I got married on friday 24th july this year and just wanted to share with you how amazing and low cost (compared to other weddings) it was.
we used this website/package http://www.gretnagreen.com/greens-at-gretna-hotel-20-guests-package-p6769#product_information and added an extra 10 people to the package. in total we paid less than £4000 (inc wedding, registrar fees, car, photography, cake, dress...everything)
The package even included rooms for the guests to stay.... so everyone was happy to travel to join us on our day.
*suits and dresses were bought on ebay (mine was brand new but a copy of a designer so a fraction of the price),
*bridesmaids dresses were lindy bop sale.
*wedding car hire was booked when they had a promotion on
*flowers were foam (looked real and very pretty) so a lot cheaper than real
my mum booked an extra room for the night before the wedding and the hotel wrote it off and said she didnt need to pay for it.... they were so friendly i wouldnt hesitate to go again, and its proof you can do a wedding on a budget (we aimed for £5000 or less so cracked that)
