Well he popped the question and we are getting married in September. We are really excited. But we have both been married before and have already been together for almost 6 years. So we are asking ourselves "What is our wedding budget?" Man the pressure out there to put on a big wedding is strong! And a wedding can break your budget really fast. So we are trying to keep it simple but nice. But every couple of days I run into someone that will say something like "Who's doing your flowers?" And I'm thinking..."Me?" I can go to the grocery store the day before the wedding and buy some beautiful flowers, cut them, and wrap the stems in twine and walaa - I have my boquet. And I can buy some green floral tape and pretty much do the same thing for a boutineer for the groom (which he could probably care less about anyway). So there...I probably just saved myself at least $500.00. Besides we are having an outdoor wedding and reception so nature pretty much takes care of the flower problem anyway. And I'm not making everyone in my wedding spend a fortune on dresses either. Simple...they can shop for their own dresses - they just have to be navy blue. That way they don't have a dress they only wear once to a wedding. It's something they picked out for themselves - it's just in a color I chose. And really since it's an outdoor wedding and reception tuxes aren't really necessary either. I think nice navy blue pants with a white shirt and navy/green tie would be quite handsome and comfortable. And they can keep it for future use instead of paying $130.00 for a tux they have to return.
For now I'm really trying to shop smart for the wedding....I will keep you posted how its going.
