How can the average person have a beautiful wedding with all the bells and whistles on a working person’s salary?  Perhaps the three letters/words that say it best are – DIY (do it yourself!)

 

Spending your life savings on your big day is crazy. You can have elegant, beautiful weddings without breaking the bank.

                   

Having a cheap wedding doesn’t mean giving up style or sentimentality. It means using your imagination, using your own hands or the help of friends and family.  Ask anyone you know to help out.  Almost everyone will be happy to oblige.  They’ll be part of your special day which makes them special as well!

 

This book will give you the best tips and tricks from the experts to cut costs without cutting class and sophistication.  No one will know that your budget equals the grocery bill of a family of 4.  They’ll be oblivious as they toast the new couple and enjoy a party to put all other party’s to shame!

 

We’ll explore ways to save on all aspects of your wedding.  Don’t think you have to give up anything because it can all be covered.  All it takes is the cooperation of your family and friends coupled with a little positive self-talk and perseverance.

 

I have been married twice (don’t worry, I got it right the second time!)  For both of my weddings, I had amazing ceremonies and receptions for around $2,000.  They were the talk of the town both now and then.  Throughout this book, I will tell you what we did to save money and still have an amazing wedding/reception.  Hopefully, you can gain some insight into a dream event for not a lot of money – just like we had!
