What were the things you spent the most money on for your wedding?
My dress was definitely the most expensive, which I found at Bridal Image. Second, would definitely be our photographer {although, this is the one thing you should spend the most money on}, we used my friend who I grew up with; Aimee Barker. And last but not least, flowers. I had the hardest time finding the flowers I wanted. By the time we found the perfect ones, there was a week left until our wedding day. We ended up going through Willow & Wildflowers.
We did most things on our own. Our cake was designed by Dave and I, and was made by his sister. We catered our own food, with lots of help from family & friends. We were able to get a deal for Dave's tux at my uncle's tuxedo shop and all my bridesmaids got their outfits from American Eagle & Maurices, and were definitely able to wear them again and again. Our ceremony and reception was held at a friend's home in Bountiful, UT. Our invitations were probably the only things we didn't do... and we absolutely loved them. We created them and had them printed from Tuellers Press.
How were you able to cut costs during your wedding planning?
Dave and I got engaged and then a month later we were married. So we certainly didn't have very much time to get all these expensive and extravagant things. Which was totally a-OK with the both of us. We are both very laid back and wanted a simple wedding to begin with. However, with certain family struggles going on at the time we didn't have a huge budget so we made use with what we could get and it turned out even more than we imagined.
Did you end up over or under budget for your wedding?
Under, for sure!!!
What is your best advice for those planning a wedding?
Try not to stress!! Of course you want everything to turn out perfect, but stressing only makes things worse. Also, do what you want. It's your wedding! We had a lot of problems with a lot of people telling us how we could and couldn't do things. And definitely enjoy planning what will be the best day of your life!
