I am planning on getting married within the next year and want to get a head start on planning. I would appreciate any information I could get on an outside wedding site, flowers, wedding cake, catering, etc.... Anything that is pretty cheap or at least resonable. I would like to do the whole thing for under $1000 dollars. Thanks in advance for your help!
Single roses with a bible for the girl's bouquet's, and they make a good gift...
Good idea to have a tight budget... We spend way too much money on that stuff....
Cook your own food.
I was at Briscoe park one weekend and actually watched two weddings being performed. It was really nice. So I would suggest looking at the local parks in your area. Also, do you have a nice size yard. When my sister got married, I planned her ceremony and everything. It was in my parent's yard and it was nice. Outdoor weddings are all about how you decorate them. A lot of vendors would let you rent items for example florist would let you rent flowers or plants to decorate sometimes. You can also be creative and come up with a lot. Publix's make good cakes. I also know a seamstress who can make you a beautiful dress. I understand how it is to plan a wedding on a budget. Believe me when I got married I was working full time getting paid peanuts, had a two year old daughter, and was in school parttime and I planned my wedding from start to finish by myself. But planning events is something I love to do, so if you need any more advice or help let me know. But please take your full year to plan. It helps when you are trying to be creative and stretch money. I just thought about it, I know a caterer. I am not sure how much she charges but she is just getting started and I bet she wouldn't mind giving you a good rate so that she can get her name out. Let me know if you interested.
Wow!!! I thought my budget was tight for my wedding next year. I would suggest Publix for the cake. Atlanta wedding guide website, caterer-find family friend who cooks to donate that as part of your gift. Or you buy the food and they cook. Rent dresses from Brides Bridal on Candler Road.
EBAY!! When I planned my wedding, I found and bought so much on e-bay. I would recommend only buying from someone with quite a few god responses. Avoid new e-bayers. I even bought my wedding dress brand new for $280. I then went to David's bridal just to compare. A similar dress would have cost me close to $800.
