I was doing research for a friend and found this guide to wedding planning online. It's an ebook that actually includes a bonus for free wedding planning software.

What a great way to save time and money!

So if you're looking for some budget wedding ideas, you might want to check out Erica's book. She even offers an eight-week money-back guarantee!

I couldn't believe the cost of having a Wedding Planner! According to the Association of Bridal Consultants, the national average is $3,262! And that's before you've even thought about the flowers for your special day!

Here are a couple more wedding ideas that I found as I was reviewing my friend's wedding planning checklist!

Six Simple Ways to Use Lavender at a Wedding

Tie bundles of dried or fresh lavender (fresh lavender available in July) with bows for the end of each seating row at the ceremony.
Include fresh or dried lavender in the bridal party bouquets; it is the ancient herb of love and devotion.
Have the flower girl toss dried lavender buds along the aisle. As the bridesmaids step on the aromatic buds, a gentle, calming fragrance greets the bride. Wedding day jitters disappear!
Dried or fresh lavender stems in small vases at the reception carry on this fragrant theme.
Use a ribbon-trimmed bundle of fresh lavender as the bridal bouquet toss. A new tradition is to present the toss bouquet to a guest of honor rather than have the "bouquet battle." Use dried lavender stems along with other dried herbs and flowers for an everlasting memory!
Use fragrant, environmentally friendly dried lavender as lavender wedding rice. Those fragrant buds are a great alternative for rice. Wedding venues no longer allow rice because it’s difficult to clean up and it attracts rodents. Not only does birdseed also attract unwanted guests, it sprouts unwanted plants. As for bubbles, they create a slippery mess that stains fine fabrics. Lavender used as wedding toss vacuums up easily providing an instant air freshener.
