For Ms Jessica Bishop, who formerly worked in marketing, starting BudgetSavvyBride.com in 2008 was personal. Newly engaged during the Great Recession, she had wondered: “How do I have this dream wedding on the budget that I can actually afford?”
In 2009, she managed to pull off a wedding for 150 guests at a venue in Smyrna, Tennessee, for about US$10,000 (S$13,500) thanks to several cost-cutting measures. Since then, Ms Bishop, who is based in nearby Nashville, has devoted her career to helping couples on a budget, publishing a book, The Budget-Savvy Wedding Planner & Organiser, in 2018.
