request flowers that are in season and move the arrangements from the ceremony to the reception and the morning-after brunch.

• Centerpieces – instead of cut flower arrangements, use small potted plants then give them away as favors.  This is also an eco-friendly choice.

• Photography – have guests follow a dress code such as wearing black and white, this produces dramatic and memorable photographs.

Pick up the June issue of Vogue to get the rest of the ideas and take a look at the photo of tennis star RogerFederer’s bride, Mirka Vavrinec, in a beautiful wedding dress from Oscar de la Renta’s spring collection and the fashion photos of model Sasha Pivovarova’s “reenacted” wedding.
