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.

Jennifer & Rick’s romantic candlelit Daft Punk music wedding

When you meet at Coachella and share a passion for music, it’s only right to honor it with a rockin’ after-party featuring all the music from the concerts you’ve seen. Add in some band name table numbers, glow sticks, Ring Pops, and a Daft Punk cake, and these guests were ready to dance. But not before an ultra-romantic candlelit ceremony!

custom wine bottle labels

Use custom wine labels to save money on your wedding booze… covertly!

For our wine we bought eight cases of Trader Joe’s Two-Buck Chuck (four cases of chardonnay, two merlot, two cabernet sauvignon), took off the labels, and slapped on our own. So any self-described “wine snobs” at our event wouldn’t get uptight. Since we constantly remove labels and stick new ones on for our home-brewed beer, I have a couple quick tips for anyone pulling the ol’ switcheroo to save major dollars on the bar.

Laura & Henry’s casual kite-flying pinwheel wedding

This casual, outdoor wedding has a ton going for it: pinwheels, kites, aerial silks performance, an elaborate ruse where the couple hides among the guests in disguise, and a hilarious officiant (with video!). We also find out just how far the groom will go to prove his love for his bride… beating up old ladies. Just don’t make him prove it.

Jessicah & Adam’s punk pop culture-filled wedding

This couple met making films and decided it was only right to make it official in the theater where they’ve spent so much time together. In addition to throwing out tons of references to their favorite shows and movies, these kids actually made two short films to start off the ceremony! If that wasn’t enough, you’ll get to see the groom’s rad giant green mohawk.
