Let's have some fun!

View Quoted Comment I found one two and a half hours away but we didn’t want to go that far away.

View Quoted Comment That was our problem too! Dream venue but 3 hours away, it was a no go. The best venues are always so far away lol

View Quoted Comment We did find a different one that we are both over the moon in love with so it worked out.

My dream venue would be the Peabody Library in Baltimore. I just don't have Peabody Library in Baltimore money hahaha.

Other than that, we're both very happy with our choices and can't wait for December.

Peabody LIbrary

Ooh!! This is easy!! Venue, open bar, plates dinner, not DYI anything!!

VENUE!!! it would most likely be in a different county - and if the budget was completely unlimited i'd pay to fly guests out

With an unlimited budget, I would have one of those fancy, all-inclusive venues, massive amounts of flowers (having no real flowers because of cost), and a full open bar!! Don't get me wrong, I love our venue, but it would be nice to have more included. We would also have a much larger guest list. And I would also book a month-long honeymoon, instead of just a week!

Oh wow!! I didn't know you could have a wedding in a library!!! OMG!!!!! That would definitely be the ultimate for me!! I am a total book nerd. There isn't a day that goes by that you won't see me with my nose in a book. But to be surrounded by all those books on the happiest day of my life? Heaven!!!

So many flowers. And a giant dessert bar.

Destination wedding in Italy!

I knowwww! All my inner bookend wanted was a bookish wedding. But it's okay, the fireplace at our venue has books.

Flowers/Stying. And an oyster bar. My style team, who also did all florals, are the sweetest ladies I loved them and they did a fantastic job, but it didn’t quite meet my vision. We had a quote for $14,000 LOL where flowers probably would have been another 3-5,000 on top! No WAY was that going to happen but I’m pretty sure it would have been a lot closer to what I was going for.

We didn’t need more food. at. all! But an oyster bar was something the husband reaally really wanted. At $4 per oyster we just couldn’t justify it, especially for everything we already had included in the food cost. But I would have liked to do that for him.

I maybe also would have had a dress custom designed so I could have gotten exactly what I wanted, but I was pretty happy with my dress.

Really though, our wedding was prefect! There isn’t much I would really change and we were very fortunate to get everything we wanted in a budget we could afford. But it is fun to dream!

Movie star quality makeup and decorations.
But in reality, I am doing my own makeup, and the decorations will be limited.

The Venue and most Definitely my Dress!!

Can the honeymoon be included in this budget lol

I would have invited a ton more people, and paid for my party's formal wear.

Other than that, I wouldn't change anything, we had a perfect day.

Food, drinks and music. I would have a combination of live music and DJ and all the food and drinks you could imagine.

Honestly, most of our budget is going to our dream venue. So I think I would use the splurge on the flowers!

Dream venue and honeymoon!

Hire a wedding planner to do everything and go on an extra long honeymoon!
