I can't believe there is a New York wedding on here- living here alone is so expensive! These all look gorgeous. I particularly like the Louisville wedding dress.
These are all beautiful weddings !!! :) love them!!. But does anyone have advice on how to do this if you have like 150-200 guests?
I did my wedding at under $1,000. It was nice and I had about 150 people. We made all our own food. I boughta beautiful dress at a consignment shop. For our food we had sushi, deep fried turkey, rice, fruit salad, and hawiian meatballs.
My beautiful wedding was an $8,000 wedding and it was PERFECT! It would have been less if we had chosen a different photographer, but we loved ours so much we paid a bit extra. Totally worth it! Only $100 for the location of the ceremony which was at The Aurora Staples Inn in Stillwater, MN. They have a beautiful outdoor garden that was perfect!! We had 18 total guests. We loved every bit of our day!
I got married last year and was outraged by how expensive it can get. I tried to do as many DIY projects as I could to keep costs down. Printing save the dates, invites, table numbers, place cards, etc can get pretty expensive. I made my own table numbers out of photos of my husband and I. Everyone loved them. I also used an Etsy designer to create my save the dates and invites which I then uploaded to an online printer. Soo much cheaper. You can see her store here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ruffdesigns
Thank you for posting some beautiful weddings! We spent less than $3000 for our wedding and had about 50 guests. We got married in a cute little white wedding chapel and then had the reception in my aunts backyard. We got married before I started working in the wedding industry. The knowledge I could have used then would have really helped me! The one thing I would have changed was to budget more toward the venue. You can see the details of my wedding here: http://blularu.blogspot.com/p/love.html
The link for Elysia and Chris' wedding keeps taking me to Rhy and Melissa's wedding.
Just fixed it Gabi.
We are two broke college students, so a big expensive wedding was out the window. I tried and tried to come up with a nice wedding and the best i could get was $5,500 for just the venue and catering. UNTIL i stopped trying to invite everyone I'd ever met and just focused on the nearest and dearest. Just our 3 best friends ( each) and our parents grandparents and siblings. Total of 25 people. We are now having the wedding of our dreams.... black and ivory color scheme, vintage rat pack theme.... catered dinner and wine at a local bed at breakfast for a grand total of 789.00!!!! Sometimes scaling back that guest list and finding the smaller venue makes all the difference in the world.
Glad you pulled it off Jill! A smaller guest list can make a huge difference!
My wedding cost us no more then $3000 and we had over 200 guest fed them all a sit down dinner and had a rocking DJ. You don't have to cut the guest list of size of the venue. You just have to put some extra effort into locating the right places and people.
Check out our wedding on my pin board,
We did a wedding for 100 people for $6000
It was in coconut grove/ coral gables in Miami Florida on the water,

Check it out if you want
Keeleigh how did you do all that for 3,000 dollors? would love to know thanks.
Beautiful! Our wedding was under $2500, and it was great. We rented a beautiful park pavilion for the day (the park where he proposed,) had food we cooked ourselves, and a pie bar instead of a wedding cake. (Several people from our families made 2 each of their family-famous pies.) My dress was found at David's Bridal on sale (though I wish I had been able to find a vintage one,) and my groom and his brother wore traditional kilt suits. We hired a relatively inexpensive photographer and made CDs of our favorite music for people to choose from. It was kind of like a big, fancy family barbecue. :)
