Budgets. Love ’em or hate ’em, most  people have to draw a line somewhere when it comes to planning a wedding. I love seeing how creative brides and grooms can get to stay within budget, but still have all the details they love. Matt and Sara had a Colorado Mountain wedding for under $2,000 and nothing was sacrificed. After all, all you need is love…and that’s free! But it’s nice to be able to share your wedding with your friends and loved ones, especially in such a beautiful mountain-top setting, without breaking the bank. You can read all about the details of planning this $2k wedding at their blog!

Matt was primarily in charge of music, and he created three playlists. A pre-wedding (when guests are being sat), a post-ceremony, and a reception mix.
