I've been planning our South Carolina wedding from New York over the past year. At the start of this process, I had been in a few weddings but didn't really know much about planning one. Over the past year I have done so much research & planning & would like to share with others what I have learned.
Our wedding budget was pretty small, $7,000, so I did lots of research and made as many things as I could and bought almost everything on sale in order to save money.
