You have no idea how helpful this was for me. I’m working in a $1500 budget for everything and I was starting to get discouraged until I found this video. Thank you 🙏🏻
Pulling off a wedding in three weeks that looks this amazing can only be the work of my friend, Nikki. I just LOVE the colors and how it came together!! Congrats again to your son and daughter in law! 💛💛
It would be wonderful to have Nikki as a mother-in-law. She helped plan and secure everything. God bless you for the love and kindness Nikki. Nothing outlasts you except the memories of love and kindness.
+Joce P CONGRATULATIONS! That is wonderful! I love the size of your guest list! PERFECT! I like how you think! I wish you so much success on your wedding and enjoy your beautiful, special day. Hugs and Love Nik
I saved this video YEARS ago and now I’m engaged during COVID. I won’t be having a big wedding as all our family is around the world so it will be a small event. This video! I can’t believe it’s all in here. Thank you!!
Beautiful results! Our wedding (14 years ago) was also on a budget, & like you, Michaels & their coupons were our friends. We also used silk flowers & LOTS of tulle, & it turned out beautifully. No reason why you can't have a beautiful wedding on a budget!
Beautiful story! It’s so wonderful when a community comes together to help each other out like that. Hats off to you for all your efforts. You can tell you love your family. Also, all the people you help so generously on your channel. Much love!
This is a " STAPLE " WEDDING ON A BUDGET video! My daughter will be getting married this fall season coming up. And this is definitely something that I am excited to help her put together! So many beautiful ideas! Thank you for always making these beautiful projects!
My dear baby sister got married a few weeks ago and I just wanted to let you know that this video was a life saver for me! She realised she needed a director, like 8 weeks before, and asked me to be that person on her big day! I loved it! And it freaked me out! :) first thing I did was creating a to do list, a check list, a time line for the day. And this video helped me a lot, I could put some to check and to do things on my list after I watched this video. They had a tight budget but I had plenty of room to master my DIY skills! You must know, Im all about planners and structure in my life. I have a feeling that came in handy for this job! Thanks Nikki, you did a great job on their wedding and helped me a lot with this one! Take care, Rosalinde And all the best for your newlyweds, bless them!
You are SUPERWOMAN! Congratulations to your son and daughter-in-law. What a beautiful set up and a beautiful job all your friends and family did. I loved everything Nikki!
+Marriage & Motherhood Awe! Thank you so much! You know I really am not a wedding planner type so this was a bit out of my comfort zone but I always love a good challenge..LOL! I hope all is great your way! Hugs and Love Nik
Your son and daughter in law are so lucky to have you to plan and decorate their wedding for them. I don't have such luxury plus I am on a budget (so hiring someone is out of the question) and I want things a particular way. It's less than 5 months till my wedding and some days I don't feel like having to do any wedding planning or even thing about it but I know it will bite me in the behind if I leave everything to the last minute. Don't get me wrong... I love planning but its just overwhelming.
I am going to share this with my brother and his fiancée. This looks absolutely beautiful and I agree with you, no need to break the bank to have a nice day. I love that you felt like sharing this with us. Thanks.
First, congratulations to you, your son and his new bride...what a joyous celebration! Nikki, you did a fabulous job! Everything looks absolutely beautiful! I know that your son is so blessed to have a talented and creative mother especially when a wedding is needed to be planned and carried out in 30 days...😄 I am about to host my baby sister's bridal shower and I may need to contact you for some ideas...SERIOUSLY! I have learned to stay in my lane of being an interior designer and leave the all the wedding ideas to professionals such as yourself. Thanks for sharing Nikki!!
I loved it!!! Thank you, I feel better already. My niece wanted me to be her planner even though I had NO experience except planing my own wedding 30 years ago. You've taken all the anxiety out of it. We have exactly 3 weeks, we'll write again when this comes together seamlessly because of all your advice and expertise. More soon and again thank you so much.
+AtHomeWithNikki This was just great! I just got engaged & my goal is to get married August 2017. But we are definitely on a budget and I would like to find inexpensive alrernatives & I don't really someone who is creative, organized, & thoughtful as you seem I would love your help (literally). I see you have an email for inquires. Please let me know if its okay to send you an email ☺
I love the fact that all of you family and friends came together to make their wedding day special. That's what life is about. I wish I had this in my life. 😢 I love all the ideas and everything...it warms my heart! 💞
+Liza María Thank you so much Liza! It was definitely a team effort. Such a blessing to have everyone come together for such a special time. So glad you liked and hope you are having a great day so far. Hugs and Love Nik
I already knew you were amazing, but WOW! Everything looked so beautiful and I'm sure it was fun to have friends and family helping with photography, etc.
Wow!!! What a wonderful job you did,not only with all of your special attention to details. But with all your love and support to two very special people,who will have these memories for a lifetime. What terrific grandparents also,to gift them the reception. All in all, a beautful event.
My husband and I made CDs of all the music for our wedding but what was so special is we asked all our guests to provide us with a piece of music to add to the play list. It made for an interesting and eclectic mix which was very personal to our loved ones and us ☺
I just got engaged a week ago and am so relieved to see how much of the wedding planning can really be done on a budget. Thank you for the ideas. Your son and daughter were very blessed to have you help support them in the planning :)
+Gina Randolph Thank you so much Gina! I do feel so blessed to have the amazing people that I have in my life. I hope you are doing great. Hugs and Love Nik
Everything you bought you could have gotten at hobby lobby for 50% off their wedding stuff, glass, 🌺 goes to 50% every other week. you did an awesome job very beautiful
wow love it, sent your video to my daughter the bride to be thank you for helping us plan the wedding. hopefully neither of them gets cold feet and cancel again.
What a fabulous video of what appeared to be a fantastic wedding ❤️. Sometimes I wonder if this shouldn’t be what we all should do. There is so much stress that goes into wedding planning. I can’t help but feel that this just isn’t what God intended for such a special day!
this was amazing and very helpful. My daughter is 24 and I know I will be helping her alot when her time comes. Congrats on getting a beautiful daughter in law.
+dabosslady76cs Thank you so much! Oh I am sure you will have some wedding planning in your future ...LOL! It is such a fun and special time. I hope all is great your way. Hugs and Love Nik
The beauty of this whole thing was its simplicity! What a wonderful life-lesson you've given to your son and his young bride on how plan and accomplish wonderful things on a budget!!! To your son, "May your own fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice with the wife of your youth!"~Proverbs 5:18.

+Vernice Dennison Awe! Thanks Vernice! Was such a pleasure to be a able to share this special time with you. Hope all is great your way. Hugs and Love Nik
Great tips, Nikki! I would add "elegant" to the description of their wedding. Thanks for sharing your planning, execution and costs. Your tips would be great also when asked to plan a milestone or surprise birthday celebration in a short period of time. Great job!
That cake is gorgeous! Can't believe that's from Walmart love the personal touches. Wow a wedding in 3 weeks you're a miracle worker. Congrats to your son
+The Shrewd Servant Awe Thank you! LOL! In the beginning I definitely thought it would take a miracle but surprisingly everything fell right into place :). Hugs and Love Nik
This video just blessed me!!!!!!!!!!! I'm over here stressing out over how to plan a wedding in 90 days and you just knocked out a fabulous one in 3 weeks. I need to calm down and focus. I will be using every tip that you mentioned. Thank you so much. This was awesome!!
Everything looked so beautiful and elegant! You are such a good mom to help do all that! Congrats to your son and daughter in law! Those were my wedding colors too!
Everything was so beautiful! I really enjoyed your video. Of all the wedding videos I've watched, I enjoyed and learned from yours the most. Thank you for sharing!
You have a wonderful family, the way they all came together to help out like that. Mine created nothing but stress and drama and pain for me when I planned my wedding. God bless.
You did such a amazing job!! So gorgeous! Almost 28 years ago we got married in a months time! Crazy! Congratulations on your new daughter, she is beautiful!
+Jennifer Johnson Thank you so much! CONGRATS on 28 years of marriage!!!! That is something to be celebrated! I hope all is great your way. Hugs and Love Nik
you seriously brought back like all hope I had that was squashed about my wedding. it's the end of this month and it was getting stressful about all this little things. thank you!!! feel so much better now!!!
+Cheryl Boone Thank you so much! You know unfortunately I was not able to get any of that footage prior to the wedding and reception. All the video and photos contain our family and guest so unable to share. I tried to capture as much of the process as I could but boy was that a task..LOL I hope all is great your way. Hugs and Love Nik
Congratulations on your son's marriage and welcoming a new daughter into your life. Such a beautiful job in such a short time. Excellent video with wonderful resources. Thanks for sharing.
OMG! In 3 weeks! It is possible. What an amazing job and such beautiful decor for your son and daughter-in-law. Loved all of your tricks of the trade...like using the earrings on the glasses. It all worked so well together. Now that's L-O-V-E! Will check out the pics on instagram. Hugs and ♡, Cathryn
Nikki, you did a great job with only 3 weeks to work with. Everything looked beautiful. My daughter is getting married next year and I'm already stressing thinking of helping her plan. We are going to Michaels for help too!!Thank you for great tips!! You have great taste. Blessings to the bride and groom!!!
+Nancy Smith Thank you so much Nancy! It was definitely a team effort and I was so happy with how smooth things went. Congrats on your daughters upcoming marriage! Oh Michael's is really a great resource. Especially using their coupons. I hope you are doing great and happy wedding planning! You got this my friend! Hugs and Love Nik
These ideas are so beautiful! I stumbled across this video while looking for my own wedding ideas and I am going to employ a lot of these. My colors are actually peach and navy, so it was great to see some peach incorporated. Congrats to you and your family!
I love this video. My fiancee and I are planning for our wedding in 2 months and watching this is giving me hope that my wedding will be just as wonderful.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful tips. My son is getting married next April and we have just started planning for the wonderful day. You are such a very creative person. I am glad I found your channel.
You are so wonderful! I just found your video and instantly started taking notes, I'm planning my wedding and bridal shower with help of my mom, aunt and best friend but still feels like the pressure is all in my shoulders and sometimes i get super stressed, my wedding is in June 17th and my bridal shower on may 6 and it feels like is all gonna happen next week I sure do wish you where my godmother and plan my dream wedding. Thank you for the video has definitely help a lot
Best budget wedding video I have found! Thank you for sharing tips that are duplicatable and sharing images of the final project. This is very encouraging! :)
Nikki, this is so beautiful and so wonderful. I did my own wedding in 1990 and we loved it so much. It was simple and it was us. Now I'd like to celebrate an anniversary and what you have done here would be perfect. As always thank you for these wonderful ideas.
+Kathryn Karney Thank you so much Kathryn. Love that you did your own wedding and enjoyed it. That is so important to enjoy such a beautiful time. Congrats on such a successful marriage. That is so beautiful! I wish you so much success with your anniversary celebration! Hugs and Love Nik
Thanks so much Nikki. I actually have 4 weeks to plan my wedding. YIKES! I see your son and daughter in law initials are "C&R" thats me and my fiance initials too! maybe that's a sign. lol!!
So beautiful and lovingly done! I would like to speak up for a traditional and affordable reception. This used to be known as a Cake and Punch reception. Often, church social halls make a wonderful place to hold the reception, people don't have to change locations. Typically, wedding cake, punch, coffee, tea, mints, cheese straws and finger sandwiches are served. Alcohol is not served or allowed in many churches. My husband and I toasted with beautiful, inexpensive glasses my mom found and ginger ale. We use them on our anniversary, with champagne!
+KA M Thank you! It truly was a team effort. It is a blessing to be surrounded by loving and caring people. I loved being able to share our journey with you! Hope you are doing great. Hugs and Love Nik
Everything is so beautiful! These are such great wedding tips. Amazing how elegant it all is. Love it. Thanks for sharing this. Would love a Baby Shower tips video too (smiles).
Nikki, this was all so beautiful and elegant! You are amazing, the kids must have felt like a million bucks! God Bless all of you. I am just blown away :)
Everything looked beautiful! That is amazing planning for only having three weeks. Congratulations to your son and daughter-in-law! Glad you had a beautiful day!
PERFECT video and information! My daughter and her finance' just don't want a big, expensive wedding. You've just shared with me how I can give them exactly what they wanted! (Nevermind saving me and my husband a TON of money!! I'm a new FAN!
