The cakes were a gift and the rings were just plain bands and we had an amazing day. We'd just bought a house so we had no money and my parents had helped massively with buying the house so we didn't want to ask for any help with paying for this x Cass@TheDiaryofaFrugalFamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01491476767414959689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-86017856786413939942016-07-03T21:32:54.924+01:002016-07-03T21:32:54.924+01:00We did our wedding 21 years ago on a very tight bu...We did our wedding 21 years ago on a very tight budget. For us it was all about the people and not the event. I hope that my boys marry people who feel the same!

I do love a good wedding, though.

It is so tempting for a Wedding to cast practicalities aside though so good to have a plan to bring things in on budget.

I got married on 30th Dec and got a great deal because no venue was expecting to have a big party the day before New Years Eve and every place we approached was very happy to reduce costs. So often weddings get out of hand in terms of budget so it's good to have some tips.Phoebe @ Lou Messugohttp://www.loumessugo.com/en/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-21676674743549557072016-06-30T20:11:10.813+01:002016-06-30T20:11:10.813+01:00We did our wedding on a budget.

We also got married at the end of December which also helped as the hotel we booked was so much cheaper than in the summer.
