I wanted a cheap wedding so hit up Lidl, Primark & Shein but you’d never tell, people say it’s as nice as a £90k do
DESPERATE to tie the knot but don’t have enough cash to splash out on a posh do?
A woman has shared how she managed to spend just £2,000 on their entire wedding.
Jodie Elizabeth shared details of her special day via a video posted to her TikTok channel @jodieelizabeth4.
The beautiful bride revealed that not only did they do it on a budget, she and her husband were able to plan the whole wedding in just four weeks.
The couple had help from friends and family for their bargain ceremony, and Jodie’s sister did her hair and make up for free.
Instead of splashing out on an expensive dress, Jodie bought hers for just £250 online.
She also spent just £10 on her Primark shoes and her Shein tiara was an absolute bargain, at just £5.
Jodie also picked up some fast-fashion bargains for her bridesmaids, who were her young daughters.
She got dresses, tiaras, flowers and shoes for all four of the adorable looking girls for just £75.
Obviously a big fan of budget clothes retailer Shein, Jodie also got her bridal bouquet from there for a tenner.
The couple chose not to splash out on extravagant wedding rings and picked up some simple gold bands for £99 form Argos.
Jodie’s page boys (her sons) were also decked out in Shein bargains.
She managed to get three suits for them for £48 and spent £50 on three pairs of shoes for them.
For the wedding cars, the couple just used family members vehicles with a bit of ribbon tied on them, so this cost them nothing.
They spent £300 on the registry office and hired a photographer for £100 for five hours.
Jodie’s husbands suit was rented for £100 and his shoes cost £50.
The bride made the wedding cake herself by decorating a cake dummy (a polystyrene model of a cake, used if the cake isn’t going to be eaten) with flowers left over from her bouquet.

She also made all the food for the event herself, using items from Lidl and was up from 8am on her own wedding day preparing the spread.
The couple had their wedding at their own Bistro, so it didn’t cost them anything to rent it out and even skimped out on a honeymoon, choosing to spend their wedding night at home with the kids.
The pictures of Jodie’s wedding look stunning, and it’s hard to believe she spent next to nothing on her big day.
The bride’s video has likely left many open-mouthed as it has racked up over 160,000 views.
TikTokers raced to the video’s comments section to share their thoughts on the budget wedding.
