She and her partner ended up spending just over \u00a35,000 on a large wedding with 120 day guests and 300 evening guests.<\/p>\n<p>As Catherine\u2019s a florist, she was able to do the bouquets and decor herself, while her now-husband is a farmer, meaning they saved on venue costs by holding their ceremony and reception on his land.<\/p>\n<p>The pair\u2019s friends and family also donated services or helped out with mate\u2019s rates on everything from photography to toilets.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We had no budget in mind when we started planning,\u2019 Catherine told&nbsp;<strong>Metro<\/strong>. \u2018It just sort of evolved, and we had so many people wanting to be involved it was amazing.\u2019 She\u2019s over the moon with how it all turned out, adding: \u2018People are still talking about it.
