So many magazines have the "low-cost wedding" sections, but they are still out-of-range for most of us middle-class. Thanks for the ideas!<br /><br />blog.impulsesave.com@impulsesavehttp://blog.impulsesave.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6526366051209556508.post-34326484602098463532011-09-15T11:42:19.345-05:002011-09-15T11:42:19.345-05:00Your flowers were gorgeous!

I used Budget Wedding Invitations (http://www.budgetweddinginvitations.com/) that I found online. Some of them are cheesy and look cheap, so be sure to order a sample or two if you're uncertain. I went with the "Traditional Love Wedding" invite (no embossing or any special designs, just the raised wording in my specified color) and loved them!! Simple and the quality was great! I think we spent $250 on invites, including response cards, information cards, reply envelopes with pre-printed addresses, and our address printed on the outer envelope.<br /><br />Ooooh - I miss wedding planning. <br /><br />To elaborate on the flower arrangement discussion: Another idea is to only put flower arrangements on some tables and decorate with other things such as candles or fruit. For example, you could put an IKEA lantern with a candle in the middle with scattered flower petals around it. (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/search/?query=lantern) Or a candle arrangement on a mirror plate with "diamond" confetti sprinkled around. (http://www.efavormart.com/roundmirror.aspx)(http://www.diamondpartyconfetti.com/). As for the vase with fruit - raid your local Goodwill or your family/friend's cupboards. They're bound to have a few large vases you can fill with lemons, limes, oranges, apples, pine cones and cinnamon sticks with LED lights, etc. You can use the fruit the next day at the breakfast if you choose to have one, or you can always do a lot of baking or healthy eating!<br /><br />Obviously - some of my ideas depend on the vibe you're trying to set, so take the ideas with a grain of salt! :)kate p.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15640694790987253273noreply@blogger.com
