This year we brought 60-something people with as we hosted a wedding for our nephew in a meadow, just a minutes walk from the cabin outside of Bridgeport, California. Beautiful wedding, but not a lot of money was spent by the bride and groom. You could even call it green when you consider how little was consumed. Here’s how the wedding went .... Wedding Flowers: Handpicked wildflower bouquets of pine, aspen, goldenrod, thistle (a Scottish tradition) and aster: Free Clothing: Bride’s dress $500, groom’s kilt (<a href="http://stores.homestead.com/TheTartanPatchInc/StoreFront.bok" title="the McNatt family tartan">the McNatt family tartan</a>) $500., children’s clothing $200. <img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/uploads/cheapwedding67.jpg" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="200" height="189" /> Wedding Invitations and Guestbook: Artsy friend <a href="http://custombyamy.com/section/10531.html" title="Amy Hay">Amy Hay</a>: Gift <img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/uploads/cheapwedding76.jpg" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="200" height="199" /> Wedding Photographers: Free <img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/uploads/cheapwedding4.jpg" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="200" height="191" /> Wedding Minister: Favorite friend ordained at the Universal Life Church Monastery at t<a href="http://www.themonastery.org/" title="hemonastery.org">hemonastery.org</a>: Free <img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/uploads/cheapwedding71.jpg" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="200" height="150" /> Seating: Tree stumps (with cutting permit): Free <img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/uploads/cheapwedding19.jpg" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="124" height="200" /> Wedding Venue: Mountain meadow with spectacular backdrop: Free <img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/uploads/cheapwedding37.jpg" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="137" height="200" /> Music: Musically-inclined friends: Free <img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/uploads/cheapwedding2.jpg" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="200" height="150" /> Cupcake Table: 60 white on white cupcakes from Costco, cake plates (inverted cups and dinner plates), pine cones and goldenrod tabletop decorations: $68. <img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/uploads/cheapwedding39.jpg" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="200" height="189" /> Reception: Handbuilt hors D’oeuvres table, paper products, beer, champagne, wine: $400 <img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/uploads/cheapwedding3.jpg" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="193" height="200" /> The happy couple: Shaun and Leah McNatt: Priceless </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td><a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/coupon_spot.jpg" alt="Visit dirtdujour.com" width="225" height="147" border="0" /></a></td> <td style="padding-left: 15px;"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/email_sponsored.jpg" alt="Sponsored" width="219" height="58" /> <h3>Digging for weekly deals:</h3> Just what we need at this time of year: a rubber boot tray 40% off at Ballard Designs.
