Hi everyone,
So my Friend of 9 years, is now going to be my sister in law. she is marrying my brother in law...so excited. However......my in laws are "hardcore" italians. my friend (and myself) are Canadian heritage,...I know when I got married I had some tirals dealing with the big wedding thing....I had only eveer dreamed of an 80 person wedding.....well my friend, she never dreamed of a wedding at all, and at most wanted 10 people there, she does not like to be the centre of attention. But she is having a big wedding to please her groom. what I am trying to do is make her excited about it. I feel horrible that she isn't having any fun planning her wedding and I am trying to help. They also have next to no money for anything other than the venue and dinner....so I am trying to DIY everything for her...I am doing her hair, her make up, I am altering her dress for her, I am making additions to her wedding shoes, I am making paper music flowers for the wedding....AHHHHHHHH!!! I am one busy bridesmaid.....does anyone know 1...how to make a huge wedding seem intimate on a dime budget? and 2- does anyone know of any kind of bride swap meet or anything like that where we could get free wedding decor from...I am craft and can change almost anything. please help if you can
