Congrats on your wedding
We got away with spending very little on our wedding. However, we did have a friend who made my wedding dress as our wedding present! BUT... my SIL only paid $500 for hers as she went to a clearance Bridal store where they just get rid of the old stock. There was nothing wrong with it at all. We cut our guests back to a bare minimum (not sure if that is something you can do/want to do?!?) and we also had our wedding on a Friday night which is MUCH cheaper than a Saturday. I found a florist that works from home... her prices were great as she doesn't have all the overheads like a normal business and we did the same with the photographer. As someone else said above... see what your family and willng to do or if they have a friend who likes to takes photos as a hobby etc. We only provided beer and wine at our wedding and if people wanted spirits they paid. In regard to music you can go to a local uni and see if there are any music students who would like to play (they don't charge anywhere near as much as more experienced bands.
Ummm... that is all I can think of for now but good luck with everything! You will have an amazing day!
