We are also wanting to have a big bridal party, which want in the plans before but he’s made lots of friends since joining the Army and I think we can pull it off now that we both have supportive friends to stand by us.
I’m also wondering if I should rent a reception dress (already have a ceremony dress that I never wore and still love it, but it’s a ball gown and not comfy for dancing in the summer heat). Before eloping we planned to have a winter wedding so I chose that dress to keep me warm. It’s srill strapless but it’s a huge ball gown. Ceremony will be inside so I know I’ll be fine, I’m just worried about comfort.
Lastly, I am wondering what percent of this should be used towards decor? I found an event planner and graphic designer that quoted me about $**** for this style (industrial chic/rustic glam, pics attached). I’m wondering if this is too much? I wanted to DIY at first, but she said she has most of the items I want as decor already, and if she doesn’t she can get them for cheaper than I can since she’s a vendor. Trying not to get scammed here! Decor is very important to us, and we want draping on some walls which can get pretty expensive.
Overall budget of 7,000 if that helps put the decor budget into perspective. Sorry this was so long. Advice is greatly appreciated on any of these topics.
