Budget Brides??

I second many of the other vendors the ladies have already listed.

In terms of photography, I found Fade to Black and Thomas Paul to be the most willing to work with budgets. The nice thing is that they offer different styles of photography so you have options without breaking the bank.

Florists: I actually found Distinctive Floral Design to be the cheapest (by about $600) out of several I met with.

DJs: I'm booked with After Hours becaus FH and I got a good vibe from them. They were great with working with our budget and being accomodating with extras (we're doing uplighting). Tommy's Tunes also came in around the same price.

STDs - I got magnets from vistaprint. GREAT quality - so happy with how they came out! I waited for a groupon so it was super cheap also. I wait for as many groupons as possible - it saves SO much $$!

I didn't get up to limos yet, but I'm also only going to need a shuttle (pick up/drop off). My BM mentioned that if you tell limo companies you only need a pick up/drop off it might be cheaper than requesting a bus for 3 hours.

Random bit of advice - I went to a bridal showcase before I met with vendors. I tried to book my appointments with them there. They usually take a certain % off their package or give out coupons. Distinctive did this - they gave out a $200 coupon and it made the difference between high and low centerpieces for me.

Don't take out a loan…my sister took one out for her Oheka Castle wedding 5 years ago. It was beautiful of course, but they were broke for a while, he lost his job a few years later and they're now getting a divorce. Not to be negative…just don't want to see anyone go into debt for one day, as special as it is. You can create a BEAUTIFUL wedding on a budget.

Check out Prestige Wedding Center. I booked my photography, videography and DJ through them and they threw in the limo and invitations for a great price. Let me know if you want their contact information.
