All my life I have dreamt about what my wedding day would look like, but now that it is becoming a reality… I am extremely scatter-brained.
Though both of our parents have offered to help diffuse the costs of all our wedding plans, Davis (my fiancé) and I have decided that we want to tackle the majority of it on our own. But, this doesn’t come easy when you’re both finishing your undergraduate degree and jobless. So that’s where “planning a wedding on a budget” comes in!
Through extensive research, I have found myself burring my nose into wedding planning books, using various social media sites to get budget-friendly ideas, and asking friends or family for any leftovers from their weddings! My personal favorite book would have to be “Plan the Perfect Wedding On A Small Budget”, by Elizabeth and Alex Lluch. Their book features real couple’s wedding plans and explains every little detail that went into that planning. I can’t even being to explain how much that has helped!
But, my overall favorite way to get budget-friendly wedding ideas is from Pinterest! It gives me the ability to make my own “board”, where I can put every idea, in an organized and visual manner. Pinterest has millions of wedding ideas, especially ones with brides on a budget. This almost seemed like a blessing to me, when I first started using it. It seemed to open up the door to many things I could have never imagined would fit into the budget of our wedding.
Attached at the bottom of this blog is a picture of my “wedding board” on Pinterest. There are so many D.I.Y wedding ideas, party favors, dectorations, you name it! They seem to have it all!
The use of this social media platform has brought light to so many potential wedding ideas that I originally threw out, due to our small budget. Thanks to Pinterest, my dream wedding is in the works. Now we just have to pick a date and start all of the actual planning!
…Here goes nothing
