Hideaway, ...Thanks so much for the input everyone! Hideaway, we'd LOVE to do something outside, but October (even the beginning of it) is pretty cold in Chicago. And we were actually hoping to find a barn (I loooove rustic weddings), but there isn't much available within an hour from the city. We're still looking though! :) We're also considering renting a vacation house with lots of rooms, if we can find one big enough that would allow us to do a wedding/reception there. We want it to be super casual, so something like that would be perfect. I wish we knew someone here who had a big ole' house we could use! :)<br /><br />xoxo,<br />mMelissa at bubbyandbean.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529482206467186418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-75206706007335683532011-03-29T13:03:23.521-05:002011-03-29T13:03:23.521-05:00Congrats on setting the date!

I went to a wedding that had a selection of cupcakes, mini-tortes, individual servings of different stuff, all decorated with their color scheme. It was super cute and according to them, much more affordable. And you get to have all different flavors. <br /><br />As to inexpensive locations, I've seen a lot of pretty weddings happening at old barns the past few years on the internet. I would've never thought barn and wedding go together, but with the right setting and decorations, it can be very pretty. Also having a wedding outdoors and reception in a tent is always an inexpensive option as well. <br /><br />I look forward to seeing what you find!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00263044857099967566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-25803354061371297462011-03-29T12:59:43.006-05:002011-03-29T12:59:43.006-05:00I LOVE wedding cake alternatives.
