Well done on agreeing the date. The main thing with budget is to be realistic as to what you can put to one side. You don't want to commit yourself to things and then realise you can't afford them. Also bear in mind that you could have unexpected expenses, like a car breaking down for example, so don't commit every last penny. I would start buying things early as long as you know you definitely want them, that way you can spread costs out. If you can make things like centrepieces and favours yourselves that will save you a lot of money, and maybe use garden flowers for decorations. You could also design and print your own stationary if you're good with that kind of thing. Dresses can be found cheaply if you get them from a sample sale, or some charity shops have bridal stores.

thanks ladies both great ideas, had a quick chat earlier over dinner and he hasn't got a clue on prices lol..... his could be interesting xx
