DIY Handmade Wedding Ideas

I got married last May and had a very small budget. I wanted to pull off a wedding for about 100 or less for under $5000. And I did it!

I did as much DIY as I possibly could. I did this because - #1, I wanted to! I wanted to make sure it had "me" all over it! #2, I knew it would save me money. I also went a little non-traditional with my wedding ideas (I was getting married at the age of 39, so my thoughts of what I wanted in a wedding were different than what they would have been if… Continue

Why video is important at your wedding

by Marion Abrams Tweed River Video

I recently read an article that suggested money conscious brides are skipping the video at their weddings. I was shocked. In today's media-savvy world, a good quality video of your wedding is more important than ever. Here are just a few of the reasons:

Will your wedding cost your friends?

Taken from wedbykez.com

I recently noticed on a friends facebook a comment about the expense she was paying to be a bridesmaid in a wedding.

The bride was obviously wanting a particular dress that cost $495 dollars US ($586.70 AUD). Now I don’t know about most people but $500 + on a dress is not something I would normally consider unless a) The Dress made me look like Angelina Jolie or b) it was the most important day… Continue

Well, if you are renting a reception hall, be prepared to pony up with some bucks. Yes, they will have everything on hand, but it is FAR LESS EXPENSIVE, to calculate the number of guests and do it yourself. You'll save a bundle AND, you'll keep Uncle Wilber and Aunt Millie sober.

There… Continue

The Wedding Kiss

The other day, I was talking with a photographer that I work with on occasion, and he asked me what I thought about offering advice to the bride and groom on kissing once given permission by the officiant during the ceremony. I thought it was strange at first but the more I think about it, it makes since. Sometimes, brides and grooms will go into the ceremony with no idea about how they are going to kiss or be kissed. This photographer said that he wanted our bride and groom to kiss in a… Continue
