      I was going to suggest that. If your church / venue is already decorated for

      another event, get married then. Less $$$ spent.

      Also, if another couple is getting married the same day, offer to help them

      split the decor costs and get married before or after them, even a day apart,

      and share the expense.

      I went to a wedding several years ago the day after Christmas and the church

      was already decorated very beautifully.

      I’m just a lurker but wanted to chime in. I don’t think there is

      anything wrong with telling them you can afford to do $xxxx amount

      and then the rest is up to them. I paid for my own wedding almost 10

      years ago. Ours was small, in part because of circumstances around

      our marriage (in part because I was 19 and my parents weren’t happy

      about it) but that’s another story! lol We were married in

      December, and the church was already decorated for Christmas. They

      had a large, tastefully decorated tree that we took pictures by.

      They had candles set out because it was nearing Christmas Eve, so we

      were able to use those as well. We didn’t have attendants and my mom

      (who did professional photography many years ago) took our pictures.

      There is a somewhat upscale grocery store near hear who has a great

      bakery, and we were able to get our cake through them for a very

      reasonable price. It was very pretty, nothing spectacular like you

      see on TV, but simple and beautiful and it tasted amazing. I know in

      many areas there are smaller at home type bakeries too who specialize

      in cakes so it wouldn’t hurt to ask around. Sometimes you can get

      services or goods in exchange for doing something for the other

      person. You may even know people who could do the photography or

      cake or decorate who you weren’t aware before were able to do those

      things! 😉

      Good luck with everything!
