I'm saving this video for my nonexistent wedding LOL. Not there yet but I for sure want a small/intimate wedding that isn't over 15k. 10K is ideal, 15K max. I do want to send out physical invites because I'm a lover of stationary. But I plan to make them myself.

I think these are great ideas. I think the best tip is 1. Set a budget and find out what "in kind" contributions that are non monetary ie free photography, flower making, cake making, printing, music, entertainment, borrowing things without rental fees, flowers from garden (but don't rely heavily as you never know the growing season,) 2. The dress great tips but most brides are beautiful – slim (the joke is have a few kids and lose figure) so they make anything look good. USed, new, vintage whatever look at the clearance dresses,consider alterations and redesigns – how expensive is it to fix, alter, repair etc. Sometimes it can be a great deal even with repairs; other times repairs might be crazy ie a beaded dress can be very expensive to alter. Keep an open mind. Most brides have a vision especially about the dress but until y ou try it on you won't know. 3 put out on cue cards all the elements of your wedding iee invites to food to outfits to entertainment etc. Then rank them so y ou can figure out what is really important to you. ie a cake may not be a big deal Borrow accessories like wraps and veils. REuse recycle – often venues may be decorated for ie christmas and you may not need a lot of decor.

Waiting for it….waiting for it and it drops. 40 person wedding for 15K, that's 375.00 per person. Congratulations, you just spent more than the average wedding in the US. Don't hurt yourself patting yourself on the back.

Most used wedding dresses aren’t from divorce – it’s so so common to sell your dress after the wedding nowadays

Just a tip. Pls close your bathroom/toilets when you make a video that is not related to the bathroom/toilet. We can see the toilet cause your bathroom door is open. I really liked your tips! Smart planning!
