Cost-Saving Tips

Favorite: Altar-Cation
Kim collected driftwood to fashion a wedding arbor; when it was too tough to build, Aaron placed them in a semi-circle around an iron stand-in altar they had found.

The Details

String Lights: Bought from Target for the reception
Serving Dishes: Purchased from IKEA and borrowed from work
Cupcakes: Flavors labeled with homemade toothpick flags
