I got my proposal back from the Design Studio at The Breakers, and it is now a comfortable number, without compromising the look of anything (hell, I called the lady to specifically ask her this).
I went through 2 complete revisions, which included printing the initially 6 page proposal and frantically crossing out things like "Flower girls - Wreaths of ivory spray roses and baby's breath. Ivory ribbons will trail down" Um. No.
I will consult with my parents and Craig's mum to see if this $ amount is good to go.
I'm glad this worked out because I was ready to hold my Elmo stuffed toy down the aisle in place of flowers.
