What is the cheapest way to plan a wedding?

you can definetly have a cheap wedding. No problem. But makin it a great wedding, depends on various things. * do you have family members who can cook well ( & have time to?) * what sort of dress you would like. ( I would prefer something simple but very elagant, nothing too drastic, even if you had all the money in the world) * Where is the location? ( now that its getting colder, outdoor weddings are kind of iffy, but in a small church, relatives, beautiful home, anything like that. * decorations You'd be surpised out how cheap you can find decorations. Be sure to spend a big chunk of your budget to flower arrangements, that's the biggest part. little cheap stores have tall white candles, or craft stores, depending on the colors of the flowers, you can buy imbrordery, ribbons, beads etc. to decorate them with a hot glue gun. If your really TIGHT on budget. Husband can always rent a tux.
