I told you all my wedding was going to be DIY heavy! And rightfully so because I watched my little budget explode over the past week, so I have very little room to spare. Next on our planning agenda is to start looking for bakeries to make the cake. I went into wedding planning dead [...]
We’re back with another wedding of the week! This Montana wedding has lots of fun and creative details– the couple managed to host 280 guests for only $11,000! Very budget savvy! I love that they spent a significant portion of their budget on their photographer- and it definitely paid off! These photos from Patchwork Photography [...]
You know we LOVE DIY Projects here at The Budget Savvy Bride, and anything that helps you save money and get crafty at the same time is a win in our book! That’s why I was SO pumped when Adrienne of Cherish Paperie got in touch with us to share about [...]
I was on the hunt for the right veil to match my previous wedding dress. Even though I’d tried on one at the bridal store, I wasn’t about to shell out over a hundred dollars for just a birdcage veil! After searching high and low on Etsy.com (can you tell I love this site?) I [...]
An early project I took on was wrist corsages. The wedding packages we were looking at from our resort included a bride’s bouquet and groom’s boutonniere, and you could pay extra for bridesmaid bouquets and so on. Pay extra? I think not! I already knew that I wanted the girls to carry parasols. I liked pictures [...]
{this article first appeared on LearnVest here.} Why spend $1,000 on a custom wedding cake when most guests don’t even eat it? Cake is a storied wedding tradition, but by the time it gets cut up and passed around, other dessert has been served and the cake usually goes untouched. The New York Times recently [...]
Love this simply savvy DIY $2,000 wedding! This couple chose a time to get married that was in between meal times so they didn’t have to spend more money on food and beverages! I love the DIY paper flowers in the bride and bridesmaids bouquets, and the simple decor really helped keep costs down. Hope [...]
Happy Friday lovelies! Time to wrap up another week on BSB. I attended a fun event last night in NYC where I snapped the photo above– isn’t that a simple and lovely altar idea for a wedding? I loved it, and thought you would, too! Here’s some other links and things I’m loving this [...]
Because we’re only really close to a handful of people, we opted for a venue that had a limited capacity of 102, and mind you that’s without a dance floor and with some folks not sitting at tables (more here). We thought that with such a small venue, our friends and family would understand if [...]
You’ve said “I do”, so now it’s time to eat, drink, and be merry. Have guests proceed to their tables in a well choreographed dance with the help of these diy table numbers. With just a few basic office supplies and the free template that I created for Budget Savvy [...]
There weren’t too many things that I planned about our wedding before Matt and I got engaged. Since we had only minimally discussed the scale of wedding we wanted to that point, I knew there were lists of pros and cons on yellow legal pads in our future. The most important item on both sides [...]
Loving this colorful wedding from The Burks! I have a special place in my heart for all geekdom, so I couldn’t help but love the shot of the groomsmen exposing their super hero tshirts underneath their tuxedos- so fun! And I always love when brides use books as decor! Hope you enjoy this wedding of [...]
