44 Jaw Dropping Weddings That Cost Under £5000

August 31, 2014

44 budget weddings under 5000 alternative weddings

I am passionate about proving that when it comes to your wedding, its not what you spend, its how you spend it! Shhh don’t tell anyone, but the nuptials I feature with minuscule amounts of money in the pot are always secretly my favourites too.

That’s not to say that bigger budget weddings are in any way inferior, it’s just that I’m always so impressed with what people are able to achieve with a a lower than average amount of cash to spend, but a higher than average knack for getting creative!

Whatever amount of money you’re splashing on your own big day, I  just know you’re going to enjoy looking through this inspiring bunch.
