Frugal Wedding Links
We try to keep up-to-date on our links but, the internet being an everchanging place, sometimes we get behind! Let us know if you find a link here that doesn't work.
Links to every wedding craft you can imagine from veils & headpieces to invitations to favors to ring bearer pillows. This is a great site!
Interesting site with a countdown calendar, budgeter and wedding dress finder. A word of warning about the budgeter...when I entered my budget and number of guests it spent a lot of time telling me what I didn't have enough money for at my wedding :-)
Lots of ideas and a free newsletter you can subscribe to
This is the website of Alan & Denise Fields, the authors of "Bridal Bargains" (a book I highly recommend). It has a great mailbag section with letters from real brides telling how they saved money and warning about bad vendors.

Chef Mike was a caterer for years and has written a book about preparing the food for your wedding.
