Ed has always been a Pez collector so we went to the dollar store and bought lots of pez, hand wrote cards with our names and the date of the wedding and attached them to the pez with some pretty ribbon. Sounds a little weird but as you mention, you don't need to spend $3 on a tin of almonds.<BR/><BR/>For our flower arrangements we went super cheap also. We shopped around at local thrift stores and bought lots of clear glass vases for the center pieces. Not all of the vases matched, but they were all the same color so it didn't really matter in the end.<BR/><BR/>For our videographer, we found two guys that were just starting up a company to tape weddings so they did ours for free and provided us with two DVDs. They just needed something for their demo reels. Also, in high school I filmed lots of weddings and was very cheap labor.<BR/><BR/>For the actual ceremony, I wanted live music to walk down the aisle but couldn't afford a 4 piece band, so my mom contacted a local performing arts high school and found a senior girl that played the harp. I think we paid her $150 for her time and she was perfect. It was just the thing to set the ceremony apart.<BR/><BR/>I agree that if you are creative you can definitely plan a wedding that doesn't break the bank.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29407697.post-70622776390791158862008-04-11T09:52:00.000-05:002008-04-11T09:52:00.000-05:00This lady made a cake for a wedding i attended:htt...This lady made a cake for a wedding i attended:<BR/>http://www.myspace.com/howiesmom<BR/><BR/>It was beautiful and delicious.
