Plan A Cheap Wedding

Any ideas for planning a cheap but beautiful and tasteful wedding?

I am in Chicagoland and am getting married next year. Does anyone have any ideas about how to plan a beautiful wedding on a (small) budget?

I just got married on July 22 and my daughter and I made alot and got everything through Ebay…. We live in Lake Havasu, Arizona, a resort town where they brought over the famous London Bridge so we bought a wedding package at the hotel next to the bridge and we got married in the room over looking the Channel… It is really pretty.. We told them my colors and they decorated and we had that room for $200. Then we got a honeymoon suit for just that night for 100, which normally is 300 but because of the package it was 1.. Included was a beautiful private dining room for our dinner, we had picked 4 courses for our guests to choose from, that keeps the price under control. I went to a local bakery that is always good and had 2 of their famous cheese cakes made and had them decorated and brought them the cake toppers which I got on Ebay….That cost total was 90. Then our Dress’s I bid for on Ebay… They were just beautiful, total 200. Our shoes, ebay, and they were the hit of the wedding, everyone couldn’t believe our shoes… even the guy;s and strangers came up to us and said , shoes are great!!!!! Those all came to 75. Flowers, the in thing now is silk and if they are real you are looking at a few thousand, we bought a package of everything that was needed, bouquets, bootineers, mother corsages, etc., for 100. They were beautiful everyone couldn’t believe it and you pick everything about them on how they are made…. And the reverend was 100……We shopped around for tuxes and we found that the party stores have the same books of tuxes for half of the price of wedding store’s…. The store we got them was called Party Express….. It turned out beautiful and all fell into place, we were soooo happy, oh and the photographer is your most expensive they start at 1000, so we had family members do it and they are better then professional…you can call a local college and ask if any student photographer does it on the side, and you will save alot of money that way…..Our total was under 2500….. Pretty good, hah…Shop around and start now and you will be surprised what you can do yourself…. have fun and congratulations
