Well we have 3months to pay for the church, find and buy two adult bridesmaid dresses, pay the photographer, na dget flowers etc and I'm panicing :(

Relax. The only thing that is fixed in price is the church- see if you can agree a payment plan. BM dresses don't have to be expensive- perhaps they already own something in the colour scheme? Flowers- again don't need to be expensive.

Search online for start up photographers as they will normally produce some great work but are just starting out so will provide photography for free and you just pay for the pics you want. If you live in Cheshire I can give you the details of one in particular whose work I have seen. With flowers, less is more anyway so you can do your flowers cheaply but elegantly so no-one notices a small budget in that area.

Defo look for some start up photographers/students... they do excellent work for a great price if not free... they gotta get experience somewhere. Flowers can be done cheaply especially if you have foam/wooden etc from bay of e or your local florist. Dresses don't have to be actual BM dresses can be a nice cheap dress from the high st. that looks lovely and matches your scheme. Xx

I know it may not be what you really want but if it helps you save a huge amount of cash ask around your guests and see if anyone has a decent camera and then ask if they'd like to photograph your wedding.. just stick some cash behind the bar for whoever you ask and get them a cheap pressie. Get them printed from Asda, the quality of them are always brilliant

Bridesmaids dresses can come from anywhere, especially good if you are on a budget. All the high street shops do nice dresses and at a fraction of the cost of formal bridesmaids dresses that you see in bridal shops. I have been a bridesmaid twice as an adult and both times I have been asked to buy the dress. Is that something you could ask your bridesmaids? They may be happy to do it especially if the dress is one that they could wear again.
As for flowers, we are not having any apart from bridal boquet, bridesmaids poseys and button holes and we are getting them in silk from ebay - they are much cheaper than the real thing and last longer!
I agree with Dove that the only thing you really need to get sorted moneywise is the church. without that you won't be getting married at all, and everything else is just window dressing!
CommentAuthorpennieb-MrsRiley
Agreed, concentrate on getting the church paid and worry about everything else after that. There are always ways round things - look at the thread on here about the £2k wedding :)
Now, finally, Mrs Riley
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I have the greatest husband!
