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.

Or maybe your a fan from way back when we featured her Star Wars poster STDs?

Joan and Tom’s upcycled carnival cabaret wedding

We married on September 11, 2010. We’d just met when the 9/11 tragedy occurred. After the initial shock subsided, we made a big feast for the people who lived in our building. That was the first loving thing we did as a couple, so we consider it our anniversary. It made sense to marry on that day (albeit having to explain the story a million times).

Sparkly and Bones’s epic burlesque nightclub wedding

Sparkly and Bones couldn’t imagine having anything but an epic, rock ‘n roll, burlesque night club wedding. There was burlesque, trapeze, hooping, skits, and an anti-bridezilla movie. How much more epic could it have been? Answer: It couldn’t have been more epic. -Becca
