I'm going to jump right in, and will try to keep this from being a book... My fiancé may be switching jobs which would entail a pay cut, so with that I feel guilty in spending tons of money on a wedding now.
The issue is that we have already put down the deposit on the winery. The total cost for the rental is not terrible, we can still afford that... I guess I'm looking for thoughts about maybe going somewhere else to physically get married earlier in the day (just us and the pastor, maybe a couple other people), then maybe going to the winery and just having that be a party. It would save some money, in that we wouldn't need to pay for additional ceremony chairs, waste time between ceremony to cocktail hour, wouldn't need to spend money on ceremony flowers... It's such a hard decision what to do since we were so set on it, but also I was supposed to order my dress in 2 weeks. If we go the party only route, I would just find something cheaper, no more than $500 or so, and I'd have more time to find something. Can I hear your thoughts? Do you have any other suggestions on some cheaper rustic decorations? What are you doing for catering/food that's cost effective but not "pot luck" (winery set up is outside, and also don't want to worry about potential germs and such...). Thanks for reading my chapter, looking forward to seeing what else you ladies have done or what your ideas are ❤️
