we are cooking the food ourselves and it came out WAY cheap! my aunt caters weddings and is loaning us all the equipment. i would definitely suggest doing it yourself. the cheapest plate we found from just a deli was going to be around 2000 dollars! if you have the stuff, go for it, if you don't have the equipment, it might be easier to hire someone. it just is cool to have the meal prepared by hands that love and support us, instead of just paying some random person to do it:)

We are doing an out door wedding and renting a tent, tables and chairs. it was so much cheaper then doing a hall! great prices and looks very nice!

I found the bridesmaid dresses online and they were on sale from 120 dollars marked down to 50! they are sooo cute and all the girls love them! very simple, strapless t-length but exactly what i wanted. it even came with a shawl which i didn't even know! i would definitely recommend looking online for great deals!

this is just an estimate of what we priced out the flowers to be. we are making our own bouquets. i have seven bridesmaids and then mine. we aren't doing flowers for the guys at all. but the flower selection is awesome and beautiful:) and a fraction of the price if we were to get the same thing from a flower shop:)

i still haven't gotten my dress fitted, i know that is going to be a lot more money to do, which is kind of a bummer. i see now why they can do a 99 dollar sale, they get you in the alterations, but i was still very pleased with what i got:)
