‘Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate!’

bride-to-be

Bride & Groom: Eric & Erin

Wedding Date: September 4, 2011

Location: Orlando, FL

Budget: $8,000

Best Savings: DIY centerpieces and flower arranging

Best Splurge: Exclusive reception with close friends and family - special time spent with our loved ones is worth every dollar.

Tips: Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate! And use the talent your friends have to offer. I have negotiated with friends to earn photography and custom designed invitations.

Have advice for Erin? We’d love to hear from you in the comments below.
