Original post by curiousgeorge

Fh and I as you may know are paying for college,an apartment and a wedding...on top of that we are saving towards our dream home!! So I washoping to start a thread that maybe we can all help each other out. IF you see a great deal or are doing any thing to save here adn there please post!!!

SO far...I have worked with the lady at my favorite stop and shop to create these awesome identical bouquets of flowers at a price of 9 bucks each. My best friend and I are going to get extra fabric and wrap them the night before at our hotel!

Centerpieces I am getting rose pettles really cheap from a wholesale florist and using three long and pink taper candles on our tables with a bunch of tea lights.

We found a great photographer and videography with a very reputable company and great website for a total of 2000!!! YES FOR BOTH COMBINED> thats for 8 hours and basic package. fm me for details

Our dj is well known and fantastic...I saw a friend of a friends wedding video and must have him...1395 for a nice package.

We are having our wedding on Labor day....We got the thatched cottage to give us the entire day to decide on our hours. So we get part day and part night. We got winter rates for a september wedding!!! Your talking minus 25$ a head!!! We also got them to throw in a chocolate fountain, we are having a sushi chef and frozen drinks!

Since we having our wedding On a monday...myhotel and flight will be cheaper leaving on a Tuesday.

I've been grabbing numbers from music schools for strings during ceremony, these college students will work for food, drink, and little $$ for the extra money and experience.... Plus it will feel good to give them money because they are struggling artists and I myself remember what having extra money and not eating ramen noodles for a night in college felt like...



Can you share info w/ me please piano players or violnist please



im looking into this too

Okay can someone fill me in on Phylis and gownfind. What is her contact info, website, where is she located, etc. HELP!!!!!!


Phyllis owns Bridal Elegance on Jericho Turnpike in Dix Hills. Store website: www.bridaleleganceNY.com

She also manages the site www.gownfind.com and can get amazing deals on dresses. Just e-mail her and she will give you her best quote on any dress. She came in between $200-$500 less than any other store on all the dresses I like, and the dress I bought was $400 less with her. Just email her or drop in to the shop.

just heard she is expanding and will be doing tuxes as well.

I am a very big budget bride! I have a $7000.00 budget! I know it's hard to believe, but I am actually doing very well on my budget! I am finding things cheaper than I originallty thought. It's hard though.
