Home Wedding With 1 Week to Prepare!

My friend Sarah gave me only a weeks notice that she was getting married at her new home. 
Then she asked me to be in charge of organizing the food/decor/cake/flowers! 
My budget was $500...for everything. 
It was SO crazy that week but everything turned out beautiful! 
Here's how it came together:


We didn't have a ton of space available for the food, so I included the take home chocolate favors on the food table. Dove chocolates have a special meaning for the bride and groom so I purchased small tulle bags from the Dollar Tree for guests to take home a few of their favorite kinds of Dove chocolates. The food table was a little crowded, but really reflected what the bride and groom wanted.




Cheeseburgers are a special food for the bride and groom, so I purchased cheeseburger sliders in different varieties from Market Street and Chili's. I love for wedding food to reflect the personality of the bride and groom ;).


Wedding cake purchased at Market Street. When you say "wedding cake" to a bakery, the price automatically increases. So we had the bakery stack sheet cakes to create a tiered effect like a traditional wedding cake, but for significantly less cost.


Guests could sign a picture mat with a message for the happy couple. 


The entryway to the couples new home and where they stood to tie the knot!
