A morning ceremony followed by an outdoor brunch is a wonderful way to throw a beautiful, budget-friendly wedding. By holding your wedding earlier in the day, or on a Sunday, some vendors might be willing to bargain. Incorporate vintage elements to add a sweet touch, as well as to help save money, and stick with a simple color palette (I chose buttery yellow and soft white) to create a cohesive look.
Mood: vintage garden charm
Palette: butter yellow, milk glass, garden green

Top row from left: stamped gift tags from Linda & Harriett, dahlias in milk glass from Martha Stewart Weddings, dress from Vintage Dress, hanging fabric photo by Adrienne Page
Row 2: bridesmaid via {frolic!}, rose earrings from Out of the Blue, mimosas from Martha Stewart, custom bow tie by xo elle via Casando Ideias
Row 3: scones from Martha Stewart, garden gate via Peach & Pearl, bouquet and horsehair hat both from Martha Stewart Weddings
Row 4: roses in milk glass photo by Punam Bean, crossword puzzle, coconut cake, and ribbons all from Martha Stewart Weddings
The Paper: Take a cue from Linda & Harriett, and create your own invitations with rubber stamps - they create a look that is both low-key and whimsical. You can use that same rubber stamp to continue your motif throughout the wedding, on cocktail napkins, thank you notes, you name it.
The Fashion: Choose a beautiful skirt and top for your bridesmaids, and they'll appreciate having separates that they might actually wear again. How about a charming bow tie for the groom, and maybe as gifts for the groomsmen? This one by xo elle is only $36, and is made from vintage materials. You can save with a vintage wedding dress, too - the one in this inspiration board is only $275. Vintageous and Cherished Online are two places to look. Pair it with a gorgeous, wide-brimmed sun hat - it might be a splurge, but it will certainly get more wear than a veil!
The Decor: Instead of one sheet of fabric for a photobooth backdrop, hang several panels of fabric from a large tree - either for photos, or just for visual interest. Rent simple white linens - they're often the cheapest option, and will work with the simple yellow and white color scheme. Other than that, an outdoor venue shouldn't require much other decorating.
The Flowers: If you have a wholesale flower market nearby, pick up a variety of flowers in the same pale yellow. Arrange them in mismatched milk glass containers - you can find these for as little as $1 from flea markets, antique stores, and eBay. Have a floral designer create a small bouquet for you - cutting down the size can cut the cost in half, and allow you to include pricier blooms.
The Food: A brunch buffet may or may not be cheaper than dinner, but you'll certainly save on alcohol. Guests will drink less earlier in the day, and you can get by with only two alcoholic options - mimosas and bloody Mary's. Ask friends or family to contribute their baking skills - if someone is up to the challenge, they might even make a traditional tiered wedding cake for you.
Other Details: Vintage cream-colored rose earrings are the perfect accessory for the bride, and at only $8 they would make a great gift for your bridesmaids, too. Embellish your bouquet with vintage ribbon - a yard of pricier ribbon won't break the bank, and Etsy is a great place to look for cheaper options. Place a customized crossword puzzle and pencil at each seat - a perfect detail for Sunday brunch, and something you can easily print off your own computer at home.
