Ohh I love this! Only just started but I wanted to share to help other brides if I could. So far Lets see...

My dress : $99.00 super sale at David's Bridal

My Ceremony venue: $50.00 Botanical Gardens

Here are some other things I didn't really FIND but we're doing to cut costs:

Photography : Free cause my dad is a photographer

Honeymoon : Disney vacation club members so we stay a week at Disney on my parent's    membership

Transportaion : Using our own car

Bouquet: My mom is going to put it together for me

Thats all for now!

UPDATE

I'm using empty Prego Sausce jars as candle holders. We're also going to fill them up with sand so that we can order smaller candles but still get the same effect as larger candles.
