Walking Down the Tightwad Aisle (Can You Hear Wedding Bells)

Congratulations!
by: Rayven from Stay a Stay at Home Mom

Congrats on your upcoming wedding! I did mine on a budget as well.

We rented my wedding dress. I got to wear a $2,000 brand new dress, altered to fit me perfectly, for less than $200. This was probably the biggest savings we had.

We also made very attractive, yet inexpensive table centerpieces out of 1 foot square mirrors we got at Home Depot, with a $1 glass jar on each. We tied a yellow ribbon around the jar, sprinkled the mirror with glitter and yellow and purple silk flowers, and added a Betta fish in each jar. They were beautiful! Plus, all the guests fought over who got to keep them. All for around $5 each.

We did splurge on a catered meal, but all in all, came out ahead, spending around $5,000 total.

We also put disposable cameras on each table and got some, well, interesting photos!

Have fun at your wedding! It will be fantastic!
