North Carolina Thrift Savvy Wedding
North Carolina Thrift Savvy Wedding

Alright all you thrifty readers, our next bride is a girl after your own heart. She is a self proclaimed thrift shopping junkie and by that was able to supremely cut the costs of her big day! Your jaw will drop when you hear that her designer dress was 75 percent off, and she picked and dried all the flowers for her bouquet and centerpieces. And there are plenty more money saving ideas that this bride is wanting to share with you. So we just have one question for you... Are you ready to save?!
Looking to squeeze all you can out of this thrift savvy wedding? Don't forget that we have a full gallery attached to all of our weddings. They are your back stage pass to any wedding you fall in love with, and this wedding has some great details captured by Josh Deaton Photography that you are sure to love.
From the Bride:
I'm a huge thrift shopper, so we used that mentality as much as we could! My dress, I bought for $420! It was a sample designer gown I found at a bridal shop in NYC called The Bridal Garden. It is the only not-for-profit bridal boutique in New York City, with donated designer wedding gowns discounted up to 75% off the original retail price. My husbands suit we bought for $55 from Macy's. It was left over from the previous season!
From Josh Deaton Photography:
This was a gorgeous lake side garden themed wedding. The ceremony was held under a tree by the lake on the grooms parents property. The couple made all of the details themselves!
From the Bride:
As Josh mentioned above, all of the flowers were free, I'm proud of that accomplishment! We had a completely different plan for flowers, and decided 2-3 days before the wedding to throw that out the window and use what we had. The hydrangeas turned out classic and beautiful.
With the last name of Barr who can resist the adorable pun when labeling the cocktail table? This crafty couple made the burlap "Barr" banner here and on the 'Gifts n' Tips' table. After plenty of dancing the night wrapped up with a lantern release and fireworks. What fun!
