feeling a little overwhelmed...
Due to news of DF's February deployment, we're now getting married in December instead of July, and I'm going crazy! We're trying to still have a nice wedding, on a tight budget now, since we thought we had 6 extra months to pay for it (plus tax returns). Anyone have any tips on how to save money when the wedding is so close? We have all the important things, a place for the wedding and reception, my dress and pretty much all the clothing for the wedding party, so its just stuff like flowers and decorations and food, and I'm feeling like I'm not going to be able to squeeze it all into our budget >.<

Do you have a costco near you? If so order flowers from then and do threm your own that's saving us a bunch. Can you get family to help you make food?

Check your local grocery store if they have a flower section, most of the time the florist there does an amazing job and can help you out with stuff like this. See if friends, family, or friends of family & friends know people in the area's you need stuff that could help get you a discount or some special deals

PP stated some good alternatives. For your pics/vid try to find new people getting started in the industry. They typically will work for free. Ask friends not in the bridal party that have certain talents you've seen to help you as well, utilize all resources.
