A Priceless Wedding:

Crafting a Meaningful, Memorable, and Affordable Celebration

by

Sara Cotner

How you and your partner plan your wedding can set a precedent for how you will be as a family. How do you work together to merge two different sets of ideas into something bigger and better? How do you disagree in constructive rather than destructive ways? How do you honor the input and experience of family members while simultaneously maintaining ownership of your lives and choices?

 

In this part-memoir, part how-to handbook, popular wedding blogger Sara Cotner shares how you can resist the pressure to create the wedding of someone else’s dreams and instead reclaim the real purposes of a wedding: community, connection, commitment, and fun.

 

A Priceless Wedding covers all the basics: securing a location, finding a dress, deciding on flowers, selecting a wedding party, planning the ceremony, choosing rings, and everything in between, but it goes beyond the elements of a “traditional” wedding to help you plan an eco-friendly, hand-crafted, budget-minded celebration that will be both memorable and meaningful. Featuring do-it-yourself projects that help you create your own unique wedding favors, sew a homemade wedding quilt, and more, this book will inspire you to begin your own traditions and rituals that will clarify your values and let you live them out loud.

Sara Cotner (Houston, TX) is a popular blogger at 2000dollarwedding.com and is a known resource for those interested in meaningful, budget-minded, hand-crafted weddings. She has been featured on CNN.com, Inside Edition, the pages of the Wall Street Journal, and more.

Wasn't that unusual, but a long time ago the couple put disposable cameras on each table so the guests could record the event from their own perspective. These days with cell phones, its a lot easier.

Community & connection are super important in wedding celebrations and often overlooked. So excited.

I think it was the groom's cake in the shape of, and decorated like, a bowling alley. That was pretty cool

FYI: The pre-made tweet in the Rafflecopter has a size problem making it impossible to re=tweet. I wrote my own but you probably want to address this. Thanks for the giveaway.

Asking people to bring in hand written letters to the couple that were place in a book.

I've been following Sara's blogs for years and I'm finally getting married! Would love to get her book :)

The couple's cake topper was clay models of their two dogs.

Can I say I love a candy table? Those are always the best at a wedding!

Would love to snag a copy of this book! Thanks for the opportunity! We used paper fans as favors since it was an outdoor reception.
