With weddings come... wedding filters. Opt in below.

And anyone who has any tips for doing this whole wedding thing inexpensively (and maybe even elegantly), I'm listening. No actually, I'm begging. Please. The only way I'll bring this sucker in under budget is if I start planning now.

Don't buy anything from a wedding supplier that you can either acquire elsewhere, make yourself or have someone make for you. Wedding suppliers tack a huge markup on anything labeled "wedding."

We had the whole shebang in our backyard. We only had to rent a canopy in case of rain and make sure the plumbing worked. Our biggest expense was food, and we managed to get some wonderful beef from a local restaurant by having my father-in-law get it (he owned a business in town for years and knew the restaurant owners), everything else came from a supermarket (party trays), and it was surprisingly good. Oh, and my mother-in-law made the cake. I had my gown made by a costumer (since we were doing a medieval-ish theme), and it only cost me $140.00 -- and that includes the cost of the fabric.
