Budget101.com : My wedding and question
I am enjoying everyone’s response to the wedding favors and had to ask my own
question.
My wedding is Oct 28th. We are getting married in the Rose Garden in the
Botanic Gardens. My colors are Apple Red and White.
I will carry red roses and
my bridesmaids will carry white roses.
I have a friend that did her flowers last year from Sam’s, so my flowers will
be done very cheap. I was at her wedding so I know they will look great.
I bought my dress on Ebay for $48. I tried it on at David’s Bridal first the
18W fit there but this dress is a misses 18 so I have just a few lbs to lose but
I will make it by October.
I bought red and white M&M’s after Valentine’s Day for my favors.
I am going
to have the M&M’s in a small plastic flute with tulle tied around it.
Our local Michael’s has 40% coupons in the weekly paper so I have been getting
an item a week, like rose petals and an arch.
A friend of my mother’s is catering the wedding for just the cost of the food.
She has done a few weddings before that my Mom has seen so that will be ok.
And the cake is being made by a neighbor that my Dad helps out.
She already
has 20 cakes booked for this year.
So now my question frugal friends!
I am having trouble coming up with centerpieces for the tables. The reception
is in the Auditorium at the Gardens. They supply the table and chairs and a
white table cloth.
The tables are 6ft rectangle. I figure we will be using 12-15
tables. For the head table and the food table I am going to lay red table
clothes in the shape of a diamond and leave the others white.
What can I do
frugally for 15 tables?
Thanks.
