Dollar Store Weddings:

Yes, you can have a dollar store wedding that doesn't look cheap or tacky. The wedding industry wants you to think you have to spend $30,000 on your wedding (or $10,000). This is a lie! You can have the wedding  of your dreams, even on a shoestring budget. The Dollar Store wedding planner knows that with a little planning and some shopping around, she can have a wedding that looks expensive but won't break the bank. You won't get everything at the dollar store, of course, but you can save a lot of money by using dollar store supplies, and being smart! I've collected our best dollar store wedding planning tips here!
