I live in Sydney so my wedding would most likely be around the CBD and the costs are just phenomenal! <br /><br />One of the reasons I am so tempted to run away and elope when the time comes and then have a fun BBQ with family when we get back.Rhiannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05565266826932913447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652565270497580470.post-56959944161312010012013-05-22T22:16:28.006-07:002013-05-22T22:16:28.006-07:00We got away with our wedding for just under $8,000...We got away with our wedding for just under $8,000. We only had 65 guests (including wedding party). My dress was $560 and bridesmaids dresses were $60 each. 3 suits for the boys at $120 hire. We paid for the use of 1 car for the wedding, friends donated their cars for the day. I made all the invitations, name cards, thank you cards, wishing well cards, table names and seating plans myself. I hand dyed 500 star fish. It ended up being a lot of work, but we put $1000 on the bar for drinks, we supplied the wine that we had been given as a early wedding present so only had to pay corkage, the bar tab only covered the wine corkage and beer and soft drink. And the buffet meal was $30 a head and the cake was $250 for a 3 tiered chocolate covered in white chocolate ganache. As cheap as it sounds, I purchased a lot of things from cheap as chips,much as the plates and candles for the table centrepieces. eBay was a god send, as was spend less shoes! I loved my day immensely and was so relieved we managed to do it on such a budget. There are a few things I ended up a little disappointed with. But I still have my memories, and I loved my day and felt I've a princess!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
