Let’s be real. Most “budget wedding” advice you find online isn’t really budget advice. It’s “my aunt is a florist” advice. It’s “my best friend is a graphic designer and gifted us our invites” advice. It’s “we got married on my parents’ estate” advice. But what if you don’t have any of that?Read more...

With a theme of red string, and a nod to Corpse Bride, Anna and Dani's day felt more like a gathering of artists, misfits and rebels than a wedding. Anna told us, "We spoke about getting married for the first time while we were in Morocco last year. As we were finishing, we were playing with the red wires holding the bags of flatbreads together, bent them into rings, and went on to wear them for weeks until they broke. They would be replaced with red string, and later, red line tattoos. We later found out about the red string of fate story which says you have a string running from your heart, out of your finger, connecting you to your soulmate."Read more...
