San Diego Wedding by Flutter Glass Photography

November 3rd. 2010 by Erin | Filed Under | 22 comments

I am so excited to share this next little gem with you. Not only does it involve a ton of creativity and love but it also happens to be a beautiful budget wedding, as in a $5000 budget which is no easy task but this gorgeous couple managed to pull it off to perfection. They rolled up their sleeves, got crafty, and called on the help of friends and family and together this community built one heck of a backyard wedding. From the swoontastic succulents to the perfect picture capturing by Flutter Glass Photography and the rock star style that so embodies this couples lively personalities, we are eating it up. Still hungry? See more of this yummy day in the gallery.

From the gorgeous Bride, Heather…

We really wanted our wedding to have a romantic backyard, garden vibe. It was truly the best day of my life adorned with antiques and twinkle lights. We held the ceremony then went off for pictures at Hosp Grove Loop which is a beautiful hiking trail with tons of eucalyptus trees in Carlsbad. We brought Brandon’s 61 VW which is one of his favorite possessions so it was fun to include this in some of our pictures. We really wanted our pictures to be romantic and timeless and along with our wedding, represent us. For the reception, our backyard was transformed into the perfect wedding location. Mirrors in the trees, lighting everywhere, a popcorn machine and candy bar, cigar humidor, a home made photo booth with pics for our guest book while an old victoral played. The reception was so very romantic. I think whenI got feed back from all of our friends and family, intimate was always a word they used. Along with the ultimate dance party!!! We boogied down!!  I think our wedding was truly put together by all of our friends and family. Without the help from our “power squad” it would have never happened. Seriously, how do you throw a wedding for 123 people with a 5,000  budget? ….with amazing friends and family there to donate time and a hand.

    What's not to love about this? The bouquet, the groom's bow tie (and 'tache), the hanging mirrors... I could go on for hours.

    So apparently this girl and I share the same brain. I have a later version of that dress, was planning on buying the same hair piece, have a 5000 dollar budget, and wanted to hang mason jars in the trees......Glad to know it all works together!

  13. Carlene says:

  14. futuremrsyoung says:

    Fabulous wedding! I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see a wedding on budget that looks so amazing! As a bride on a tight budget I consider your wedding an inspiration. Thanks!

  15. nice wedding and fabulous photos thank you for sharing this

  16. Holly says:

    I love this wedding! But I'm supremely curious...how much of the $5,000 budget was on photography? Looks like she has good photos, but photo estimates I hear of for quality photography run from 2000-5000! Someone educate me.

  17. These two were such an awesome couple! I really enjoyed shooting their wedding.

    @Holly - They booked awhile back and were able to get a lower rate of $1000 for my photography services. My current rate for 6 hours is $1450. So... the moral of the story is book your vendors early!!

  18. RSP says:

    Inspiring decor.....especially on a budget! I especially love mirrors and the tea lights. Did you make them or buy them? I would love to know where you got them or how you made them. Thanks!

  19. Carolyn says:

    Love the Owl cake toppers! My friends call my fiance the Owl (long story) so I'd love to do an Owl cake topper - any idea where they found these?
