Budget!!!!! I know planners that have bride and grooms asking for LOANS for weddings. Don't forget that there is more to a marriage than a wedding.
That said:
Weekday weddings (Friday evenings and such) are cheaper than getting a wedding done on a Saturday. I know most weddings are on Saturdays... but that's why they are so much more expensive. You will probably have better luck getting something on a Thursday or Friday because everyone and their mom will be renting reception halls during the holidays for things other than weddings. You will also save money on the limos.
If you plan on getting married after Christmas, the church will already be decorated white. (That is, if it's a Catholic church.)
My friends from church do some event coordinating and decorating. They swear by dollar stores and Wal-mart. Swear to God. It's not where it's from, it's what you do with it really. You can get some really inexpensive tulle/netting from Wal-mart, as apposed to going to Joanns or high end bridal stores. Most people won't notice the difference. And dollar stores sometimes have REALLY good glass bowls that can be dressed up with flowers, garland, etc.
