DIY wedding photos are nothing new.

The arrival of the financial crisis has forced many newcomers to choose "thin marriage". As a result, a group of "DIY wedding" people came into being and challenged the "luxury wedding". If you want to be festive and romantic, but also want to save money and benefits, then it is inevitable to be careful. So many prospective couples are shouting "Jane! Thrift! Minus! "

It's easier said than done. How can we achieve thin marriage? Please look at the live demonstration of these five couples.

Brand store: Su Siyi's wedding planning

Case 1: Mr. and Mrs. Huang Li: Let the budget lose weight, let the procedures be simple, let the specifications be frugal, and catch up with the big purchases of netizens!

Huang Li, a 27-year-old kindergarten teacher, will be a new bride in ten days. The wedding date is in May, and the cost of the wedding will naturally rise. In order to cope with the high cost, she came up with many clever ideas.

Huang Li and her husband, who are engaged in financial work, think that the wedding is the biggest expense in the whole wedding process, and the wedding site layout accounts for a large part. However, in fact, the price of consumables used by the wedding company to decorate the venue is not much, and it can be reused. It can be rented to the couple once, but it costs thousands or even thousands of dollars.

As a net worm, oriole has gathered many new people who are ready to get married on the Internet since the Spring Festival. They want to get together in various ways, and then buy all kinds of wedding supplies, and everyone will share the money equally. Moreover, every couple will give it to the next couple after using it. Finally, everyone can hold a wedding, and they can also sell these supplies to some small wedding companies, earning at least 60% of the original price.

After two months of discussion, the couple finally established a cooperative relationship with four pairs of netizens who got married in the second half of this year. * * * Bought a sign-in desk, arches, flower towers, gauze curtains, champagne towers, red carpets, petals, bubble machines, projectors and other wedding supplies. The total expenditure is 12000 yuan, and the average share of each family is only 2400 yuan.

"At the beginning, the wedding company I consulted offered the cheapest price of not less than 1 10,000 yuan. Now, like me, I invested more than 2000 yuan in the wedding, and finally I can sell things to earn a large part back. How cost-effective. "

Case 2: Bride Liu Zhifeng: You can also sell wedding dresses!

Another "big money" in the wedding is the wedding dress. The wedding dress rented for one or two thousand yuan at the wedding will be used up even if the bride only wears it for a stroll, and the price/performance ratio is really low. In this regard, the practice of the bride Liu Zhifeng is worth learning.

Liu Zhifeng didn't rent a wedding dress, but bought her own wedding dress and evening dress, which cost 2000 yuan. Then she simply took a wedding photo with the photographer. After the honeymoon trip, she registered a small shop on Taobao and marked a new wedding dress, evening dress and full set of accessories at a price of 20%, which was quickly photographed by a netizen. In this way, Liu Zhifeng only spent 400 yuan and put on a new wedding dress tailored for her.

Case 3: Meng Fanxi Wheat: Poverty changes, DIY wedding photos are more fashionable!

"We are also poor and change our minds." The groom-to-be and his girlfriend Mai both work in Japanese-funded enterprises. Although they were lucky enough to avoid layoffs after the financial crisis, salary cuts were inevitable. "It turned out that our total monthly income was 6,000 yuan, and now it is only 4,000 yuan. Life is not tense. "

After the salary reduction, the wedding expenses will naturally be tightened. First of all, let's start with wedding photos. Originally, the two planned to take a wedding photo of 3,000 yuan, but now it has dropped to 2,000 yuan, but the quality will naturally shrink. "This grade of photo studio requires that each person can only choose to wear 3 sets of wedding dresses." The young couple were depressed at first, but then they thought, if they put together photos with the bride at the same price and agreed on the same photo time, wouldn't they be able to exchange and wear six sets of wedding dresses in turn?

As soon as the idea came out, I immediately discussed it with the miss studio, but the other party said there was no such coincidence. The young couple were unwilling, and then brought in a pair of colleagues who were going to take wedding photos. "Colleagues are happy to save money, and the photo studio is happy with many guests, killing two birds with one stone."

Case 4: Zhoushan, Chen Yan: DIY wedding photos of self-built team.

Actually, it's more than the couple's DIY. Chen Yan and his lover Zhou Shan got married in June this year 10. Both of them were born in 1980s, and they have great personalities. They just took wedding photos last month. It's really DIY.

"I have three college classmates who are getting married this year. They all think that the photo studio is too dark, so we will take our own photos." Chen Yan said that she is an advertising designer and can be responsible for post-production. There are photographers among her colleagues. So we decided to find a scenic spot to take photos by collecting some favorite photos, imitating other people's styles and backgrounds. "Some of my classmates and classmates' friends have studied makeup, and some have worked in the crew. Anyway, I think our people are quite professional, hehe. "

On a sunny morning in April this year, a group of people set out in a mighty way. They chose the location on Fifth Avenue and Botanical Garden and filmed for two days. "The effect is really not bad, definitely not worse than the photo studio." Chen Yan was full of praise for his DIY wedding photos. What makes her even more proud is that the total cost of this wedding photo is less than 1000 yuan. "The money is mainly sent to Kodak stores for photo albums, which cost more than 600 yuan. The rest of 300 yuan is our share of oil money and meals. "

Case 5: Liu Yue, Chen Cheng: The school cafeteria held a wedding banquet.

Chen Cheng, the groom, and Liu Yue, the bride, are college students who have just graduated for a few years, and their homes are away from home. The young couple even rented out their wedding room. Naturally, they don't have much money for a wedding reception. "We asked, the cheapest wedding banquet is 1000 yuan, which is too expensive for us." Don't hold a wedding reception, they feel too embarrassed and lack a festive atmosphere.

After much consideration, the young couple, both middle school teachers, set their sights on the campus and canteen of the school. "We are all teachers. It is most suitable to hold a wedding at school, and it is also the most economical to use the school cafeteria. " The idea was reported to the school leaders and was quickly approved. There is no extra charge except the service fee 100 yuan per table for canteen staff. They plan to hold 10 table, and the total service fee is 1000 yuan.

Mr. and Mrs. Chen Cheng set the wedding in August this year, just in the summer. The young couple will buy all kinds of raw materials from the master in advance. "I asked the master to help with the budget, because the ingredients were all bought by myself, so each table would not exceed 550 yuan at most, and the grade guarantee was equivalent to the hotel's 1000 yuan."

Reasons for agreeing to thin marriage:

Married Mr. Zhang: Promise not to make public appearances. "The most important thing in marriage is the commitment of both parties, and the wedding is just a form. If money is to be used on the cutting edge, it is better to take money to travel and have memories when you relax. "

Miss Sun: I'd better not do it. It won't hurt your mind. "My husband and I are both outsiders. If the wedding banquet needs to be held at least in Shanghai, everyone in our hometown will do it once. It is better not to do it and it will not harm us. "

Reasons for disagreeing with thin marriage:

Miss Zhang: I can't explain it to my relatives. "Personally, I don't mind whether the wedding is held or not. However, every time I attend my sister's wedding, I hear what's wrong with it. I feel tight when I am poor. I think my wedding must not be too simple in the future, otherwise it will be laughed at. "

Mr. Married Duan: Not so good. "Vegetarianism is easier to understand. Vegetarian marriage and thin marriage are not pleasant to hear. Getting married is a happy event. It's a bit unlucky to get a plain word and a thin word. Vegetarian chickens and ducks can be eaten, and vegetarian marriage is not very good. "
