economical wedding

This is our celebration of weddings working with lower budgets. We don’t call these “budget weddings,” because realistically EVERY wedding has a budget — some weddings are just working with a smaller budget. We’ve got tons of low-budget wedding inspiration and ideas — come get inspired by how other couples have made the most of their money! You may also want to check out our wedding budgeting advice.

Lara & Matt’s mid-summer musical forest wedding

Just a few of the elements of this wedding that I love: the “Just Married” skidder, the pine cone heart, the flash mob belly dance, the accordion accompaniment to the ceremony, the Black Hawk helicopter fly-over, and oh, about a million more things. You might want to check it out to see what I didn’t list.

Hayley & Stephen’s 1950s polka dot wedding

They could have hopped a plane to Vegas, but why not capitalize on how good the groom looks with Teddy Boy hair and rock a 1950s theme? Add in a three-piece live band, black flamingo accents, and LOTS of polka dots, and the theme is made!

Tracy & Nick’s crafty and thrifty paper poms wedding

A craft day was required for the amount of DIYing happening at this wedding. Wooden flowers, paper poms, crafty centerpieces, and mini clothespins… it’s inspiration overload! Add in more awesomeness like the bride’s brother as officiant and the casual Hungarian catering, and it’s a sweet little party.

Lane & Jeff’s eco-conscious upcycled wedding

You know a wedding has made good eco choices when you only end up with a small grocery bag of trash at the end. Add that to the fabulously upcycled dress, DIYed napkins, coffee filter flowers, homemade jam favors, massive potluck (with nine pies!), and an awesome depression-era band, and you’ll love this sweet outdoor, budget party.
