Planner cost?
Ruthann , on April 11, 2018 at 12:15 PM

Hi! I was recently quoted 5,000 for a wedding coordinator, how does that sound to people? They are a team actually that so all the leg work, contracts, and day of coordination as well as design work.

Hey y'all, I just had a lovely interaction with my prospective wedding planners. Their full price package is 5,000, which is average for that area. But in the WW spirit of "you might as well ask" and...

Greenery over flowers?
Rachel, on April 14, 2018 at 12:52 PM

I really want to use lots of greenery and no actual flowers? Anyone done this? Was it more cost effective?
