This week our budget is $10,000.

Many things can inspire you for your beautiful wedding.  Be sure to make it personal and unique.   Here is the story our “bride with a budget” gave me to plan her wedding.

“Jacks and I go for brunch every Sat. morning.  Sometimes we include our friends but others it is just the two of us.  I really love our brunch dates.  I also adore the warm summer weather and really want an outdoor garden wedding but I am concerned about the heat, especially since we will have some elderly guests.  Our relationship has always been very romantic and I would love to express that at our wedding.”

What a fun Challenge!  Since our bride wanted an outdoor summer wedding (in KY) we decided to go with a fun brunch.  The outdoor garden ceremony will begin at 10:30am – just before the heat of the day arrives.  Followed by a hearty brunch, complete with mimosa’s.

Attire:  Limit to 2 attendants per side.  This will cut some costs on gifts and keep with the relaxed, romantic garden wedding theme.
