Humble Beginnings

Well here I am…attempting my very first blog! Ever since I became engaged, I have been a devote follower of numerous wedding blogs (hit me up if you wanna know some good ones!) and have been inspired to create my own! While I am quite excited for my new venture, I am perfectly aware that the likelihood of someone besides myself (and the occasional bridesmaid I sucker into reading it ha!) actually following this blog is highly unlikely. But if you are stumbling upon this, welcome! 

I am sure you are asking, why is this titled The Wannabe Wedding? I know, I know, it has a sort of negative connotation associated with it. But if you know me, it makes perfect sense.  Many people consider me crafty or creative.  I simply consider myself a master of copying people. While I do have a creative imagination, I hardly, if ever, come up with the grand ideas on my own.  I rely on the internet, my mother, my sisters, and the people I surround myself to gather ideas and make them my own.

So back to the wedding…

We are having this wedding on a budget.  And when I say budget, I mean budget.  On most of my wedding blogs, if you are having a beautiful wedding on a “budget” you are not spending less than $10,000.  We are planning on spending half that.  So I am out to prove people wrong. That yes, one can have a beautiful, blog-worthy wedding for $5,000.  How is that possible? It’s all about copying people’s wedding ideas with a budget-friendly DIY twist. And hopefully at the end of all this, we can create a wannabe wedding that people believe to be the real thing.  

How many of you out there are also trying to create a unique wedding on a small budget?
