I'm marrying my wonderful fiancé this September.
We've set what we feel is a sensible budget and Life is very hectic (work, DC, volunteering, elderly parents, etc etc) so we have tried to keep things simple and be organised to avoid last minute mad rush.
We are getting married in my parents' local church, then back to a nice barn type venue for food and later on dancing to a live band.
The venue is quite rustic and simple and so we haven't had to do much in way of decoration- there will be flowers on the tables, fairy lights around the beams and that is it.
We have chosen not to have favours, and have had seating plans, menus etc printed on same design of stationary that we used for the invites.
We are happy with our planned day but feel maybe we should personalise it a bit more? I'm not very creative, so don't want to go down the crafting things ourself route, and would like to keep costs down if we can.
I just wonder whether if by cutting out some of the 'frilly' extras we have missed the opportunity to personalise our day?
I saw a lovely idea where old photos of relatives in their wedding days are used around the venue- this won't work for us as our parents have been married multiple times and things are rather complicated . DP and I both hate having our photo taken so we have very few of us together, so again this isn't something that would work for us.
I'd really appreciate any thoughts and ideas please.
