I love when couples let the simplicity of their personalities come through and design a wedding that is absolutely perfect for their own life, their own love.

From Q Weddings…Friends chipped in and helped decorate the tent, the reception and the cocktail...

More invitation cost saving tips from the FABULOUS Mimi Woo of Mika78!
