We did our wedding on the cheap. We were both utterly broke students who got a little money given to us from both sides of the family. My dress was £100 from BHS and a friend who was training to be a dressmaker altered it. I told my bridesmaids to choose a dress each they liked and would wear again and as long as it vaguely fitted my colour scheme idea I was ok with that (I had one very tall thin bridesmaid, one very petit one, one pregnant one and one child) and I paid for their dresses once they told me what they wanted. I printed and made our own invites. I approached a local restaurant we knew and loved and had been to many times (and we still do) and they did me a really good deal for a wedding lunch with wine for our guests and my dad provided champagne and there was a pay for your own bar. The flowers and cake were professional but simple. The whole lot cost us £3000. That was twenty years ago, mind. That blog post makes her sound selfish and childish and not very nice at all. I think if someone is happy with their wedding day then that’s the most important thing so if she was happy and the guests enjoyed it then that’s what matters but she makes it sound awful.Her wedding looks like a child planned it. Everything looks cheap and awful and centred around food (obvs). She cheapened out on a photographer looking at the photos or the photographer gave up because there was nothing they could do to make Emma look good.
Edit. I looked at the photographer's portfolio. Lovely portfolio, they clearly didn't know what to do with Emma haha
