Possible or Not! Totally possible reguardless of the theme you choose. Most people think that a theme wedding is going to blow their budget right out of their pockets, but not always true. I had a beautiful Irish Renesance wedding on a fixed income. Luckily I am good on a sewing machine but you don't have to be. I went through the costume patterns and made all of our outfits without a problem. This can save you a lot, but also if you can find someone that does sew they will usually make the costumes for you at a resonable price with your choice of materials. If you don't know someone run an add in your local paper, your sure to find someone you can work with.

Don't ever think your dream is impossible, cause where there is a will there is a way! Time to call in your friends and family to find out who has what talent. What they may be willing to do to help you have the wedding of your dreams. I know, your thinking I can't get them to do anything any other time, but weddings bring out the best in most people. They usually want to see a bride have her dream come true. They are also more apt to put up with your bridezilla days, without getting offend. Not just that but you can count on them for honest opinions on your choices, cause they know you and what you like.

You have a lot of options available to you, for example: you can find more great deals on line at half the price the stores charge than you would believe. I ordered most everything I needed on line and shipping cost was reasonable if there was any at all on somethings. I wanted a castle for my wedding topper and I found it. It is beautiful, I couldn't of asked for a prettier one. White, blue and trimmed out in gold. I even found a wonderful way to keep it and look at it when ever I wanted. Since it is ceramic, your going to laugh, but I put it in my huge fish tank and added a variety of stuff to match. Now I am reminded daily of that wonderful day I walked down the isle. Oh, what did that cost me? Well, a mind blowing ten dollars. You can't buy a castle for a fish tank for that price and its more than that. It is a wonderful memory!

Pull a few tricks out of your hat and use your imagination. Make your own favors. If you are like most brides that want that big wedding well you have scheduled it a year away and have a few hours every weekend to put some stuff together. Put it in a box and label it and check it off your list as done! My favors were shot size brandy glasses with gold ribbon curling all around
