Oh all of this is *SO* true. I had one of the cheapest weddings that I’ve ever been to, and people are still telling me that it was the best. It was *VERY* DIY.

I agree on the shoes…me and white shoes are not friends. I wore blue, for my “something blue.” (Seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/geekxnerd/157608781/) Not all of my wedding photos are online, but if you’d like to take a peek they’re in my sister’s flickr set here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tealeavesxpotatos/sets/72157594191680154/

Those turquoise shoes are all kinds of fabulous.

Great decorating ideas too!

Funny you mention the bridal shop thing…i fell in love with a overly expensive dress UNTIL i went to bloomingdales…i found my wedding dress there for 300 bucks and it had very similar details to a Chanel gown I had seen in a French Vogue several years before and had always said “i would like a wedding dress like this someday”…SCORE!

I did the infusion jars for my wedding, big hit.

Tip on the infusion jar clog factor – fill the bottom of the jar with (clean) glass marbles. Just enough to cover the hole for the spigot. They will help filter out the fruitie bits, keeping it from getting clogged up.
