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.

I could look at this site all day long!!  So if you have an event to go to (wedding, New Year’s, whatever..), you’re in a wedding or you are the bride looking for your bridal party, you must check out bluefly.com.

Here is one great fun way to personalize your wedding or any other event for that matter.  I think we may do these for the Darby Hen Party (a weekend gathering of 20 fabulous ladies, 4 generations!) that we plan every year.

Instead of doing these as favors, why not use them for your signature drink and for your toast.  Would make for some fantastic photos and you can keep a few to drink on your anniversary!
