We actually pulled this off by not using vendors that were specifically wedding vendors, e.g. a 'wedding' cake is more costly than a normal multi tiered cake that you can add wedding decorations to later. I ended up paying for all my ceremony flowers for the cost of what I would have paid for 1 bridal boquet from a florist. It was certainly a bit stressful trying to pull off a nice wedding ceremony on a very limited budget, but we were pleased with the outcome, even though our ceremony was a bit unconventional (we just are not conventional people). Everyone seemed to be a bit impressed with the fact that our ceremony and celebration was not typical. We invited everyone to a champagne happy hour and what they got was a wedding and a champagne cocktail reception. The highlight for me was taking photographs of people as their mouths fell open in surprise. The guests and I are still laughing.
