You may even have the ability to sew and can put together something nice for your wedding day.
Decorations for the wedding can be found in thrift stores very easily. Yes, this depends on what you are planning but, you can also compromise.

Being economical is not a horrible idea, and can still give you many memories to cherish. You and your mate will be the judges of how fantastic your union will be.
