My wedding was wonderful, and inexpensive. All the bouquets, flower halos, pew bows, and corsages were made by my grandma and her friend from silk flowers and ribbons we bought really cheap at Michael's. My grandma, mom, aunts, and great-aunts cooked all the food, (salads, chicken, pasta, etc.) and my mom's friend made a fruit sculpture. Her other friend made some really neat centerpieces out of some candles, vases, and other miscellaneous cheap stuff we found at craft stores. She was really creative, and put a lot of really cool things together. We had a friend that DJ'd, so that was taken care of, and got the champagne glass bubbles at the dollar store. We got the bridesmaids dresses at a huge after-prom sale at JCPenney, and my mom's friend made my dress from a medieval fairy tale pattern I found on Ebay for 4 bucks. All the material cost me about 120 dollars. I wore 10 dollar ballet slippers (you couldn't see my feet anyway) and had my makeup done at the Clinique counter. We cut a lot of corners and tapped into a lot of friends' and relatives' talents, but the end result was hugely successful! I hope yours is, too!
