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, everyone! It’s Maddy from Somewhere Splendid and Confetti Pop again, and I’m excited to bring this week’s installment of Blooms on a Budget. Today’s arrangement is another special request from Ez of Creature Comforts for her sister’s purple hued wedding. Instead of going with stronger purple accents, today’s arrangement has subtle lavender tones that are brought in by [...]
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 [...]
