That's exactly what some couples who are appearing on "The Big Day" on BBC One have chosen to do.
They are not left completely in the lurch though they have expert advice on hand from the rather luscious Nick Knowles (though I think he is there more for eye candy purposes), top stylist Hannah Standing and wedding expert James Love.
This week's couple were from Blackpool and their friends and family chose to decorate a local community centre in the theme of a Las Vegas casino for their reception. The Groom looked very handsome in a purple velvet jacket chosen by the affore mentioned (luscious) Nick Knowles and the bride wore a 2nd hand wedding dress that had to be heavily tailored by a top designer in order to fit her tiny frame and be worthy of walking down the aisle in.
They had fish, chips and mushy peas for their wedding breakfast delivered to the venue by a local firm and the bride arrived at the church in a golden carriage pulled by a palamino horse.
What stood out for me was how creative people can be when budget is an issue. The table flowers were all placed in salt and pepper pots (no lids, obviously), the bar was covered in playing cards and covered in perspex and the venue looked fabulous. They also had a big band on the stage!
I thought it was lovely - really intimate! It will be interesting to see of subsequent weddings are as successful though!!!
