Sometimes you have to make lemonade out of lemons… and sometimes that lemonade blows your mind! Check out this gorgeous budget-friendly wedding. Stevie & Blake found themselves in a predicament, planning their wedding AND finding a cottage to call home.
They were already in contract with their venue and had to make tough decisions, which lead to them halving their wedding budget so they could buy their cottage. Willing to invest in their family and friends for LOTS of DIY, they stretched their budget far!
Fun Fact: You might recognize our Bride Stevie Scott from her Season 5 participation on American Idol in the Top 24!
