wedding gowns 100 dollars image
Caleb kiss
My fiance & I just had our son. We want to have a small wedding with around 75-100 people next year on about a 10,000 dollar budget. My mom has a beautiful backyard so we have the venue covered. I'm not into the huge "party reception" I just want an elegant ceremony & a few hors derves & drinks to follow. My main priority is to have a beautiful gown, flowers, a gorgeous cake & invites. Any suggestions on ways to make it look lustrous & fantastic without going over budget? I'm open to any suggestions.
Answer
Look for packages. and Dress Sales. I got my wedding dress new for 99.99 and everybody's freaking because it looks like it was 1000.000(I think the original price was 647...) I got my 2 tier veil with my dress half off as well.
Plus we're getting married at a beautiful bed and breakfast that does the catering, cake, serving, tents, clean up, ect, for over 100 guests, for 3500.00.
I'm also looking at cruises for our honeymoon. Carnival does 7 day cruises to 3 caribean islands, food/drinks included for 864.00(I think that's per person but I still like the thought)
Plus for reception things that I'd like to add in, I go to http://www.orientaltrading.com
You can also make your own bouquets or find a crafty person who can make them for you. Just go to a walmart, dollar tree, hobby lobby, sams club, ect and pick out the flowers.

Need help finding a wedding venue in Chicagoland & burbs. Need both ceremony and reception ideas?

I'm looking for something a little different. Looking at dates in spring. I don't want the typical big expensive ballroom/banquet hall (unless it's cheap!). We cannot afford $50-$100 per person for dinner anyway! I'm even considering southern Wisconsin. A restaurant with big private room would even be nice. A scenic lake/river ceremony or waterfall (haha) would be so pretty! All ideas would be appreciated! Where was the prettiest wedding you've been to?
