| My budget is very similar to yours.It ended up that $400 is going to flowers.$550 to the DJ.$375 for professionals to decorate the church and the ballroom.Photography - we're still workin' on it!We spent about $75 on invitations to 250 people/families - we made 'em ourselves and they turned out really nice. Good luck with everything! We're set to be married on August 2nd this year! |

| I spent £650 on our flowers. They were beautiful but simple. We just had Calla Lillie's and orchids. Then in with that was a little green leaf. They don't have to be expensive to make an impact. And don't forget something like photos will last forever but flowers will be dead when you get back off honeymoon. Good luck. |
