Still to purchase my shoes, jewelry, programs and menus, signage, more decor to tie in the theme. I suggest VP and DIY all the way will save you a ton, Try keeping your guest count down, schedule the wedding in off peak season if possible on a Friday or Sunday, brunches are another cost savor, prioritize where the bulk of your money should go and what's important to you, adult only receptions are a great way to cut cost, check trunk shows for your dress or a store called Vows may have to travel but you can get designer dresses 1/2 off, flower district in LA another good place. Good luck! and happy Planning~

It's SO much I have to cut back on.

I chose a Sunday morning/afternoon wedding.

I am doing wholesale flowers and arranging it with the bridal party.

I am hoping to find a dress under $1000 including alterations.

I can't really cut the guest list so that's set at 120-150 people. He refuses to negotiate.

I may not have a cake.

We are looking for a restaurant over a reception hall.

I just feel that this isn't like the movies but at least my wedding is in early 2015. It gives me time to save and start DIY projects. I'm SUPER crafty. Thank you ladies for the feedback.

@MrsFutureMoon SO weird about our dates. The weirdest thing is my first name is Moon. LOL. LMBO. I died.

@Courtney I live in Lakewood, too.

@mmw DUDE your name is sooooo cool. And about our dates, people are giving me a playfully a hard time about it being superbowl weekend and I said WATCH the Chargers make it to the superbowl this year. LMAO

This weekend we are going to Garment District in LA so FH can get his and his GMs suits. I got quoted 150+ for RENTING. Whereas, in Garmet we have a spot to BUY suit, shirt and tie for $99.

@FutureMrsMoon My FH just told me that the Superbowl 2015 is on February 1st. I have to switch my date now.
