Wedding Plans! Need some help!

I was recently at my best friend's sister's wedding, which was both elegant and beautiful, but also inexpensive. For centrepieces, Pillar Candles are really good - you can get them in white, and decorate on and around them with glass beads - if anyone has the creativity and time, you can also carve them, stars are classic and lovely, or just carve out a space to place the beads around the candle in a pattern. The candles are (in "Crazy Clarks", Australia) about $2.50 each, and the beads are about the same price for 100 or so of the beadie things. Any of the sort of discount warehouse stores in your area probably have some really nice, inexpensive candles and decorative things - sometimes it just takes a bit of vision to make it come together. =D Also, for table cloths, I think it's more cost effective to go to a craft/sewing store and simply buy a material that you like by the metre and cut it to the size of the tables - that way you can have something truly unique for a fraction of the price. Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding!

Congrats on your upcoming wedding! I wish you all the best in the world! There are many places you can go to get some inexpensive items to use. I bought alot of my wedding decor from the Dollar General and the Dollar Tree. We had a beautiful out door wedding that didn't cost alot. We wanted to spend as little as possible on the wedding so we could have more money for the honeymoon. I even made my own bonquet. I bought the flowers I used from Wal-mart. You can pull off a cheap wedding and still have it look like you spent a lot! Good luck and may your lives be filled with love!
