limit your limo use to only 3 hours if possible. i would recommend using flowers by burton.....they are a wholesaler and have the best prices around. possibly think of lowe CP's (cheaper then tall ones) or stay away from flower CP's and so pictures or candles.

For flowers try low centerpieces they help save a lot of money. If you are stuck on High Centerpieces then maybe you can mix high and low centerpieces for you RH. Try Verbena design I am $65 for low centerpieces see my albums for my samples.

flowers: i'm not using flowers for CP so that was able to keep my cost down.

Limos: we are using a party bus so we don't need too many limos.

i think its a matter of your whole budget and deciding what is the most important and what needs the money put into it.

GOOD LUCK!

Re: Does anyone have any tips on....

definitely go low for the CPs or like the others said, mix low and high to save some money. As far as limo's, it really depends on the size of your bp and if your'e getting married in a church. You might be able to fit the whole BP in one limo and then just have a smaller car for you and FH, again it depends on your situation.

As far as veil, I've heard many girls talk about Barron's at Tri County, supposedly they have good deals, what length are you looking for?

And for the BP gits. I was having the same issue, it depends on how many you have and what you want to spend. I ended up getting them DOJ at Macys and since I had a 20% off coupon I saved a good amount on the girls and was still able to get them really nice things.
