Kelly & Andy’s Radiant Yellow Wedding – Great Ideas For a Budget Friendly Summer Event

Sniffle and swoon! Kelly and Andy’s picture perfect yellow wedding got my emotions in a right old whirl.

Held at a historic house in a gorgeous countryside setting, this summer wedding has the whole fairytale thing going on. However, you can easily get the look for less. I’m serious. Take a look at Kelly and Andy’s rustic wedding decor and you’ll soon see what I mean.

If you’re a budget savvy bride in search of the dream day, don’t despair. You can have the princess effect without spending a king’s ransom.

Choose your setting carefully, get creative with decor and select a kick-ass color scheme. Kelly and Andy did and the results were mind-blowingly beautiful.

You’ve got to respect the way they went full blast with yellow. Notice how there was more than one shade of yellow used throughout? Using slightly different hues of the same color looks amazing and works wonders for your stress levels!

Loving the wildflower bouquets. If you want the look but need to keep costs down, pick your own wedding flowers. Get on the net and find your nearest eco florist or farm. They create gorgeous hand-tied bouquets at a fraction of the cost of traditional bridal blooms.

Cute flower girl alert! White with a yellow sash was exactly the right color choice for this little lady.  Check the page boy with the yellow bow tie too. The adults all looked awesome. The combination of blue groomsmen and yellow bridesmaids worked beautifully with the style and tone of this outdoor wedding.

It’s not often you see a color combo that’s both traffic stopping and super pretty.

Kelly cleverly chose wedding accessories that suited her style and the natural setting. You don’t necessarily need expensive statement jewelry to look a million dollars. Kelly’s  floral fasincator and those simple, slightly sparkly earrings caught the sunlight and gave her a radiant look.

Ok, so here’s how you get gorgeous wedding decor without blowing the budget. It’s so simple you’ll smack your head with the  palm of your hand.

Don’t go overboard with flowers or table arrangements. Let the setting and Mother Nature do the hard work for you! The beauty of an outdoor wedding is that  you don’t have to embellish. Some things are best kept simple.

See how Kelly and Andy went with the rustic look for their wedding ceremony arch?

Lanterns and glass jars complimented the surroundings perfectly. Save your old jam jars and pick up a couple of lanterns and tea lights. Use wedding flowers sparingly and in key locations. You avoid the matchy-matchy effect and save oodles of cash.

Use these Outdoor Wedding Ideas and get the fairytale effect without the stress.

Sweet treats taste amazing and double up as funky table decor. This couple gave a nod to tradition with a classic wedding cake and served ice cream cones with irresistible toppings. Hardly surprising to see  mini Oreo cookies are the hot favorite!

They really went for it with the evening entertainment. Well played! Loving the hat and feather boa. The photo booth is pure genius and has bags of retro appeal. Pick up a Polaroid camera or dust off your dad’s old one if you want a similar effect.

Live music and outdoor weddings go together like shortstack pancakes and maple syrup. If you want to get guests up on the dancefloor, a band will fit the bill.

On a final note…

Make your big day go off with a bang. It doesn’t have to be a huge fireworks display that would put Disneyland to shame. Give your guests sparklers and make a grand exit.
