way of keeping it cheap | approximate cost |
|---|---|---|
| Dress - Ally & DeltaArbiter | 1 - shop around 2 - look at bridesmaids dresses. I got a bridesmaid dress in the style i loved and then had it altered slightly....it was stunning and cheap!! 3-I had a sewing teacher. She told me she could finish a dress in one day. | For me the dress itself was 150 and the alterations were 50 - giving me a grand total of 200 and a dress that i absolutly loved! |
| Rings - Ally | 1 - again i say shop around 2 - look at local artists! 3 - ironically we found our rings at a festival. There was an artist quarter and they were hand made, they even adjusted them for us! | At 25 each our rings were ridiculously cheap....and they were the only ones that we saw that we liked! |
| Drink - Ally | 1 - shop around 2 - for about 3 monhts before the wedding we went to the local supermarkets and brought all the wine and beer when it was on offer | I can honestly say but i think it was around the 100 mark. Bear in mind that we had over 100 guests and we have enough alocohol to last us till christmas! |
| Food - Ally | I'm not even going to bother with number one anymore! 2 - try wholesalers! We borrowed a wholesale card from a friend who owns a resturant - we then had a hog roast as a main - it went down spectacularly! | 200 for all the wholesale food and 120 for the hog roast! |
| marquee's - Ally | Note - We had our reception outside. Tip 1 - Ebay! And Craigslist! Tip 2 - friends! we borrowed a tent from the local scout group, and 5 gazebo's from friends | a grand total of 80 for the marquee from ebay - which we can now choose to keep or sell on.... |
| Music - Ally | Both the bands we liked were busy on our wedding day so we decided to pull together a playlist and play it from my laptop. We borrowed a PA system from a local venue, and i made a slideshow of photos for people to watch...it was great! | absolutly nothing! |
| Decorations - Ally | Again i was the ebay queen on this one. I brought crepe paper and ribbon in the colours and went made with celotape! The other thing was we got a friend (who makes silk flags) to lend us 24 silk flags. The moral of this - speak to your frien | Approximatly 30 in total :D |
| venue - ally | ceremony venue - this was our biggest spend - a castle :D - but this was the part my husbands family paid for! Reception venue - we live in the middle of the country and our landlady owns a field ---i'm sure you can see where this is going! | The castle was a whopping 1000 The field was free - again a generous friend! |
| Photography - ally | Again we were incredibly lucky! Our landlady's daughter is a photographer and was kind enough to do our photography for free as a gift! | again - absolutly nothing! |
| other decorations - ally | This was my husbands idea, With the invitations we gave everyone a piece of ribbon and asked them to attach something/anything to it. On the day we then asked everyone to attach their 'things' to a tree. | The ribbon was a part of the invite anyway so again this cost us nothing.....and it looked stunning! |
