My budget was very small, so I got my own flowers and with family help did some simple arrangements with flowers from Sam's club. As far as decorations for the hall, you'd be surprised how much family will do without your asking! I was going to go to the place myself and decorate it and they all told me the day before not to worry about it. It was beautiful, all I had to do was give them the flowers and other things.

Was able to spend little money on finger type foods. As the bride and groom you really don't get to eat unless it is a sit down dinner anyways.
