Do I have a bright, bold and beyond fun wedding in store today! And all for under $8,000! A bride, Amanda, sent over her wedding for us all to gawk at today. I absolutely love this fun couple and this wedding looked absolutely amazing. The venue, only $1,800, is so fun for a summer-time affair. Check out all Amanda has to say about her big day, and more on the budget breakdown on her blog. Photography courtesy of Manifique Photography.

I gotta give them major props on this budget breakdown. I can't believe some of the deals and discounts they possibly found to pull off this whole event. So if you thought a totally awesome wedding on a budget wasn't possible, well here is proof!
