8 Creative Wedding Ideas on a Budget

Keep Your Wedding on Budget!

Did you know that the average cost of a wedding is now $25,000?  When I got married many years ago, I was on a tight budget.  Certainly tighter than $25,000.  That is for sure.  I ended up making a lot of things for my wedding.  I made my cake, my dress, my flower arrangements, and my decorations.  I then handed my sister a camera and made her the “official” photographer.  Yep, I’m cheap like that.

You don’t have to go to extremes like I did.  But you can certainly put together a few things on your own to make your wedding special and stay in your budget.  Then maybe you can splurge elsewhere, like on that wedding dress!  Here are a few ideas to get you thinking:

Vintage Photo Mason Jars

This is a beautiful idea for table centerpieces at the reception.  Vintage Pictures in Mason Jars are easily created and will last for years!  They make great keepsakes for the wedding guests of your special occasion and really take no time to make.
