We pulled off our wedding day for less than £3,000 by buying my wedding dress from Oxfam and asking guests to take our photos

A savvy couple who didn't want to spend a fortune on their wedding day have revealed how they pulled the whole thing off for less than £3,000.

Lauren Vickery-Young, 25, and Connor Young, 33, from Southampton, Hampshire, decided to have a discount wedding because they didn't like the idea of spending lots of money on one day of their lives.

The newlyweds managed to bring their wedding costs down to £2,721 by saving on a photographer and making the invitations themselves.

Lauren also bought her dress at an Oxfam charity shop for £200 and Connor re-used a suit he already had.
