Ok here we go last year i paid registar fees for me and my fiance to get married but we never went ahead with and lost all the deposits anyway since the registar's fee was paid we can still use the registar without paying again,so i think we try again but naturally having reading these forums i want to do it in mse style i think i have the budget in hand.I rekon £1500 @ most this includes dress tuxedo/suit (i'm going to go for a buffet @ night time do) rings and favours home made of course alos the cost of the hall estimate £80 for the night and my friend is in a band well 2 people anyway so got that covered . what it is i am basically asking has anyone on these forums done this to this kind of budget and could i receive some pointers as trying to organise it all my self without other half noticing till she really needs to ie trying wedding dress ect
thanks darren

Hi there

We are getting married this year and trying to keep to under £1000. My dress was £99 in a sample sale and we are hiring a suit for OH as he's unlikely to ever wear a suit again.

Flowers are silk and cost £67 for a bouquet, 3 corsages and 10 buttonholes - I got them from ebay and they are actually much better than I anticpated. PM me if you want the seller's ID.

Registry Office is costing £163.50. It's slightly more than our local office but this one is in an old building, the room is very ornate with carved wooden chairs, a beautiful carved staircase and stained glass windows.

Invitations were £19.95; I bought handmade cards (sale reduced from £19.95 to £3.50) and customised them to make them personal. Printed my own inserts on PC.

We're not having "fancy" cars but I'm looking to hire a sports car for 3 days 9 but this depends on whether I can bear to part with the money or not :rotfl: )

No cake as neither of us likes it.

Traditional chinese wedding banquet for 15 people - Approx £375

Rings - Not chosen yet, but only one for me as OH doesn't wear or like jewellery.

Photos - Friend who is semi professional is doing them free.

Favours - I'm making them myself; fimo models of each of the guests which will also be "placecards" About £35 for fimo.

How much fun would that be?! Fimo models?! That'd make my day!

I know its a bit of a 'done thing' nowadays... but you could always pop a few disposable cameras on the tables for an 'unofficial' wedding album of pics that guest have taken?
