BRONZE BUDGET BRIDE

I'm so excited to share this with you because Amie, one of the original members of Bronze Budget Bride, she has proven that you can have a beautiful, breath-taking wedding for 150 guests with a $5000 budget!

If you want the details on how she and her husband Justin pulled it off, check back very soon because I will be posting all her money saving tips. For now, please enjoy these beautiful photos from the couple's Thanksgiving nuptials in Nova Scotia, Canada!





Her wedding dress was $549 from David's Bridal and since it didn't need altering, she saved even more.



The bride and groom went to a small florist and were able to get the bride's bouquet, a toss bouquet, two bridesmaid bouquets, a flower girl crown, three (3) corsages for the moms and grandmas, and seven (7) boutonnieres for the men all for $300.









Although the photographer shot only one wedding prior to theirs, his portfolio impressed the couple so they took a chance booking him which obviously paid off.











Amie's gorgeous bright, red wedding shoes were purchased at Endless.com for less than $50! As the bride explained, these were her "little giggle" throughout her October 10th, 2009, Catholic ceremony.

The reception that followed was held at the Ball Room of the Grand Hotel in Nova Scotia where the 150 guests partied the night away!



Amie and along with her bridesmaids carved the pumpkins for her centerpieces the night before the big day. They made decreative holes in the pumpkin "just shy of making a full hole" and placed tealight at the center of it so they glowed in the dimly light room.



The cake was another money saving move because Amie found a baker who makes amazing birthday cakes but hadn't yet tried her hands at making wedding cakes. They took another chance here and got a beautiful, three tiered wedding cake with three flavors for $250.



They had the wedding of their dreams and they obviously had fun yet they spent way less than the average cost of a wedding!  Congratulations to our bronze budget couple!
