Go for a park. It's pretty, and everyone will enjoy that part of the experience

You can do all the flowers yourself. You can make the cake yourself. You can make the invitations.  These three things alone will save you hundreds of dollars.  A wedding is not "made" by how much money is spent.  What matters is that the bride and groom are happy and everyone had a good time.  If you know anyone with a nice sound system of their own you could ask them if they would be willing to do the music.  Why hire someone that will charge you an arm and a leg when you can just use a nice stereo system and ask everyone you know for different CD's.  Depending on how many women are in the wedding party you can either make the dresses if you know anyone that sews, or ask them to pay for half the dresses themselves.  Depending on location and if you want alcohol instead of having an open bar have it so that they have to pay. That way only the people who want to drink can and you are not paying for drinks that are not going to be consumed.  Small Weddings are great because you can limit the amout of people.  I hope some of these tips help.  Good Luck

The simple answer to this if you want to do it inexpensively is to keep it small. Most of us only have a few people we are truly close to, and these are the people you should invite. \n\nAs far as the ceremony goes, do something at your house or some place special to you. Picnic areas at local parks/lakes are very cheap to reserve. For a small fee, you can have your minister come out and say a few words to "renew" your marriage. Writing your own renewal vows can be a very meaningful. Doing all this at dusk with candles about will create a nice ambience. \n\nTreat  your guests to an inexpensive picnic type buffet. Light a campfire,  turn on the stereo and dance the night away!\n\nGood Luck!\n\nCheck out http://www.announcements.com for invitations.

A good theme in my mind is of "Renewal/Rebirth" I am not talking in the sense of the church but in the sense of you.  I would go for some flowers that are not completely bloomed yet, but almost there.  I would also use a lot of soft pastel colors, but make sure that you focus on the ones that remind you two the most of your original wedding colors.\n\nFor after wards, if you are outdoors type people i would go camping under the stars.  If you are more to indoors, I would try to find a nice spa that does couples sessions where you two can get a nice message or mud bath together.

You need to center it around something that is meaningful to you and your fiance. You must share common interests. List them and then think about what you can do to use that as a theme.\n\nPersonally, I'd love to attend a costume party wedding. I think that would be a blast! \n\n.

I hope your wedding is lovely and I'm sure it will be. I think an outdoor wedding is a beautiful idea. Just make sure to have a back up plan for rain, and you might want to think of renting a large tent. If you have your wedding in a naturally lovely setting like a garden you will need to spend less on decorations. Maybe your site could inform the theme of your wedding. For instance, for a garden wedding, you could give something like daffodil bulbs as favors. \n\nThink about what the weather is likely going to be like in the area when you are married, and get married when the temperature and weather are at the most comfortable.   \n\nI think there is a book called The Everything Book for Outdoor Weddings (I might have the title slightly wrong but you get the idea). It would be in the Wedding Section of a major bookstore. I wish you all the best on your life together.

First of all, buy a dress on sale.  Also, get married in a church. The flowers should be simple. Shop around for bargains.  Instead of a large sit down meal, do a cake and punch reception. You can get a cake from Albertson's or Stater Brothers. They will do an excellent job for a low price.  We had musician friends play at the reception and a friend agreed to MC.  Keep it simple, but elegant.

I am a wedding stationery designer so have heard it all in the last 7 years since i started!\n\nTry a theme you both love or have an interest in and something that your guests can enjoy too \nNaming the reception tables after songs that mean something to you, places you have visited - or different cocktails you enjoy and then each guest at each table gets the recipie for the cocktail and a glass to try as an alternative to a favour/gift\n\nif you are having a disco or band at the reception, get the guests to write their 3favourite songs and the artists who sang them on their RSVPs and then return them to you - you select the ones you like the most and pass them onto the DJ along with your own selection - and i guarentee your dancefloor will be full all nite and you wont beleive how many people will write down the same song!\n\ni could type for hours but have to go and do some work!\n\nall the best and have a wonderful day!

First of all, figure out something about who you are as a couple that you can use as a theme in your wedding – something you like to do, a place you love to go to, your first date… try to think of ways to bring that theme in, whether it’s setting up karaoke if you love that, or basing everying on Moulin Rouge.  There are other unusal things you can do, too.  One thing I’ve heard of is to have a photo booth brought in to your reception site – it can give you and/or your guests some fun mementoes.  One of my friends named her tables after different spots that held memories for her and her fiancé – at each table was a card with a picture of the place and a short story or explanation on the back.  With the right location, you can set your reception up so that it flows through different rooms – one room for appetizers and cocktails, done up all in blue, then the next room for the main meal, done all in white, then another room for dancing and cake, done all in pink; this can be done with different themes/colors/etc, or all the same theme.  You can set up a little “lounge” area, with couches and comfy chairs for people to hang out.  The website below has some other interesting ideas.  Good luck, and congratulations!

Yeah... have a nice wedding/ gathering outside in a nice park or something like that.  Make it nice and casual but still nice, walk barefoot down the aisle, and ahev a whimsical ceremony.  I am sure that you could ask the person who will be marrying you to do so at this location.

when we got married we picked the songs we wanted to dance to for our special dances other than that the djs usually have a paper and a list f sngs they have with them so people can make requests. You definately want a variety if you want people to get up and dance

As a former wedding coordinator and a great sympathizer with Bride's everywhere I say that it's your day and you should do what will make YOU happy.\nThat being said...you may want to consider a few things.  A medieval themed wedding is a great way to add style to your event as well as bring out a really fun aspect of your personality and interests.\nPurple and gold is not what I would suggest nor would I go with blue and silver either. \nGold would be a WONDERFUL choice as it is the color most often associated with divinity in ancient times.  I also think that gold would be best complemented in a shade of deepest green. It would certainly go well concerning your floral motif.  Flowers, plants, herbs all were very popular back then and by draping the area of the ceremony and reception with them as opposed to going with traditional bougets and table arrangement you could easily move them from these sites and straight to your home.  With loving care and attention theses plants, flowers, and herbs could thrive for a very long time.  What a wonderful parallel to your married life.  The same greenery still alive and flourishing as your love for each other continue to grow and flourish as well!\nGood luck and let me know how it goes!

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!
