17 Cool Brides Managed to Celebrate Their Weddings for Pennies

Many girls have probably imagined their weddings many times. It’s one of the most important days in your life, and you want it to be perfect. Fortunately, in order for things to go the way you want, you don’t always have to spend astronomical sums of money. And some people even manage to prepare everything with their own hands.

We at CHEERY admire such talented people, and today’s compilation is about them.

“We finally did it! Our backyard wedding and the details made it perfect. Arch built by my husband’s aunt”

“I did my own makeup and my dress was $57 at a thrift shop”

“1970s Jessica McClintock by Gunne Sax for $25”

“Instead of hiring a florist, we bought $60 worth of orchids and taped them together for the bouquet. It was my favorite detail of the whole day”

“I made my bouquet today! I’m just excited and wanted to share”

“Finally done with my homemade wedding dress”

“I thrifted a couple synthetic lace cardigans and an old cotton dress and used the appliques from those after dyeing all the fabrics.”

“Wedding table numbers for our garden wedding. Love them! Made 12 in 2 days”

“I used mailbox stickers for numbers.”

“Got my wedding dress for free at a local second hand shop where I sell clothes for credit. It has actual boning, gold bird fabric, and pockets”

“Scored my dream 70’s wedding dress for $24! Fits like a glove and is in pristine condition”

“I made our cake topper! Inspired by the super cute toppers I found but were out of my budget”

“Really proud of my self-made wedding dress for our legal wedding”

“Bought these amazing chandeliers for $20 each at a thrift store. They’re both made out of metal with leaf-like design to them. We used them as decoration in our wedding yesterday”

“Thought you all might enjoy my overboard DIY wedding outfit. I made everything I’m wearing, except shoes and underwear. Dress, bouquet, veil, headpiece, and jewelry. I even grew the sunflowers!”

“Found my wedding shoes, and with a coupon, they were only $49.99”

“Budget centerpieces — books from Facebook marketplace, repurposed jars/vases and supermarket flowers. Maybe ≈ $4 per table in total”

“I made my own wedding dress! With 2 months and a $150 budget, I think I did okay”

“Antique brass candle sticks for my wedding, $30 for all of them”
