BACKYARD WEDDING DIY! Hobby Lobby & Dollar Tree 💒👰🏻👦🏻

[@ashleyrobinson6780]

I am no longer in touch with my parents four months before my wedding, so my fiancé and I are trying to pull together our wedding ourselves on a tight budget. I love videos like this because they look so beautiful and sentimental, while staying on the budget that works for the couple. Congratulations! I can’t wait to be married soon ❤️

Reconcile with your parents.

Pretty!! We had a backyard wedding on 11/21. It was gorgeous. It was 12 guests - or 6 couples. We set up 6 2-top tables (to be as covid friendly as possible). We used our patio furniture, and we brought out some of our furniture from inside outside - we got creative with tables and we used bedside tables, our daughters play table which converts into just a plain-ol table, tailgating equipment - etc and we borrowed a couple of things from family and neighbors (free). We dressed them up with tablecloths that were inherited and borrowed (free), flowers from Kroger (6 bunches at $4 each and 4 bunches at $8 each = $56) and divided them up into glass jars we had saved and cleaned and vases we already had (free). We hung white lights up in our trees (400 lights from Target for $28). We used our tailgating pop up canopy and hung sheer curtains around it to dress it up and make it look more elegant and create a pretty sitting area (6 curtains at $5 each from Target $30). We used china and silverware that I inherited (free. -- but remember that almost any antique or resale shop will have china and silverware for very little money. You could go buy that and just re-donate it when you are done if you don't want to keep it. I think that would be easier and probably cheaper than renting or buying new and it's probably what I would have done if I did not already have something to use). We cleaned up our backyard and house real well ourselves (free), we sprayed our backyard for bugs and mosquitos (2 bottles at $9 each so $18). Because it was fall, I bought a bunch of yellow and red mums at Home Depot (5 at $8 each) and I bought some stones, 6 pots, potting soil and 6 caladiums to place around our AC unit to cover it up/hide it some. It turned out really pretty actually (I spent $120 on this). I used the stones to create a bit of a wall around the ac and then set the potted plants on top of the wall. My tip is to remember to turn up or off your AC during the ceremony so its not loud in the background. We live in Houston and it was a good upper 70s, lower 80s on our big day. I spent $18 at Michaels for 2 lanterns which were on mega sale. Our officiant charged $200, our photographer charged $220 for 1 hour (found through mutual friends. There are a lot of amature photographers out there that don't charge a fortune), we ordered a one tier, 4 layer wedding cake that was big enough for 14 people for $90. It was delicious and gorgeous and made a statement. My dad picked it up for us (free) and he was happy to pitch in so that was a win win. We set it on a beautiful cake plate that we actually borrowed from my mom (free). We catered from a local restaurant for 12 people - beef and chicken kabobs, roasted veggies, rice, beans, salad and pita bread and that cost $227 - which included delivery and 20% tip. We had it delivered 30 minutes before the start time and stuck it in the oven on warm - it was perfectly warm and ready to go once we were all ready to eat. We set up a help-yourself-bar outside made from an antique sewing table I already had (free) and provided basic liquors and mixers and sodas ($150), 3 types of beer ($60), 4 types of wine ($60), and we decided not to buy bottled water and instead provide filtered water from the fridge in glass pitchers I already had. My mom did a great job at keeping these refilled. We did dress this up by adding some sliced citrus and ice to the pitchers and it actually looked really elegant ($6 for citrus and $10 of ice). We decided to use the clear plastic glasses instead of real glass ($10). We also used plant pots and to put the drinks in instead of coolers which looked gorgeous ($35 worth of pots which I can reuse for plants). I actually scored my dress at an estate sale for $10 and I got it dry cleaned for $25. I did my own hair and makeup (free). My husband had to buy new pants and he got a nice looking pair ($30) and he paired that with a button down and jacket and dress shoes he already had. He looked like a stud! Our daughter wore a hand me down dress (free). We spent $72 on the marriage license (don't forget that!). We streamed free music to a cheap wireless blue tooth speaker we already had / can get basically anywhere at all different price points. I will probably get a wedding book made for us online - maybe $100. All in all y'all, you can have a perfectly gorgeous, fully stocked, memorable wedding in your backyard for $1500 to $2000 - easily. We also had about 10 people attend by zoom. Love and best wishes!

What did you do for food?

[@Hankandrex]

[@Odo-so8pj]

Best micro wedding yet! I paid 220 and decked out a two floor venue! Well done girl!

[@TheFigHome]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@elodia6686]

This is sooo beautiful! I prefer this kind of wedding to grand, expensive ones 😍

[@Sebastian_on_the_spectrum]

This looks so beautiful! I’m newly engaged and I’m so excited but stressed because covid but seeing this makes me feel more comfortable knowing that it’s possible To do without having to do so much. And in a small way. Super beautiful ❤️😍

[@TheFigHome]

Thank You & Congrats! 😊

[@leticiavarga1009]

I just cant stop watching this over and or. This is pure, simple, love, just oh so much love.

[@millaonthemove]

I love how simple and realistic your decor ideas are! Beautiful wedding for sure!! I will take inspo for my own. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@kikabrenda]

So cute. Love how it turned out. I've been breaking my head looking at venues. Thinking about those big drapes. The cost is just over 10k. I don't really want to spend that much. I have a background drop and I think I'm going to do something like this. More intimate. Was thinking of 50 guests, since there's always a minimum at venues but do I really know 50 people? No. Thank you. Now I'm opting for a smaller more intimate wedding with just immediate family. I'll save that money I didn't want to spend and use it on a trip or something else. Especially with this economy and prices. Did you make your own food or cater. That is my other question. Thank you for sharing. ❤️

[@lolitalolita7561]

That flower market is amazing! I love going there! I’ve seen some beautiful over the top arrangements. I bring buckets with me and water to bring my flowers home. Awesome ideas, I love how nice everything looks together. Thanks for the video.
