Get Married on a Budget

I also meant to say about my wedding favours, I purchased 500g of black jelly beans and 500g of turquoise jelly beans off the internet along with 50 black net bags and 50 turquoise net bags, I put approx 10 black jelly beans in each of the blue bags and the same amount of blue jelly beans in the black bags, I then cut out heart shaped name tags (blue for the black bags and black for the blue bags) and tied them onto my favours....they all looked amazing and the total cost was £20!

Thank you! You look stunning in the dress! And I love your colour scheme! The turquoise goes so well with the grey suits as well!

You should go into wedding planning! That hall looks incredible! I only hope that when I get married it looks as beautiful as that, I want the dream wedding without the price tag too hehe Congratulations aswell!! You looked stunning.

Great stuff, I will say we are palling a wedding less than £2000.

Funny as we are saving for a house and once we have said house we will book the wedding.

I have a friend who has just spent £15k on a wedding and now they are saving to buy a house and my point of they should have spent less on the wedding and they would be more or less there with the house seems completely lost on them.

With that I went to another friends wedding at the weekend and they spent £1000 and to be honest it was a much better day as the whole thing as so much more real.

I will say we are actually looking at getting a local chippy to do out catering, very cheap and actually representive of the real people we are, why pretend to be posh for a day?
