Our micro wedding under $1k (with price breakdown)
Hi all! I posted a few months back about our small brewery wedding, but I am going through pictures to hang in our home now and thought that it might be helpful to post a more detailed budget breakdown. My husband and I got married in a pumpkin patch in October with 20 of our closest friends and family (plus dogs)! I have included a price breakdown below, but if you have any questions, please let me know!
- Ceremony venue: $200
- Bar tab: $220
- Dress: $80
- Suit and tie: $50
- Flowers: $15
- Accessories: $20
Total Cost: $585
We were able to keep costs low because we went mostly DIY. I made my bouquet and my husband’s boutonnière from flowers I dried from the farmer's market; we made our own playlist and decor; I did my own hair and makeup; I purchased my dress used from a second hand bridal store (it was originally from JJ's House) and I sewed my veil; my mother-in-law took our photos for free with her camera; and although we had an open bar, we did not have catering or a cake. Food trucks were available at the brewery for those who wanted them, but for the most part, people just made use of the open beer tab.
My husband is friends with the owners of the brewery, and we got married on a Wednesday when no one else was really using either the brewery or the pumpkin patch. The pumpkins were conveniently already set up for the fall farmer's market that weekend! These things certainly helped us in keeping the venue cost low.
Please let me know if you have any questions! Happy wedding planning!
