Hello Everyone!

After following the wedding thread on here for many months I'm so happy to say that I am finally married! Thank you to everyone on here that has contributed tips and suggestions, they really helped with our planning of the wedding.

I wore a brand new £64 wedding dress off ebay and brand new £6 rainbow club ebay shoes!

We had our reception at a country pub in Redditch, cost £375 for 44 people which included a main course, desert, glass of wine and a slice of the cake. The staff were so nice they decorated all the table for us without charge.

Our Tesco's Wedding cake was only £28 and decorated with our fimo clay cake toppers we made together.

It was the happiest day of our lives, eventhough we were on a tight budget it was perfect in every way. Thank you again to everyone on the wedding thread for all their advice

  • Aw thank you! It was a private seller on ebay, she had the dress custom made at a shop in London for her and for some reason put it up on ebay for sale. Bargain of the century!

  • Congratualtions -ive really enjoyed looking at your photos - you looked stunning and so happy - and it just proves that weddings on a budget can be just as special as those that cost £1000's - i think too many people spend money on wedding days that they are then paying off for years - when all that really matters at the end of the day is that your marrying the one you love xx
