Becki & Jeremy’s Wild West Frontier Wedding

Becki & Jeremy run a wilderness summer camp together. Their wedding reflected this aspect of their lives. They had a fun-filled weekend with lots of outdoor activities: a hike, a 5k run, a bonfire, fishing and their wedding ceremony!

Rebecca & Kain Kaare’s vintage, camp ground, tea party wedding

We were on a very tight budget and ended up spending only $3000 including our wedding clothes, rings, and the honeymoon. We had the wedding party at a campground to save cash. For food, I made alot myself but also got sandwiches from Jimmy Johns because it’s my favorite food. Kaare drew the design for our wedding invitation so we were able to make those ourselves.

We went with an eclectic look; clashing bright colors (mostly orange and paisley), bowls of skittles mingled with tea cups, and cupcake stands we made ourselves out of vintage plates. We also included my husband’s heritage by having a traditional Norwegian wedding cake in addition to the cupcakes.

Our $2000 Summer Camp Wedding

We started the wedding planning process by declaring a strict and modest budget: $2,000 to be exact. We wanted our wedding to be about sincerity, authenticity, connection, and a celebration and proclamation of love and commitment. We didn’t want it to be about monogrammed napkins and excessive amounts of fondant. In all honesty, we didn’t want to let our wedding overshadow our relationship (and we needed to save money for the house we planned to buy four days after our wedding).
