Fun and Frugal Wedding Ideas

Wedding ideas that I found along the way:


Hang photos of various stages of your courtship and engagement on the pew seats. Share with everyone what lead up to this wonderful moment.

Love this idea for the groomsmens picture.  The T-Shirts could be a part of the groomsmen's gifts too.

Glue fake flowers to the bottom of a tall vase (or to stones you could drop in), fill with water, and top with a floating candle. Gorgeous and you could use any color to fit the room you put it in

Another great idea for a photo.
I made this blog because a photo of my husband and I has gone viral on the internet. I wanted to share the story behind the photo for the hundreds of thousands of people who found inspiration through this sweet moment we had.

The Story Behind the Photo

Moments before I was to walk down the aisle my soon to be mother in law came in the dressing room where my bridesmaids and I were all gushing with giggles and fluttering about finishing last minute details.

“Sweetheart, your groom has called for you!”.

In a nervous tizzy I said, “What?! I’m not ready! I have to get my shoes and…” She had already taken my hand and led me to a corner, where my groom was waiting. I barely sat down; I was filled with so much anticipation! So much excitement! So many nerves!

“Is he going to like my dress? Does my hair look pretty? Can he see me?!” 

Right around the corner sat my soon to be husband, I so was nervous he might see me yet secretly hoping to catch a glimpse of him. In my excited state I was the first to speak,

“Hi sweetie! We’re getting married today!”

“I know baby and I want to pray with you before we do.” 

There we sat around the corner hand in hand, and together we bowed our heads. People were rushing about; the wedding coordinator directing people here and there, the photographers snapping photos and the bridal party enjoying each others company. Yet in that moment, in the quietness of our hearts and minds, my husband and I were alone in the presence of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

My husband prayed that God would bless our marriage, that through thick or thin together we would never lose hope in one another. That instead of focusing on each others imperfections we would always rely on Christ’s perfection. That we would wake up every day and chose to love one another not through our own strength but by the power of Christ’s perfect love.

Have guests write a message to the bride and groom on a little heart.  Mount the hearts in a frame for the couple to have in their home as a keepsake from the wedding.  You could even put a picture of the couple in the center. 
NOW AVAILABLE - Heart Guest Book Frame
Get your guest to sign their name or a small message on each heart then this will sit in your house and every time you see it you think of the best day of your lives and the people who made it special. Email us at littlebirdie@internode.on.net for a quote let us know how many guests you are having and we will suggest a few sizes.

Please note this will be only available for customers living in South Australia no postage.

I love that this couple chose to have empty chairs across from them for guests to stop by and chat a while. It gave them a chance to enjoy their meal while still interacting with guests...http://shar.es/kE9HM

Awesome  idea, right?


Simple Chair Covering- Tull folded over and pinned:less time-consuming than tying bows or knots. also won't get as wrinkled and can re-use for other occasions with different clip! Barrettes could work.
