If you had an unlimited budget....

...what would your wedding look like?

I was thinking about this the other day, its hard when you really get your hopes up when day-dreaming.

1. My venue would be the newly remodeled and now modern Deyoung museum in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. They have a beautiful outdoor ceremony spot for $500, but you have to have the reception there as well and the venue is $5000. You then must use one of their approved caterers.

2. I would order all my flowers from a professional and have everything put together instead of ordering from Sam's Club and doing all the flowers myself.

3. I'd also hire a wedding planner, give them my vision and let them run with it.

4. My BMs would be in TwoBirds dresses

5. I'd be having a cocktail hour and an open bar. Heck there would be alcohol which we won't be having any.

n have a kick butt wedding.

    I would have most of the same things, but I'd have:

    1. I would have sent limos to pick up all of our guests so they wouldn't have had to drive.

    2. I would have made sure a florist stayed on site the entire time to make sure every table looked flawless the whole time.

    3. I would have had those darn chivari chairs!!!

    4. I would have hired a MOH so the day of my MOHs could have relaxed & enjoyed themselves instead of working their butts off! LOL

    i would probably have picked another venue.  while i love FI's cousin backyard for our small ceremony, i would pick another place. where?  not sure!  LOL

    i would have a reception with all types of food stations...chicken, beef, sushi, vegan/vegetarian.

    1. Flowers Flowers Flower Flowers in the colors of the wedding and several diffeent types.
    2. I would have a second line band come to Florida from New Orleans to have that real authentic new orleans feel for my fi and his family and to introduce my family to it.
    3. I would have a wide variety of food choices and open bar.
    4. The reception and ceremony decorations would be exactly how I wish them to be.
    5. We would have our photobooth and a variety of entertainment for our guests all night!
    6. Ross Oscar Knight would photograph my wedding.

    My mom went to a wedding like that. They rented out an entire island in the San Francisco Bay for the entire day. All the guests were transported by boats to the island.
