So That's How She Did It! The $6000 Wedding
25-year-old Tavon Ferguson planned her dream wedding for just under $6,000. She's the ultimate frugal bride who used the internet, and her network of friends and family to get more for less.
Let's break it down:
- She bought her dress (new with tags) from another local bride for $200. Original price at David's was $600.
- She found her shoes on CutseyGirl.com for $29. However, we've scouted it out, and there are pairs anywhere from $9.99 and up. The Satin Pumps below are $18.99. You can search by colour and size. Look for your bridesmaids at the same time in order to make the 16USD for shipping to Canada worth your while.

INSPIRATION: Online and On the Cheap Wedding Planning
As I mentioned in my first post Stick to Your Decisions , I'm not one of those girls who's been planning her wedding since she was old enough to say "bride". Once the initial excitement of being engaged ever-so-slightly settled, the first task on the list of many forthcoming to-dos was to start collecting inspiration.

CountryBride/City Bride
When Adam and I decided to get married in Toronto, we knew a few eyebrows would raise. While we have the same small town Ontario roots, our lives – and indeed our lifestyle – are now firmly planted in the “big city”. I’ve always known I was a city girl at heart, so there was no question that our wedding should be in the place we now call home. Well, that and the thought of celebrating our marriage in an arena that also hosts square dances, weekend hockey tournaments and fall fairs did little to conjure visions of a wedding wonderland.
With the prospect of hosting so many out-of-town guests, we've made it our matrimonial mission to create a wedding that appealed as much to our urban sensibilities as our rural roots and the people that nourish them.

Bride-to-Be: Choosing A Wedding Date
As a kid, my countdown to Christmas always relied on an advent calendar. I guess you can call me a chocoholic, but I can’t think of a better way to start the day!
On December 23, 2008 my advent calendar had a little more than chocolate inside. Before heading out of town to spend the holidays with family, my now fiancé proposed to me by replacing a chocolate in the advent calendar with a ring. Needless to say, I was ecstatic!
After saying yes (obviously) the only other question I had was...What happened to that chocolate?
