Hey!
I’m so excited for you.
I also got married on a low budget. It was also an outdoor reception so I reckon I better share what my husband and I did with ours.
First, we got so much help from friends. They knew the wedding had a very limited budget. We told them. So they helped for free. And the result?
1. a live band performed during the reception. For free! These are friends of my husband’s who have their own band. I know you and your husband would have friends who would be willing to be a part of and help you out during the most unforgettable day of your life.
2. My uncle who owns a very well maintained Mercedes Benz existing his car to us as the wedding car.
3. Then his wife existing to do my make up. All for free. They said that that would be their gift for us on our wedding day. And what a very special gift it turned out to be, right?
4. My cousin who was a photographer did all the picture compelling. With all the high tech cameras now in the market, anyone can be a pro. Just browse through wedding photos ( you, your husband and the photographer) so you will have an thought as to how you would want your photos to be done.
5. We did not have a souvenir because we felt that it only gathers dust after some time. =)
6. Since I felt that the highlight of the wedding is the link itself, then we didn’t have anyone marching down the aisle except for the bride and her parents.
7. The wedding and the reception happened at the same place.
8. If you have the luxury of time, you can do a lot! You can make your own invitations. Thus making your day a special one because each one had been hand written from the heart. Give out invitations on a group basis, not individually, specially if they belong to one household, or one group anyways like possibly The Recruitment Department of your office??
9. Something borrowed, something blue. Check if you can borrow something that has been passed on from one wedding generation to another. My veil is an example of that.
10. It would be a real hard work but it is going to be all worth it.
And remember, the whole wedding day is about you two. It is one whole day. A special day I know. But what counts the most, what matters the most, are the days after that.
Goodluck and hope I can be filled in with the details after the wedding!
