Good Morning! Wedding Plans needed!

[Guest]

I recently got married (6 months today), and we did

our wedding very inexpensively. 1st, we got married

at the same church we are members of, so there was no

church rental fee. We did have to rent the Veteran’s

Hall for the reception, as there was not room in the

church’s basement (it is cut up into classrooms, with

no one room large enough to lay out the food). My

dress was bought from a discontinued designer.

Original price was $1500…I paid $300, including

alterations. My bridesmaids dresses were ordered from

a Newport News catalog, $30 each. I found the flower

girls dress at a Thrift store for $12. Tuxes were

about regular price, but there wasn’t much we could do

there, I wanted a formal wedding with all the men in

tuxes.

For a theme, I chose an autumn theme. This is

something that is currently in my home decorating

scheme, as I love the fall colors. The majority of

the decorations came out of my home, and what few

items we did purchase are now lovingly displayed in

our home, instead of packed in a box somewhere.

Food: My aunt is a caterer, and did everything at

cost. For around $200, we fed our 75 guests punch,

sodas, finger sandwiches of ham and turkey salad,

fruit salad, veggie tray, cheese tray, chips and dip,

and a beautiful 6 tier wedding cake, each layer was a

different flavor.

Music: We made copies of our favorite songs on CD’s

and played during the ceremony and at the reception.

If you have one near you, check out the dollar tree

and the dollar mart. I found our ring bearer’s

pillow, bridal party gifts, and many other things at

theses two places.

hth,

amanda
