Weddings are expensive, but they don’t have to be! Spend your money on the things that truly matter to you and your fiancé and let the rest go. Cutting out elements that don’t mean much to you, however traditional or expected, will save you a ton. Once you’ve decided on your most important elements and it is time to spend some serious money, do it wisely! Listen as we cover a variety of ways to plan a beautiful and meaningful wedding, without going broke.

Nice can artwork!
For the engagement ring I selected for my wife, I knew she was into opals. Which was fantastic because they’re much less pricey than diamonds and much more pretty. I had a custom opal ring made on etsy for about $500, and she loved it.
