I’ve got another simply savvy wedding here for you all the way from Belgium! This couple kept things simple in order to keep costs down, including only inviting 60 guests! They were able to splurge more on the food and beverage because they kept their guest list small. Hope you enjoy this lovely wedding- I adore the pink bouquet- so gorg! xoxo-Jessica
