You can do it for alot less, there are alot of cost saving ideas, such as getting free samples and reduced price samples from wedding fayres.
Changing the venue from a chursh to a registary office or a cheapish stately home.
If you know someone can make dresses, you can buy material and have the bridesmaid dresses made to your design, only have 1 or 2 bridesmaids.
When me and my partner were working out a budget, we found we didnt need to buy a £1000 dress, there are beautiful ones for £200.
With suits you can get deal, we were quoted £300 for 5 suits which is brilliant and the lady said that if anyone quoted cheaper then she would match it.

You can go all out and drop millions of dollars on a wedding or you can go to Vegas and get a marriage license fairly cheap. Really the sky is the limit. When planning a wedding you need to set your own budget or talk it over with a wedding planner and have them help you set one. [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]
