Firstly, let me show you some links to budget weddings on the blog, i want to do this so you can see for yourself you can have a gorgeous budget wedding…

♥ One of my favourite weddings i have featured on {www} was Gemma and Dan’s DIY homespun farm wedding, with a budget of £3000. It is gorgeous, packed full of details. Gemma has provided a very thorough report on the day and how they planned it. Thinking outside of the box is key, with a free reception space and plenty of DIY details to cut costs. Budget needn’t be lacklustre and this amazing couple prove that.

♥ Dave and Karen’s Beautiful. Budget. Wedding. was another gorgeous day. The couple had a budget of £1000 would you believe!!?? It was a small affair with a focus on love. Karen looks beautifully boho and her dress was from the high street, but you’d never guess.

♥ This Jenny Packham bride cut costs by buying her dream dress second hand, drafting in relatives to help and making lots of the wedding details herself.

♥ Emily and Jeremy had a gorgeous fresh countryside wedding, but had their reception at their local village hall. It was gorgeous, and undoubtly saved them some £‘s. Look for village halls with character, open space or newly built ones in your area.

Now don’t get me wrong a budget wedding is not an easy option, you will have to do a lot of work to save money. But it will be so worth it in the end, and the sense of pride you will have in knowing you created your day alone will be amazing.

All images below are from the above weddings :-)

Now lets take a look at the details a little closer and let me share my top budget saving tips…


The venue is one of the biggest expenses of the day, if you include food and drink. You can get package deals that do everything for you but it may cost a lot. To save money think outside of the box. Track down beautiful buildings, those that aren’t advertised as ‘wedding venue’s’, museums, libraries, village or town halls, a piece of land for a marquee or a party in your garden.

Happy Spring! It’s officially the first day of Spring today and we’re kicking it off by featuring flirty bridesmaid dresses with pockets by Ananya! These handmade dresses feature a ruffle collar and a fitted sash – and of course, we can’t forget about those pockets. Last year, my sister selected bridesmaid dresses with pockets and I LOVED it. Now that I’ve been spoiled, I make it my business to buy dresses with pockets (or stitch them in myself). In fact, I think it should become a general rule of thumb that all dresses have a hidden secret pocket stitched inside. I love carrying a clutch and all, but I’m not a fan of being glued to the thing all night. I’m definitely out there on the dance floor sans bag. Plus, when you’re a bridesmaid in a wedding you never know when you’ll need emergency breath mints, money, lipstick, etc. So, take a peek at these dresses below. I like the yellow dress best, but the green is a close runner-up…

Or, if you’re a bride looking for a short white wedding dress with pockets take a peek at the middle one below:

Nowadays fashion designers advise us to accessorize as much as possible our outfits. And, we totally agree with them, because by adding an elegant band or ribbon, or some rhinestones or beads, our apparel instantly acquires a modern, sexy and luxurious touch. Also, because you want to have a trendy wedding ceremony, we recommend you to choose carefully your bridesmaids’ dresses and to accessorize them with black details.

And, speaking about ribbons, we absolutely love the way in which they achieve to complete an outfit, in a feminine and delicate manner, making your bridesmaids look luxurious and glamorous. Don’t worry, your bridesmaids won’t look more sophisticated than you, they will just adopt a trendy look which will advantage them and at the same time will help at creating a beautiful wedding background.

Even if this belt has no flowers, beads or other feminine details, it helps at creating a serious and elegant look, which will surely advantage a lady who is aware of her beautiful traits.

But, if you are not yet satisfied with this belt, considering that it is too simple, than it means that you are that type of bride, who wants her bridesmaids to display feminine accessories. Well, if that is the case, then you should pick a belt with a floral appliqué. This elegant accessory will emphasize your bridesmaids’ waist and besides that it is appropriate for a themed wedding and to be more exact, for a floral wedding ceremony.  Therefore, choose to embellish your bridesmaids’ apparel with a floral appliqué, if you believe that this will be the best choice for them.

In the end, you should allow your bridesmaids to be trendy, elegant and feminine, by accessorizing their dresses with the suitable details.
