Oh, another note, abaya: if you want flowers, go to your area Costco in Seattle and ask for the floral manager. They do bulk orders. Of course, you can only order what's in season, but the discounts are huge comparatively, and unlike most florists, they don't automatically tack on $100 just because they're wedding flowers.
For my wedding next summer, I'm getting the invitations, bridal accessories, and extra flowers from Costco, not that I'll need much. The ceremony is going to be in a local park in their rose garden, and I'm planning to have the reception at my in-laws' place here in town--they have 5 acres, a good portion of which is developed into lawn and gardens. They also have a pool, a giant deck, and a trampoline for the kiddies (and there are a lot of kiddies on my boyfriend's side). Though we're going to have 80 or so guests, my goal is to keep it a casual, laid-back, summer wedding.
