DIY Weddings

Looking for ideas on weddings for a young couple who would like theirs to be different, individual, creative, non church and as inexpensive as possible. The bridal party is small [two brides maids and partners], a celebrant and approx. 50 guests in either spring or autumn. The bride to be would like a 'sit down' meal to ensure the men attending eat as well as drink. They are in the southern suburbs of Perth WA. Many thanks for your thoughts to come.

we decided to get married 26yrs ago and within 3wks it was done. I was lucky as my mum could sew, so there was my dress & my bridesmaids and she made the cake (with a bit of help from me decorating it). We had a marque in my husbands parents back yard and the local BBQ Spit did the food. We splurged on a stretch limo out to the church & back ( as it was in Sydney and we got married near the water). All our Friends took photos and they all said it was one of the best weddings they'd ever been to. The marque made it very intimate. All up cost about $2000. And we only invited people who mean something to us. Good luck & enjoy the day, as it goes very fast.
