My first wedding cost us about £200 all together, with gifts of wine from my sister and cakes from friends, and the reception in my mother's garden. I did my own catering, including the cake. Mum said it was one of the best weddings she'd been to!!
This time round I'd like to spend a little more, as I feel it means much more to me, but not stupid amounts. I envisage a small ceremony, family and close friends, a meal somewhere and a bring and share reception in a community hall.
I've seen my perfect dress online, but it's a bit expensive so I'm looking for similar things cheaper. Probably black and aubergine or grape - as I'd like a grape vine theme - we drink a lot of red wine!! Also purple is my favourite colour and green is Lee's. Don't let me go on ad nauseum about this though! Tell me to shut up!
