Couple take vow of an affordable wedding

When Ricki and Andrew Uster started planning their wedding last fall, their excitement to say "I do" was tempered by "We can't" - their vow to keep costs low. "I was thinking, 'OK, this is going to be budget. Now how can we make this beautiful?' " said Ricki of Phoenix. The couple, both 33, visited wedding blogs for inspiration, scrapbook stores for decorations and Craigslist for a photographer and live bands...

...Bridal bouquets can fetch as much as $200, according to Dennis Thompson, owner of White House Flowers in Phoenix. Ricki sidestepped this expense by having a friend, Christina Martinez, create a floral bouquet of Craspedia (aka Billy Buttons), foliage and floral tape.
