If you had to replan your wedding and start over, what type of wedding would would want (money being no object)? 

It has to be different than the one you are currently planning.

I would probably either elope in Vegas or have a beach, destination wedding.  I think there's something incredibly romantic about just the two of you (and maybe a couple witnesses) saying your vows to each other without all the hoopla.

I married in Vegas once...didnt go so well..lol


Deffiantly a beach wedding. Id still love to have all our friends and family there, but I think beach weddings are so romantic.

If I had no money constraints we would be having our reception at the Royal Oak music theater, my invites would have been way nicer (I hate my invites!)...but I think a lot of it would stay the same.  We are having a pretty amazing bar...I guess I would have tons of awesome food, not that our food isn't awesome but I could go all out on that.

I would forget all this craziness of a huge wedding and run off to a beach somewhere and get married just the two of us and a few people.

I sometimes think about doing this still.

Right now I am planning a formal evening reception and that part of it I would not change.  I would have chosen a more unique venue, our top 2 choices were Sheraton in Novi and the Inn at St. Johns and both were within our budget.  We decied on Sheraton because everything seemed much more simple with them.  I also would have chosen a more elegant church.We are putting a good amount of our budget into food and beverages but I wish we were splurging for a more formal cocktail hour, I feel like we made that too casual in relationship to the rest of the reception. 

Oh Also...specialty martinis and wine service with dinner.  I could not justify those because we are having an open bar all night.  With an unlimited budget, they would have been on the list.

With an unlimited budget I would have flown to Kleinfeld's wtih all of he important women in my life to shop for dresses. I really regret my whole dress shopping experience.

I probably would have chosen a different venue that was more unique, and hired someone to help me make a really unique wedding.

Before I got engaged, I had all kinds of ideas about where I wanted to get married, which caterers I wanted to use, etc. etc. But that was when I did event planning for a living and had someone else's budget to play with and professional planners to manage the to-do's for me!

When it came down to it, I went with simplicity. Lovely venue, but one that has all of the fixin's (food, linens, booze, etc.) in-house.

While I am excited to have all my friends and family come to town in a few weeks, I originally wanted (and would still love) a garden wedding with just my nearest and dearest.  Still in Michigan, but a garden ceremony and outdoor/tented reception.

I would love to get married on the beach!  We were actually planning (originally) a beach wedding in Port Austin with a tented reception but then the beach area we were planning on using became a parking lot.   
If money were not an issue we would have a destination beach wedding or awesome ceremony spot and pay for our parents and closest friends to come.  By awesome ceremony spot I mean somewhere like a cliff on the grand canyon where no visitors typically go and you need to be helicoptered in.

i also love the DW idea... but i think i'd rent a romantic cabin with a beautiful yard, drap LOTS of strings of lights, have candles everywhere, a smaller gathering but more of a bbq/ish.... just very low key.

FWIW- i think both wedding (real and pretend) would be on the cheaper side. but of course if i had extra $ i would splurge on items.

I would stick to my guns and have a smaller wedding and take the rest of the money and get a house.

I'm on board with a lot of you ladies - beach destination wedding

If we had all the $ in the world, then the wedding would have been in FIs family hometown in Italy, but realistically, the only thing I would change would be the guest list - probably have it be half the size it is now. I love everything else and would keep it the same.

I think about cancelling everything and just having a small ceremony up in traverse city with just cloes family and friends,almost every day. But, its too late. I've already payed out ALOT of money. So i guess i'll just have the big party.
