I'm sure you can do it. Its amazing what you can do with the help of family and friends and you know your wedding will be ace because you know the true meaning of what it is all about rather than getting lost in the fancy trimmings. You will have to show us the photos as I'm sure it will be an amazing day! x x

Hi I am a tight budget too and like you have done a lot of it myself..there are some beautiful maternity wedding dresses on a well known auction site.
CommentAuthorpanther_87k
Im on a budget of £2k excluding honeymoon and have written a list of everything needed including all the little bits and pieces and have written an over-estimate for each which comes in on budget, so i should realistically come in under budget.
maybe contact ann about maternity dresses, shes well recommended by loads of ladies on here and may be able to adapt a design you like?

Congratulations on both your marriage and your pregnancy!
I keep getting paranoid that I will fall pregnant and walk down the aisle with a bump showing - I really worry about it. But I reckon that after the reality sank in, I would be laughing and get on with it!!
My budget is not so tight anymore because parents are contributing, fiance's granny is contributing and his folks are too. But to start off with, we had a very low budget. Things have changed for us, but even so, I love the fact that my brother is doing the invites, my best friend is doing the flowers, a friend of the family is making the cake. Everyone is helping one way or another. Feel the love!
You can find what you want and nearly any price. Want a beautiful white dress for £50? Of course it's possible. There is a blog of a couple who chose to do their wedding for under $2K not because they were broke, but because they thought that it was a real waste of money for one day. They spent a long time talking together about their visions and goals for the day and decided it was more about familes and friends coming together and devised games and activities that would bring people closer together over a weekend of celebration where everyone stayed in camping style accommodation. She picked her dress up in a thrift shop (charity shop) and embroidered designs that were symbolic about them as a couple. Maybe you can make your own dress or know a family member who could make you one??
Whatever you do, enjoy your day!
