Frugal Wedding Decorations

RE: Frugal Wedding Decorations Post By Amber (Guest Post) (08/30/2007) I had a frugal wedding, too. I also made our favors. I used the Ellison machine at my school and punched out hearts in the shades of our wedding colors. I stamped our names and the date on one side and "we're cut out for each other" on the other. Then I tied a little heart cookie cutter to each one. I did the same thing you did with the tulle and kisses.

I have been very blessed and have found some great buys at thrift stores (my dress $90!!), $2 wedding shoes NEW, etc., etc. I am also getting my wedding cake from Sam's Club for $56!! This includes 2 full sheets, which will feed about 200 people. I was so happy about that. Anyway, thanks for sharing. I now just wish I had started planning and looking around for ways to save money and be creative, and most importantly, HAVE FUN during this beautiful time. =) Congratulations to you and your hubby.

You did a great job, I really love the candy bar idea. I may do that at my next event. Congrats!

We spent approximately $5,000 altogether and did not go into debt for even one red cent. We both worked extra hours (me tutoring and him at Staples in the evening) and thoroughly enjoyed our paid in full wedding and honeymoon to Biltmore. A dream wedding is possible on a limited budget!

I keep mine in an envelope on a bookshelf. RE: Frugal Wedding Decorations Post by kimhis (212) | (08/17/2007) Contact Hooray for you, a sane bride! Anyone can marry debt free, as it should be. I just know you were so much happier without the mental strain of "how much is all this costing!!" Good for you, girl!
