my FI and i have decided to go with edible favours (chocolate, candy apples, chocolate covered pretzels, personalized cookies etc) for our november wedding. however, after finding vendors online, i've been getting quotes that start at around $3 and go up to $10. unfortunately, this is above our budget. when i finally found personalized chocolate bars quoted at $1.75 a piece, i discovered it was because they are 3cm by 9cm-- way too small. can anyone recommend a vendor? i do enjoy baking but am afraid of committing to a large edible project that will be time consuming before the wedding. any suggestions would be appreciated.]]> has anyone ever negotiated cost with a wedding venue? https://forums.theknot.com/discussion/518491/has-anyone-ever-negotiated-cost-with-a-wedding-venue Sat, 25 Feb 2012 15:36:32 +0000 Canada-Ontario mrs.april 518491@/discussions

I have a venue in mind that i love, but there is a $10,000 catering limit included and a room rental fee of over $3,000. unfortunately the lady that i have dealt with so far is not great at answering emails, she seems to hate her job, so i may back out based on this fact alone. but if i could get what i want for a great price i may be willing to stay! how have you dealt with these set price limits and add ons? has anyone been able to talk their vendor out of it?

Thanks for all your help!

I would like to do either gourmet popsicles or paletas, or gourmet donuts.

We are getting married at Langdon Hall in July and I think one of these would be a fun twist.

I already tried Dough by Rachelle but she was booked and Glory Hole Donuts said they weren't sure as they are trying to open a store right now.

Any recommendations for either item would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-gold
-teal (the darker one not the lighter one)
-dark gray
-aubergine a.k.a. eggplant purple
and a little damask or buroque and bling :)

my ceremony is in the tent of the royal ambassador and i am trying to envision what the very white room will look like with table cloths of either teal or champagne with a nice damask or baroque pattern. of course the centerprices will be in the other chosen colours

unfortuately my fiance does not like aubergine that much and i can only use it as a small component.

i wanted to know what 3 colours from my choice you would choose and why

my wedding is an outdoor ceremony in a gazebo, tented reception, sept 1 2013. my fiance and i are urban chic but like the outdoors too. the wedding theme is definitrly not rustic but at the same time, we don't want it to me too dark and heavy on the colours.

Pearl Bracelet on Etsy (DesignbyNulek): (I bought 1 first to see the quality, then ordered 5 more)

I also went to Yorkdale and bought the Nailed It! gift set from Sephora:

and then took a trip to The Body Shop @ Vaughan Mills and spoke with the store manager, who went out of her way to get me a awesome deal (they were having their buy 1 get %50 off promotion and then she started ripping open gift sets for me for another discount).. she even went into the back and gave me wooden baskets to house everything in... Each girl got 5 full-size products, plus makeup bags and I paid about $230, and got 3 items for myself as well.

So all together I paid $108 for each girl.

What do you think?

Our postal code has the letter Z in it, and my fiance kept repeating it

4 - ZED - 7

The rep didn't understand him. ZED?

Finally he said "ZED like in Zebra". And the rep replied, "no, it's ZEE". She had never heard someone call it ZED before.

On the bright side, at least we knew we were talking to a call centre in the USA.
