The florist bill can add up very quickly. Rather than spending a huge amount of your wedding budget on centerpieces check out the local farmers markets and neighborhood gardeners!

These are my calla lilies. I used this photo to make my wedding invitations. They were lovely! I used the picture in black and white.
By way of a joke has begun our American adventure!

Customizing Wedding Accessories
For the most part, weddings can be quite costly. I have a tip that can help you cut the cost on a few needed items. If you don't sew, a glue gun will work. And if time is a factor, discount fixer uppers are great to! The items that you 'll be checking off your list are:
This is a really nice couple, and funny, The tree picture was actually taken the next day after the wedding and we all went to San Francisco.
Here are some pictures from our wedding. Weddings are so fun.
Remember to loosen up and have fun at your wedding!
Involve Your Family In Your Wedding
Use skills that you and your family's have to save money and to make your day and your memories extra special.
Make items work double duty. Take personalized candy wrappers and use them as place cards and favors.
This is a picture I took while on a walk, I thought it was awesome.
This is my wedding on April 29, 2006. I made everything myself and had a lot of fun, because I saved a lot of money. Take a look! All the figures were jewelry boxes and I added the bride and groom on top of jewelry box. In the inside, I added pillow candy. I then used tulle material to make little Hershey kisses souvenirs.
These cute and inexpensive tin can decorations are perfect for a country themed wedding. Just clean ordinary tin cans and hot glue a square of styrofoam into the bottom, adding whatever silk flowers you choose.
I wanted something fun to give as a gift to my niece for her wedding shower so I made a gift card holder she can use at the wedding. If she wants to, she can pass it down to friends.
Thank goodness the days of HUGE Bridal bouquets has passed! Small, round bouquets with stems showing are being used more often in Weddings. Your local florist would be glad to bunch up a cluster of roses and tie with ribbon but believe me you'd pay dearly!
Lime Green Wedding Cake with Fresh Flowers
Just wanted to share a picture of my daughter's wedding cake. I really was concerned about the lime-green color, but it turned out very pretty.
Homemade Church Wedding And Reception
I had a friend that wanted to save money by skipping a fancy church wedding, so I made her reception hall into a makeshift church and altar. We saved a lot of money by doing so.
Just wanted to share a photo from my daughter's wedding this past June. This is my grandson, Jace. He is my son's little one. My husband and I just cannot get enough of this little guy.
Don't forget to reserve a small cup cake for kids.
For my daughter's wedding, we had to do it on a budget, in a big church. We found a beautiful dress at a consignment shop, but it needed sleeves. I found a local affordable seamstress and we had a beautiful finished product, for a fraction of the price of the dress originally.
To make a beautiful "embroidered" wedding veil that isn't expensive, do the following: Make a basic veil out of tulle. Draw a basic design on the veil using permanent marker. Use embroidery floss (all strands) and a narrow embroidery needle to sew the pattern onto the veil.
Use Wine As a Sign of Wedding Unity
Instead of a unity candle, my son had a wine ceremony. Carafes of red wine and white wine were poured into an empty carafe, then the mixture was poured into a goblet from which they both drank.
