Hey there! I’m Brynne. In July of 2018, my best friend in the world asked me to become his wife. Less than an hour after I said yes, I found myself sitting on the floor of my grandparent’s living room with all the women in my family scrolling through Pinterest, picking colors, looking at gowns and making lists.
Within a few days I went from engagement bliss to full out panic. There were SO many decisions to make and everything came with a larger than expected price tag. I still had a year of graduate school to finish, and my fiancé was on the hunt for his first career job. I knew I didn’t want us, or our families going into debt for our wedding. But I didn’t want to sacrifice the day I had always imagined either.
So we had to get creative. Lots of time, tears and Hobby Lobby coupons later, I married my best friend on a beautiful September Friday, and spent just a little over $5,000 for my dream wedding.
I know what you’re probably thinking. “Yeah, right. $5,000? No way.” Let me tell ya, it wasn’t easy. But that’s why I’m here today. I’m a firm believer that everyone should have their dream wedding.
So that’s what I’m setting out to do! Share with you all of my tips, tricks and advice and (hopefully), help you plan the big day you have been envisioning since you got engaged. (Or if you are anything like me, long before the ring was even purchased 🤪)
