Frugal wedding 💍

Hey y’all! This post is about the money-saving things we did at our wedding! It wasn’t a bare-bones wedding by any means, and we could have gone cheaper, but we loved it how we did it - the only thing I’d change is perhaps buying a wedding dress off amazon instead of being gaslit by a wedding company to think I needed to spend an arm and a leg for a dress 😝

Let me know if you have questions! 💗💍

Planning a wedding doesn't have to mean breaking the bank. There are countless ways to create a memorable day without overspending. Start by setting a realistic budget and sticking to it. Consider DIY options for decor, invitations, and even catering. Partnering with local vendors can also save you money while supporting your community. When it comes to attire, shopping online for dresses or renting options can significantly cut costs—many brides have found stunning styles on platforms like Amazon. Additionally, think about guest lists; inviting only close family and friends can help reduce venue and catering expenses. Consider hosting your wedding on a weekday or off-peak season for added savings. You might also explore outdoor venues, which often require less decoration than traditional indoor settings. Ultimately, planning a frugal wedding is all about prioritizing what matters most to you and finding creative solutions to make your dream day a reality. Embrace the journey and enjoy every moment!

We did a super budget wedding! You’d never know it, because I made sure it was elegant, but we literally only paid $4000 for the whole thing!

We catered tacos at our reception! Who doesn’t love tacos?😂 We found our venue for $2k on Peerspace, would’ve planned it at a relatives house if they were closer though. We also thrifted most of the decor🥰
