June 2012 Weddings

Random WR question

Re: Random WR question

  • At this point, I think I'd like to hire a wedding coordinator if I had the money. After the dress and some of the other fun items, I've gotten a bit worn out on the planning. Don't get me wron, I have tons of ideas in my head, but actually calling everyone and figuring out costs etc, etc... I'd love for someone else to do that for me. I do think I'd also go for a different photographer. I like ours but it's not the BEST I've seen and we're getting a pretty basic package.

  • If I had an unlimited budget, the one thing I would change is the guest list. It sucks not being able to afford everyone to your wedding. When we were planning our guest list, we tried to keep it under 100. My fiance comes from a VERY small family and I (half Mexican half Italian) have a VERY large family. So I was the one who had to do the most cutting from the list. I felt bad asking him to cut because he has no more than 20 people on our list. So I would change the guest list for sure. Other than that, maybe the flowers and decorations. I am happy with the way we have every thing else.

  • Since my wedding budget is 10,000$ (Less than half the price of the average wedding in my area), I would upgrade everything if I had an unlimited budget, and hire a wedding planner to handle everything for me.
    I love the fireworks idea too!

  • I would get an amazing videographer...my favorite one ever is so expensive. It would be great though. We already SUPER splurged on my favorite photographer...so I'd definitely stick with her.

    I might have gotten a different dress...there was a Vera Wang one that I was obsessed with for years...but it was $15,000!! No thank you! haha

    II would cut less corners with the flowers, but I know they'll turn out gorgeous no matter what, so I'm not really worried about that.

    The only other big thing I would do would be the food...I would try to have a more southern meal. Shrimp and grits, things like that.

    I love the Vera Wang dress Kate Hudson wears in Bride Wars. I also love Jessica Simpson's Vera Wang dress!
  • I would have white draping on the ceiling and tons of uplighting.  We're already having a ton of food, we have a great photog and amazing DJ, maybe I'd have a videographer, although i'm not really sure I want one.  I'm not a big flower person. I love home timeless photos are.  Maybe I'd also take a month long honeymoon and go to a bunch of different places.

  • I would increase the amount of appetizers we're serving, and include more desserts.  Food makes guests happy!  I'd also do a firework show, which has been done at my venue in the past.  Maybe more flowers too?  I'm pretty happy and lucky with what I've got so far though.

  • I would totally go on an amazing and LONG honeymoon. I would love to country hop in europe for a couple months. :)

    My second choice would be about 3 videographers/photographers each so I can make sure every moment is captured. (I'd also hire one to follow us on our honeymoon and take gorgeous pictures haha)

    <div>Definitely a gorgeous dress! I'm not sure I would pay $15,000 for it though.  I am sure your dress is much better! :)</div>

    [QUOTE]I would have tons and tons of flowers, 3 photographers, a better videographer, 2 dresses. I would have milkshakes included in my late night snacks with cherries on top and cute straws, a band, and an old style car for my send off. I would get married in a castle and have a horse drawn carriage! LOL Serious! I'm ridiculous! I would charter a plane for everyone to come. The entire feel of the wedding would enchanted romance.

    that all sounds AWESOME!

    i'd probly spend more on a photographer, invite more people, and open bar.  and a sweet honeymoon to somewhere warm.
  • I honestly wouldn't change much. I think a destinaton wedding and paying for everyone's expenses would be awesome! (like someone else said) I know a few of my family memebers will never have a vacation like that, so it would be nice.

    If honeymoon is included in this dream, I would love to go somewhere awesome for a month or so! :) I don't really care where it is, just somewhere warm, relaxing and awesome! haha

  • If I had an unlimited amount of funding dedicated to just the wedding I'd spend it on an amazing venue location and fly everyone out to it.  It would be something outdoorsy like helicopter everyone onto a ledge of the Grand Canyon or on some amazing beach.

    However, if I just had unlimited funding for whatever, I honestly wouldn't change the wedding much but would use the money for our next house and some serious upgrades in the house as well as paying off my car and getting my FI a new one.

  • I'd fly Jose Villa and Elizabeth Messina in to be my photographers and hire Holly Chapple as my floral designer.

    I would have TONS of real red roses everywhere!  I can't justify it on what my budget is.  I'd also have nicer table linens and a great live band instead of a DJ. OH and a couple SUPER photographers.  My photographer is MOH's niece.  She's a photographing student, but had not done a wedding.  I'm also asking a friend's daughter who's also a photography student who has done some great pictures for weddings---she was my first pick, but haven't been able to talk with her yet.  Everyone else that I liked is already booked.
