Alright. so i thought throwing a wedding bohemian style would be easy. its actually moroccan for our honeymoon and bohemian for our lifesyle/my dress style. i set up the tables and place settings as moroccan and the decorations should be bohemina but when it comes to finding ideas i have non for the decorations. not only that but finding cheap things to go the way i want for the decor doesnt quite work the way you said. dollar stores do not carry bohemian style, earth friendly products. especially ones matching our color scheme. i wont change our wedding to suite some store-and it is a tiny town-but i am not spending over 100 dollars on decor and that is the most i will go with it. heck i’m going to sew my own wedding dress so it looks how i want. and me and my husband are making the food ourselves. he is digging out the backyard stone path and we are redoing our little arch to our secret garden. everything will be self done and cheap. i am thinking maybe grow my own flowers. that way our wedding should cost the bridesmaid dresses, the cost to sew my dress, groceries a photographer and an officiant-maybe the cost of seeds and alchol. my biggest tip for anyone is that you plan your own wedding because as you are doing it you will realize things you can do to skim down the cost whereas someone else will not see it through your eyes and a pro. will probably not tell you the cheapest ways to do things. expensive does not mean better it just means you pay more. remember that.i like the wine bottle idea, we are doing recycled water bottles with fresh mtn. spring water and organic juices as favors and decor.
