Looking for ideas on weddings for a young couple who would like theirs to be different, individual, creative, non church and as inexpensive as possible. The bridal party is small [two brides maids and partners], a celebrant and approx. 50 guests in either spring or autumn. The bride to be would like a 'sit down' meal to ensure the men attending eat as well as drink. They are in the southern suburbs of Perth WA. Many thanks for your thoughts to come.

one thing i did that was a saving was picking my own flowers to take to the florist to make our bouquets. i used the flowers from my own garden as well as a nice neighbour and my school where i teach. it cost me $250 for 4 lovely bouquets.another idea for flowers is to go one you-tube to learn how to make your own out of flowers you buy.
I would go to ebay or a charity shop for the dress, as i'd be a bit wary of the chinese sites. i have heard some people have been disappointed.

i attended a wedding once where people were ask to bring a plate instead of a gift and it was lovely and had a great multi cultural feel.
