This stylish bride with an eye for design had this stunning 220-guest wedding in Colorado for well under $30,000. How did she have such a large and beautiful wedding without breaking the bank? She kept her priorities straight. Her number one priority was gorgeous photography. And she couldn’t go wrong with the amazingly talented Colorado Wedding photographerLaura Murray and the exquisite Bare Root Flora on her team. Her biggest expense was the reception, which came in at $10,000 for 220 guests! Not Bad! For the rest, she relied on her own design skills and DIY chutzpah to pull off a gorgeous wedding for the ages!
