I saved money by having my wedding late in the day so only having to feed my wedding guests once.

I saved money by having my wedding late in the day so only having to feed my wedding guests once.

That’s actually what most frugal wedding websites and ideas are about. You get your friends to take pictures for free. You get them to bake a cake. You get them to arrange your flowers. It’s all about using connections and hoping your friends are crafty. But what if you don’t have crafty friends? What if all your friends can only hook you up with new pop culture gossip? Then a lot of these ideas won’t work for you. [...] [...] And most of the ideas evolve down to having your friends do stuff for you for free.

One thing to note, though. Be careful using fresh flowers on cakes because if pesticides have been used on the plants, there's a chance of pesticide or other chemical residue remaining on even rinsed flowers. If you're not sure, the fresh flowers can always be used to decorate the plate and table the cake rests on! Some great ideas here! One thing to note, though.

My husband and I thought it would be the best way to bless our new home! We only spent $1500 on everything including our honeymoon to Vegas and honestly, it was a wonderfully simple, small and relatively drama free planning/ceremony. Also, one thing more and that is in reality, none of the "stuff" matters when getting married. It's only important that you and the groom show up and are getting married because you really want to love each other forever. We had our wedding at our new home.

For me, at the end of it all, we were left with the love of our family and friends, a sweet new life, and PHOTOS. Lots and lots of photos. Those were worth the every cent we paid. Lovely tips!

My boyfriend asked me to marry him last week (EEEE!) and this stuff has been on my mind. We are both trying to work out of $30000 in student debt so ideas on an inexpensive wedding are great! Thanks!

My wedding was $3,000 -- $3,400 if you include our airline tickets (we got married shortly after 9/11, when airplane tickets were cheap). But since my husband and I are from opposite sides of the country, we had two receptions. I didn't think we did too badly, considering. Great ideas!
