BRING ON THE COLOR
I was originally wanting all lavender and dark purple flowers since purple is my color, but when I was at the photographers looking through their albums I FELL in love with multi color gerbera daisy boquets. These arent exactly how the girls and my boquet will look but it will be all gerbera daisies, all the colors of the rainbow :) Theirs will have 6 each with some greens to make it larger, and mine will have 12 gerbera daises. The guys boquets will have 1 mini gerbera daisy with tiny plants of other colors wrapped around it so that it looks color full, and not so large. 6 bouqets, my bouqet, 4 crosages, and 10 boutineers.........$450!

Bridesmaids
Bridesmaids dresses are from David's Bridal. Tried to go affordable for them, since their are 6 girls and most of them are also on tight budgets! I told them I dont care how they do their hair as long as its not identical to mine. I dont have the money to pay for all of their hair to get done, so how can I dictate how they have to do their hair? Right? They will look gorgeous in them! One thing positive I can say about David's is that they don't charge more for plus sizes. My maid of honor is a plus size and all of the designer dresses I was looking at having them buy wanted to charge $60-$70 more for her dress since she is over a size 16. That is just not fair I feel. So, we went to David's where all sizes are treated the same! :D

Card Box- Homemade!
So, I am not the craftiest person but I have to give it to myself on this one! I was on etsy.com poking around and stumbled on a lady selling these three tiered "cake" looking gift card boxes for $59.00. I thought to myself...hmm I wonder if I could buy three hat boxes, fabric, fake pearls, and ribbon and make it myself? ALAS! I did. Cutting out the holes and the top notch was the hardest, but once I got past that it turned out perfect.
Let me know what ya think! :)
This took 3 hours, but was worth it in the end since the whole thing cost me about $26.00!

Wedding Dress
Beautiful AND affordable!
Well, after months of shopping for the perfect dress I finally found it! I thought for sure I was going to be that bride who never had her "This is it" moment. It has a little of everything I was looking for. I want to get shoes that have flowers on them but everyone is telling me it may look tacky since the dress has a lot of detail as it is.
All I have to say is- the dress was under $700 and looks just as beautiful as the ones I tried on for $1500! I couldn't justify spending more than $700 on a dress that yes, I will marry the man of my dreams in, but only wear one day. I absolutely love the dress, and love the fact that I didnt break my bank account for it!
