    I have made my bouquets, my center pieces, my garter, my bridesmaids gifts, my flower girls tutu skirts, my hairpiece, flower girl hair pieces, and games for the reception. I love crafting and being creative. I used Goodwill, Michaels, and Hobby Lobby

    Everything I did was DIY! It’s so much cheaper and it gets your creative side out. So fun. Good luck!

    We are on a tight budget but you need to know where to spend the money. My bridesmaids and I did the centerpieces and bouquets, all decorations. We decided to rent the table clothes, napkins, plates, silverware, glassware etc. they did all the set up and breakdown and made our lives so much easier.
    We did live flowers for the ceremony from pick’n’save and fake flowers for everything else. We were able to find a venue where we could bring our own alcohol- from Costco, and caterer- a friend, to help with costs. We also did a small cake and had the caterer cut up sheet cake to serve to guests which saved us hundreds. There are several ways to save money but still make everything look beautiful and stay in budget.

    Me!! 🙋 I'm planning on making my centerpieces out of silk flowers so I can use them as house decorations later on! Why pay so much for something that's going to die?!

    We are getting married at a winery. And even though we don't drink our family is. So I have 50 wine bottles we are sandblasting with our initials to use as centerpieces w/ led lights from amazon!! I can't wait to see how simply magical it will look!!! Smiley smile

    Me! I painted wedding bottles and attached twine. I made silverware holders, bouquets, boutonnieres, I'm going to design the archway and I glittered pinecones. I've also painted lanterns and birdcages white.

    My trials have been really cute so far. I'm excited to see if it all comes out as I expect it will.

    Me! I plan on doing pretty much everything but the food and cake! It feels much more sentimental to me knowing how much love and time is going into everything created by us. I'm working on centerpieces now!
