Hello and welcome! lots of help on here so you're in good hands. try and use your own skills and friends/family as much as possible. you could make your own stationery (invites, seating plans, order of day etc), make your own centrepieces, you could get someone to make the cake. don't have to bother with some extras like chair covers, or even favours (tho tbh you can get some really nice favours quite cheap)... good luck x

Hi Louise, There is alot that can be done with £1000. Make a list of what you have left to include. Then put them in priority order.... How Many guests do you have?I am happy to help you for free :-)

Kind Regards

Hello pretty,

Congrats on the engagement. Good luck with the wedding plans. My friend got married earlier this year on a budget silimar to yours.

She kept a simple pink and white theme. By not mixing too many colours or themes it kept the cost down.

One thing I really liked though was instead of favours she put a pink lollypop infront of each name card with a little bit of ribbon around it. Shows that most things can look great with a little presentation.

We're getting married on the same day as you! Goodluck in doing it for under 1000, ebay is your bible!

several advices for you,firstly, you can buy off the rack dress instead of ordering an expensive one, because you only wear it once; secondly, don't invite more friends to your wedding, just invite a few of best friends; thirdly, you can choose the nearest place to spend honeymoon. My colleague bought her wedding dress online, it is really very cheap but very beautiful.
