DIY Bride posted some great advice a few days ago:
Just because you have a $30,000 budget doesn’t mean you must spend $30,000 on a wedding day. There’s absolutely no shame in small- or mid-range budget weddings, no matter what’s being advertised to you. Small budget doesn’t equate tacky or that you’re not “measuring up” in any way. Get those thoughts out of your head right now! Spend only what’s in your financial comfort zone and what you can afford on your own. (How To Recession Proof Your Wedding)
Slightly depressing title, but the post is full of great advice. And it’s a great reminder that reducing is usually a good thing!
