Keep everything simple from colors to clothing to food. I helped a friend plan one quickly and we did the decorations with some silk flowers tied with sparkly toule in great big bows for bouquets and centerpieces. Worked very well and was quick and inexpensive. Pew bows done the same way. Their dresses were bought at JCPenney and were just beautiful. Her gown she found at Davids Bridal on clearance and it fit perfectly!
