    Thanks so so much bubbles!!! :D

    Budget - don't want to spend too much but am desperate so I'll consider anything up to about £100!

    I'm thinking of having nothing but my veil for the ceremony and pics, and when I remove the veil I could pop this on (can be hired for £40):

    Bought these mirrors from Ikea at the weekend to use as bases for our centrepieces. They're perfect as we have square tables at the venue and much cheaper than hiring "proper" mirror plates...

    Brilliant idea!

    I was really pleased with my eBay purchase of 4 mirror cube vases which are 14cm square for a whopping £7.50 when they are usually £16 each! When I went there today to collect them she gave me 6 large mirror plates for free, just because she needs the space! Very kind of her and I'm thrilled as I got £100 worth of kit for £10! I made her take the extra few pounds as they were such a bargain! :D

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

    Mother of the Bride here, just been to a car boot sale, bought a lovely Monsoon floaty chiffon dress complete with tags for a fiver, brilliant for a wedding later in the year.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Well done everyone for getting such fantastic bargains!

    I'm hoping to save a lot of money on our wedding! We haven't started thinking about a budget etc yet but does anyone have any tips on haggling the venue price?
