Hold the wedding/reception at a local park. Not sure what Maymont or or others charge in the area. Check with the park & rec departments of each county/city.

I would start with a budget. There are a ton of sites out there (theknot.com probably being the most popular) that offer budget planners. Figure out what is important to you...you should get to spoil yourself just a little on your wedding day! \n\nAlso dont be afraid to ask friends and family with special skills if they wouldnt mind lending a hand. For example, my brothers girlfriend's sister went to culinary school, Ive only met her a few times, but she is happy to make my cake (more as a favor to her sisters boyfriend, but Ill take what I can get!) \n\nI just made my hopefully all-inclusive budget, here are the things I included:\n\nReception Dinner - if you have it at a relatives house or hall, you might be able to have family prepare the meals and save money on the site and food costs.\n\nReception Alcohol- limit it to beer and wine and see if you can provide the alcohol yourself if you have it at a restaurant or inn.\n\nRehearsal dinner- try bbq or pot luck\n\nwedding rings\n\ndress, alterations, & accessories- try a consignment shop, or if youre a size 6ish try sample gown sales.\n\nphotography- try posting bulletins at local colleges for photography majors and ask to see their portfolios\n\nDJ- I have heard people hooking ipods up to stereo systems, although I dont know how well that would work\n\nInvitations- you can get pretty basic ones from target/walmart/kmart/etc for cheap that arent bad\n\ncake- have a small one for show, and buy sheet cake from a grocery store to serve\n\nCake Accessories- you can register for the cake topper and knives and hope to get them for your bridal shower, or use your parents or grandparents and they will have added meaning!\n\nwedding party gifts\n\ncenterpieces- Im thinking of ordering bulk flowers from sams club or costco, and getting a friend to take care of it to cut costs\n\ntransportation- if a family member has a nice car opt for that over the ridiculously priced limo\n\ngrooms attire- go for a suit over a tux\n\nHoney Moon- go somewhere close enough to drive to\n\nmarriage license- usually around $50\n\nwedding favors- these are optional any way, but if you want to have them donate a small amount to charity and let the guests know that you have made a donation to charity in their names in leiu of a wedding favor (no one has to know how much, and Im sure you local fire dept or animal shelter would appreciate even a $50-100 donation)\n\npostage- for save the dates (optional), invites, rsvp, and thank you (you may be able to cut costs by asking guests to rsvp online)\n\ninsurance- YES YOU NEED THIS! if someone gets into an accident after driving home drunk from your wedding guess who they will sue! everyone! the bartender, the restaurant, and you! plus, its good if something unexpected happens, i.e. the electricity goes out at the reception site, etc. its only about $100, see if you can get it through your home owners policy, or look online, Im sure there are sites.\n\nHope that's helpful and not overwhelming! Good luck and congratulations!

Well, a wedding is a big thing, and takes a lot of organization.  I highly recommend using a wedding website to keep track of things – they usually have lots of resources, lists of things to do that can be checked off, and budgeting tools, both to help you set one up and also to keep track of how it’s going.  You can also buy wedding planning books.  If you want to find local vendors (photographers, florists, bakers, etc) I recommend going to a local bridal show if you can; this is a nice way to find a bunch of different people all at once.  Also, get your friends and family involved – there are often a lot of people who would love to be involved in your wedding, so take advantage of that and get them to help with making favors or addressing invitations and stuff, all those little things.  Keep in mind that there are quite a few things that make a big difference that you don’t want to completely forget (rings, dress, flowers, etc), but also don’t obsess over little details like some people do – it doesn’t make a huge difference whether the tablecloths are cream or beige, for example.  Do your research, because you can find some great deals, but it might take quite a bit of time and patience.  And don’t forget to look in non-wedding related places for things – being labeled “wedding” anything drives the price up.  For example, my flower girls’ dresses were purchased right after Easter, so they were on sale and they were adorable and about a quarter of the price of a typical flower girl dress.  Most of all, keep in mind what you want, be willing to compromise when you need to, and HAVE FUN! :o)

I'm a big fan of the website www.theknot.com.  You can go under real weddings and choose the catagories summer and outdoor weddings.  Get creative ideas from others and then cater it to your own vision.  \n1. A pot luck picnic is a great idea, especially if it's family only.  To coordinate the menu though, you will want to designate who brings what.\n2. Make your own invitations and use a postcard for the rsvp (it will save on using an additional envelope plus the postage).  Get ideas off of the knot website.\n3. Compile your own cds.  My brother is going to be the master of ceremonies for ours and has now recruited others to join him.  \n4. David's Bridal is always advertising dresses for $99.  You can also check out what they have online and print out your favorites to bring to the appt.\n5. Enlist the help of the amateurs...that have a bit of skill.  Know anyone who takes good pictures...there's your photographer.  Know anyone who can make a cake...there you go!  You can go with a simple 3 tier round cake with white frosting and decorate it with cascading daisies.\n\nHope this helps!

Check locally online..in my area we have a wedding website just for local brides.  Many sell their items after the wedding has passed.  Good luck
