My name is Jessica, and I’m The Budget Savvy Bride! In the process of planning my own budget-savvy wedding, I realized there weren’t alot of resources out there for brides like me. I decided to keep track of my wedding planning experiences in blog form, and little did I know how useful my experiences and tips would be to so many budget brides! Since getting married in May 0f 2009, I’ve continued sharing tips and tricks for how to save money on your big day. My goal is to be a valuable resource for brides looking to have a fabulous wedding without breaking the bank!

I currently live in Nashville, TN with my hubby- E, our awesome cat, Steve Perry and our adorable pup, Knox! I own my own graphic design business and I love it! I get to be creative every day so it never gets boring! I take on lots of various freelance graphic design jobs and would love to help you with any design project- no job is too large or small. My specialty is wedding related paper products like invitations, save-the-dates, programs, thank you cards and various stationery pieces. You can view some of my work by clicking the logo to the left.

Hi, I just found your blog today, but couldn’t find any contact details for you. I noticed in your stationary post that you were looking at getting a desk embosser. I found one recently at paper-source.com for $28.50 http://www.paper-source.com/cgi-bin/paper/4207500000.html?cm_id=2770.010
You can get it in a round shape and also square from what I understand – there’s also a how-to video to look at.
Best wishes
Your blog is great!!!
Congrats on the wedding! I just got over mine on July 12th. Sounds like we have a lot in common (Likes to be creative 24/7), so I think you’ll find the following sites very helpful…www.save-on-crafts.com (Tons of craft stuff and ideas, cheaper than in stores. My orders were perfectly shipped to me and quickly.), http://www.nashvillewraps.com (Good for ribbon, bags, and I had a candy dessert bar, so I got the clear Chinese take out boxes (VERY cute!), and also try http://www.midwestbottles.com (Good for ribbon).
Good Luck and e-mail me if you need more help!
Sincerly,
Erika

Just found your blog – love it! I’m a Knoxville bride planning an out of town wedding on a not-so-awesome budget, too! However, unlike you, I’m not crafty at all so I hope to find some inspiration in your blog!

Hi!! I saw you had some Nashville sites on your site. Are you getting married there? I’m getting married next May (So Far Away) but we are doing it in Nashville.
We would love to be a part your blog. You have a great idea here. As a company we truly do understand what brides are going through with their budgets. Especially with this economy. We are running promotions all the time here in Los Angeles to help those brides you can afford the expensive DJs photographers etc…..
Great blog. I’m just starting a wedding dress and accessories business catering to the bride on a tight budget. I’m in Franklin, just south of Nashville. While planning my daughter’s wedding, it became apparent to me that brides needed options and someone who was understanding. After working with my daughter on a budget that was constantly under revision, I knew I had found something for which I had passion for and would put a smile on my face every day…there’s nothing like seeing a bride find “the dress”! http://abridesbigday.wordpress.com
‘Hi budget Savvy bride!!! I just started my own bride blog as well and I’m new to this whole thing but I love reading your blog! How do you add the blogs that you love to your site? Mine is weddingonahalfdime.blogspot.com and I want to add you to mine but I don’t know how? Can you help?’
Hi – found your blog today. You’re looking for wedding help/tips? May I offer http://www.placeseveryone.com? It’s a great way (if I say so myself) to help you plan the seating arrangements.
Take a look – we’d love to know what you think!

Hi There,
I love your blog. Were you considering selling any of your items from you wedding? If so, I would be interested in purchasing some of your decorations. Thanks!
How much do you charge to design a cloudle thing like you did for your save the date?
Been following your twitter updates. Maybe one of these days I’ll make your preferred photographers list
. Keep up the good work!
Hi! You sent me a direct message on Twitter (theModernGirl), but for some reason it won’t let me send one back!
I found you through someone else’s twitter feed and I thought your blog was fun
I own a wedding stationery company and have a wedding blog too: http://www.moderngirlinvitations.com/modernbrideguide
Would you consider adding it to your Wedding blogroll?
Best wishes!
Autumn
[...] really like how Jessica interviews other brides about their big day. I’m a big fan of the personal stories, and [...]
Jessica:
Hope you are well.
Wondered if you could connect me with any interested brides in the Nashville/Middle Tennessee area who have already married and are interested in being featured in the Tennessean’s Wedding of the Week section?
