Hi there - I will let you in on a few things we are doing to help save. We are asking family members to bring salads and chips. Then we have a relative that works in a grocery store and she is picking up the meat trays (at cost since she works there). We also talked with a few friends that have had kids married in the last two or three years to see if we can borrow any saved decorations they may have. So far alls we have had to buy is ribbon and balloons, but we are just getting started with our planning. We also decided to forgo flowers. Our wedding is in January so we are using pine bows, pine cones, white lights, and ribbon. Then I will have a bouquet to match with maybe one or two red roses. So there is a few ideas. Hope that helps a little.

My husband and I planned our wedding under $1000. I made everything from food to decorations to flowers. Since you`ll be having your wedding during the summer you can have it outside without having to spend a penny renting somewhere. If you need anymore help or ideas check out some of the websites online for free decoration ideas. They have some good ones. If you need anymore help or ideas just ask. We`re all here to help!!!!!!! Good luck and have fun!
