    This wedding looks like it would have cost at least $20-30 thousand.  Great job, it is breathtaking- should be in a magazine!

    @greenek2: Wow, I would have thought this would have cost atleast twice that much. GORGEOUS wedding! Out of curiosity, whose the designer of the b-maid dresses? I love them.

    @UpstateCait: Thanks yall! It is Bari Jay :)

    I did not include the cost of the honeymoon, rehearsal dinner, rings, and stuff the groom would pay for (my flowers, bridesmaids flowers, officiant)- Those things were still not much though. And we did have a Friday night wedding with only 85 guests..makes a big difference I know!

    I like your tall centrpieces.  Similar to what I want to do.  Did you DIY or have the florist do your centerpiece?  I am also thinking of lavender and green.

    @mrscandy: We had a florist, she was great and pretty affordable! I had thought about diy and am so glad I did not, just because I was already so stressed and it ended up being about the same price..plus the florist was able to load them all in and set them up as opposed to me...And she gave me a great deal on a day of coordinator!

    My diy things were my invitations, escort cards, and menus, and favors, and wishing well, and memory photo thing.

    You must be in Atlanta! I totally tried to convince my fiance to get married there, but he could not imagine the beauty of it. No imagination lol. Very pretty and beautiful centerpiece. You looked amazing!

    @norab2684: lots of planning, research, negotiating, a little diy, smaller wedding (85 people), re-purposing some of the flowers, Friday night wedding...and the 10k does not include the stuff groom's usually pay for or the honeymoon....also it only includes part of the dress because my grandma payed for some of it..so it is more like $10700 I guess.... still, the food was awesome, all my vendors were awesome. I was happy with the outcome of all my hard work.

    Amazing! I can not believe that your budget is 10K, you should do this for a living :).

    @LetsGoPens: lol thanks...I had thought about it, and my undergrad was with the dreams of one day being an event planner. However, now I am in graduate school to be a teacher.
