Heidi Ellert-McDermott walked down the aisle on her wedding day in a £50 dress from Debenhams. She had made the invites herself, and had bought the flowers from IKEA.
She and her husband Roger's budget wedding took place in 2012, costing around £4.5k, but what made it special was the speeches, says Heidi.
It elevated the occasion from just a 'posh party' in a restaurant – 'bringing heart and soul' and personal touches, making their guests laugh and smile.
