Today’s wedding is a great example of letting a little wedding budget go a long way! And it shows that you don’t need a stash of cash to create a beautiful and memorable wedding day. Being smart with your budget and drawing in talents from your friends and family can really make your wedding day super personal as well as cost effective. Pip and Alex embarked upon a fair few handmade projects for their wedding day and brought in some new wedding traditions that personally I think should be seen more often…….Cake cutting during the ceremony!! Yes please! All the guests doing shots once the bride and groom say I do, great idea! However the thing that really steals the show, is Pip and Alex’s French bull dog, How cute! Big thanks to Barnaby Aldrick for capturing the day for us.
Pip and Alex were married on 27th August 2023 at Crimple in Harrogate. ‘We had a tight budget, so we knew from the outset that traditional wedding venues who charge £5000+ just to rent the space were out of the question for us. This challenged us to think creatively about the type of venue that would work for us. We were so naive at the beginning; thinking a tipi in a field would be a budget-friendly option… only to discover the hire fees, caterers, toilets etc totalled up to match those posh venues we couldn’t afford. It was actually my (Pip’s) grandma, mum & sister who went to Crimple Garden Centre for lunch one day; loved the food and asked “do you do weddings?”: little did we know they had an awesome event space at the back. We had one walkaround; loved the combination of outdoor & indoor space, the food was incredible, the location was perfect & it was within our budget. We were sold! We had 80 day guests and welcomed another 30 in the evening. It took 18 months. Although there were a good 9-12 months in the middle where we did very little. There’s the flurry at the beginning of securing your venue and suppliers and we relaxed after that. We could have done it in 6 months if the industry wasn’t so booked up in advance.’.

Cyprus has everything couples seek in a honeymoon, from luxury resorts offering secluded villas to sun-kissed beaches, diverse landscapes, and luxury spas amidst stunning coastal vistas. Explore ancient ruins and picturesque villages hand in hand, indulge in candlelit dinners showcasing exquisite Mediterranean cuisine, and embark on moonlit strolls along the shores. With its blend of romance, relaxation, and adventure, Cyprus creates unforgettable moments for couples embarking on their journey of love.
Here’s a guide to honeymoons in Cyprus.
The best time to enjoy a honeymoon in Cyprus is spring and autumn, from April to June and September to November. During these seasons, the weather is pleasantly warm, with temperatures ranging from the mid-20s to the low 30s Celsius, ideal for exploring the island’s attractions and relaxing on its beautiful beaches without the intense heat of summer. Additionally, the landscape is lush and green, with blooming wildflowers and olive groves adding to the island’s natural beauty.
Moreover, spring and autumn are less crowded than peak summer months, allowing you to enjoy a more intimate and tranquil experience on your honeymoon. In general, the spring and autumn months provide the perfect time for enjoying a honeymoon in Cyprus, thanks to the favourable weather, fewer crowds, and enchanting scenery, making them the ideal time for a romantic honeymoon in Cyprus.

Today’s wedding has somewhat of a story attached to it…..the wedding that almost didn’t happen! Alexis and Anthony were eventually married on 8th October 2022 at Erin Estate in Ontario, Canada. Their wedding was planned to be in the day, outside with a marquee reception, however because of their dearly loved pet dog Doug going missing, the wedding nearly didn’t happen at all. While they were all getting ready for the big day, they got a phone call to say that Doug had gone missing and at that moment the wedding plans stopped and it was all systems go trying to find Doug. After hours of searching and with the sky getting dark, Doug was at last found, which meant the wedding was back on. A quick change of plans moved the ceremony into the reception area and they were married with Doug right by their side. As they missed their portrait shots prior to the wedding, they had an extra photo shoot with Fedora Media their photographer the following day. What an eventful wedding!

When two hearts decide to beat as one, the wedding bells start ringing – and so does the cash register. The average wedding in the United States costs a little over $28,000, so you can’t say weddings are not a serious investment.
Since finances can be a dividing subject in a marriage, it’s best to start with your right foot forward and open discussions right after the proposal. With emotions running high and Pinterest boards brimming with ideas, it’s all too easy for expenses to spiral.
This is where strategic money management comes into play. In this article, we’ll provide several financial tips designed to help you navigate wedding costs without side-lining your everyday finances or saddling yourselves with debt when the confetti settles.
Before you make decisions about venues or vendors, settle on a budget that’s comfortable for both of you.
Here’s how to get down to brass tacks:
And remember, it’s not always about having more money – you can still have a wonderful wedding even when you’re working with a tiny budget. For example, if a live band feels out of reach financially, maybe find a DJ with rave reviews but better rates. Small adjustments can make all the difference without compromising on quality or enjoyment.
