Hiya,
I've just joined this site so allow me to extend greetings to you all We're planning on getting married this November if we can afford it and I was hoping to get some tips on how to make the day a little more alternative. For example, are there any cakemakers you are aware of near Worksop who can ice a tiered cake to look like the Donkey Kong or Super Mario games for a not-too-extortionate price? What sort of table centrepieces should we be going for? Our taste is 80s and videogames (going down the aisle to the main theme from Zelda) - but would Rubix cubes just look a little strange?
It's all very shoestring at present, and we are hoping to keep the cost under £2k. Massive thanks to the Dover-based shop I bought the dresses from, the dress and three bridesmaids' dresses are coming in at £330 total. But beyond that we aren't sure where to spend and where to stretch the pennies (other than arriving in tractors driven by family friends instead of vintage cars!!) Would it be better to have a later civil service to save on the cost of food, or can a whole day be done for our budget?
Many thanks for reading this,
R x
