Wedding On A Budget!
/Hey beautiful people!
In the spirit of love, I’m back with some more wedding talk. I’m still not over the fact that we got married! I got a few questions about our elopemeent in my Instagram DMs (which I love talking to people there), and I wanted to share.

How Much Money Did We Spend Eloping
If you are new to my site, I shared a full story about our wedding and went into pretty good details about everything except the cost. A big reason I wanted to elope, was because I knew the cost was going to be more than we wanted to spend. We are currently in a stage of our lives where we really want to use our money for other things. I love weddings and think they are so beautiful, so if you’re someone who spent/is planning to spend good money on a wedding I am not mad at you. Spend YOUR money how you want to!
Our wedding was very reasonable. Check out our breakdown and how much we spent at the end!
Yvette’s Dress - $400
Yvette’s Shoes - $250
Bouquet - $45
Veil - $13
Earrings - borrowed from a friend
Hair/Makeup - I did it myself
Nails - $75
Rodney’s Tux - $500
Rodney’s Shoes - already had them
Hotel Room - $250

Venue - FREE!
Total = $1,933
We really enjoyed our wedding day. We didn’t invite any guest because we really wanted to focus on us. Even though the courthouse does allow a certain amount of people to attend, we felt like this was something that was for us. I loved how intimate it was and how we were able to enjoy each other’s company without any outside opinion. It was beautiful! I recommend having a small intimate wedding any day!
