Little Charlie's Daddy and I have been together now since June 2006. We have our little boy and our own place so the next step really seems to be marriage, right? Well if you asked my Mother In Law she'd probably say 'no get popping out some more grandchildren!' ha ha. She loves babies. But I also know That she'd LOVE to see her only Son, her only child in fact, get married and be 'properly' settled down. I would also love to be married before we have anymore Children.

So how does a young family, on a modest budget, with only one wage coming in go about getting hitched! And is it possible to have a wedding with only a £500 budget?

Up for grabs are 4 beautiful Earth pure Facial Toning Spritzers worth £5.90 Each in Orange Blossom Fragrance.

  1. I am currently planning my own wedding.. my budget tip is to save money by using the skills of friends and family who have a talent in something that can be of use to you for your wedding. For example, if you have a friend that is into photography ask him to take your wedding photos as this will save a lot of money. Or if your mum/mother in law is a great cake baker ask if she would be willing to bake your wedding cake. already follwing your blog.

  2. Another tip i have is this: i have found that wedding stationary can add a lot to the cost of a wedding, and you can save money by doing it yourself. If you enjoy being creative and have enough time you can create your invites and table place cards with some ribbon and anything else that you fancy, such as buttons, photos etc. xx

  3. If you and your partner are happy to get married on a very low budget, don't listen to any nasty comments! It is your s and your partners day, nobody elses xx

  4. We had a seated finger buffet instead of a formal sit down meal. Had far too many people (256 for sit down!) So had the caterers serve large platters of 'party's food to the tables. This went down really well with our guests as everyone was catered for in dietary needs etc.. who doesn't like sandwiches and cake?

  5. My suggestion would be to have an afternoon ceremony. That way you can go on to your reception venue, have photos and drinks and then go straight into an evening do and buffet. You'd be cutting the cost of a sit down meal (and only paying for people to eat once!) and would have plenty of time in the morning to be pampered without rushing - our wedding was an early one and of course there were so many hiccups, I'd have loved to have longer to relax and enjoy getting my hair and make up done, photos etc
    I'd also call in the help of friends with skills and talents. They could make your invitations, cake, favours, bouquet as your wedding gift. You already have your home set up and as nice as pressies are you could massivly cut your wedding costs this way :)
    Good luck! I'm sure your wedding will be fantastic!
