    My daughter is getting married in August and just told us. I need help for the center pieces. I love the test tube Idea since I am a Phlebotomist and she is going to be a teacher. What a great Idea. Do you have anymore please feel free to throw them my way. We have very little money. We truly have very little but I still want pretty. Please help me. We have even tried to win weddings. Of course who does that happen to. Not us. She is an amazing young women. She goes to college full time, coaches middle school basketball, and helps kids on weekends or night to learn how to shoot or dribble what ever they need to become a more confident player. She also works and takes care of her soon to be husband. Va’lyndi is one of the strongest people I know. I just want to throw her a nice wedding. So any ideas would be much appriciated.
    Sincerly, Kim Hurd

    Hi Kim,

    Thank you so much for stopping by the blog! Congratulations on your daughter’s engagement :) .

    With today’s economy, I can completely understand your concerns with money. And weddings are definitely costly. Luckily, there are quite a few resources for budget conscious brides, and good giveaways too. I made a guide to help budget brides that can you started: http://www.loveolio.com/swoon/budget-bride-guide/.

    Don’t forget to keep an eye out on groupon, livingsocial, and googledeals for great deals! I’ve seen good ones for photography, invitations, and catering.

    Good luck!

    Ann
