my cousin got married recently on a tight budget. she had been talking about how she was going to diy everything, and i was excited to see how it would go. it ended up being really great, it was such a stylish wedding and she did not spend a fortune.
my suggestion is to go for your favorite food rather than some fancy catered food that you do not even enjoy!
i was, i thought it looked like something that could be featured on a video or a blog or something. i totally agree, i am planning a wedding and trying to plan something cheap.
