I think a lot of times when you tell people you’re being budget savvy, especially when it comes to your wedding, they may assume you’re going to be skimpy with your budget and decide to forego nice things to make it cheaper. After being a follower of The Budget Savvy Bride and
One of the main pieces of advice almost every bride and bride-to-be gives is to ask for help. You usually find the people closest to you want to make your wedding day special, and will be willing to help in any way they possibly can. Being a “budget savvy bride” I knew
Since I live far away from a majority of my friends and family, I knew I wanted to incorporate my bridal shower & bachelorette party into one weekend. That way any bridesmaids or girlfriends that were able to come into town for the bridal shower could also attend the bachelorette party without
Being that my fiancé is currently in law school, I tried to handle a majority of the tasks involved with wedding planning. However, I did ask if he would plan the honeymoon and find our DJ (he actually may have volunteered for these tasks!). Vacations and music are definitely more up his
When helping my mom plan my bridal shower, I knew I wanted our favors to be something simple that people could actually use. I scoured Pinterest in search of a simple, yet budget-friendly favor to make for our guests. I stumbled across an image with the saying “From Amy’s Shower to Yours”,
Throughout wedding planning, I, along with many other brides I’m sure, have seen and read way too many lists of wedding do’s and don’ts. While most offer some great advice, such as stick to your budget, be comfortable with the vendors you hire, be sure to enjoy your day, remember it’s more

For my fiancé and I, food is at the top of our priorities list for our big day. After a wedding, we always discuss the food (of course we discussed the bride & groom, but food was always discussed), so we knew we wanted to have food everyone would rave about so
When deciding on our wedding flowers, I knew I wanted something very simple, yet elegant. My favorite flowers are hydrangeas, so I knew I wanted to incorporate them into the wedding. However, when researching flowers I found out that they are one of the more expensive blooms, but luckily are in-season for
One of my favorite social media apps is Instagram. I love looking at pictures and, recently, have fallen in love with clicking on the wedding hashtags that accompany the many wedding instagram accounts I follow. You find so many different pictures from guests, the bridal party, and even the bride and groom
With all the hustle and bustle related to wedding planning, I think some of us can tend to forget about the actual wedding day. Almost all of the advice I have received from previous brides or read in various articles has been to remember to slow down and enjoy the day, as
For those of you who read my introduction post, you probably already know how much my fiancé and I are obsessed with our dog, Potter. For those of you who didn’t read my introduction post, I can sum up how much he means to us in four words: center of our world.

As I mentioned in our budget post, dessert is among our top priorities, so we thoroughly enjoyed choosing our desserts for the wedding.
