When planning a wedding on a budget you must be a little more creative.  Not a problem.  Other than food your music and photography can really take up a big portion of your budget.  So here it goes.

You will never hear me say that photography is something you can skimp on.  I am a huge photography snob! haha  (ok, so I think every vendor is incredibly important!)  For our budget wedding we are using Mary Lashbrook.  While Mary has more expensive packages her package #2 for $1,600 is perfect for this budget bride.  I have been impressed with Mary Lashbrook for a long time and any bride should be thrilled to use her!!

Photography ; $1,600

Next on the list is music.  This one is fairly easy.  Since our bride is doing a non-traditional reception she can forgo some of the formalities and since our ceremony and reception are in the same location we are able to use one vendor for both.  Something light, romantic and elegant. String Trio.  (We have several that we suggest- give us a call for contact info).

String Trio – $650

Remaining Budget: $2,125
