Wedding chic on the cheap
Dear Wedding Gods,
If you could make my reception look like this, I’d really appreciate it. I’d call this look “Sophisticated Southern Chic.” And I have to be able to do this for cheap. Don’t forget the cheap part. 
Thanks a mil,
Jessica
I am a 25 year old southern girl, who just married the love of my life on May 2, 2009! It was a budget-savvy affair! :) I've been sharing my experiences along the way here, and now that the wedding's over, I've realized that weddings are just something I'm good at! So keep coming back for real budget-savvy inspiration, tips, deals, and tidbits from my newlywed life. :)
I love getting messages from people who are reading! If you would like to get in touch with me, whatever the reason, you can email me at budgetsavvybride {at} gmail {dot} com.
That is one beautiful shot. I love the light behind the fabric.
Hope the Wedding Gods hear your prayers
Amen
LOVELY! It’s a great use of the big space but still feels open and airy.
Are you kidding!! This is insane. Oh, dear Wedding Gods. Please make it happen. I am speechless. I love…everything.
What if you used muslin? Muslin is cheap and can definitely be southern chic. Combined with a slightly more rustic chandelier, I think it would be gorgeous.
omg, I love your blog! I’ve been working on a post about this very shot! I emailed the venue right away to see if it was budget worthy—since I’m only a couple hours away from it. Alas, you have to be sponsored by a member to be wed there.
But, yes-this photo encompasses everything I could dream up! So lovely!
