My wife & mother made her wedding dress and the dresses for 3 bridesmaids for under 300 bucks. Not that it helps if you cant sew, but there are other options for a dress, including ebay. My cousin bought one from Idaho which was nearly identical to the one she saw in the shop in town, $300 for a $900 dress.
My entire wedding reception cost under $2000 and I think we had about 200 people actually show up, we provided snacking food, cold cuts, buns, etc and fancy centerpieces. The largest single cost was my suit and the ties/shirts for the groomsmen, which came to $1010 at Moores. Aside from that the invitations were like 300 bucks from Staples. It helps that we used our churches cultural hall and facilities and personnel for the wedding itself at no cost.
