Florist here, girl my budget was $10,000 lol 😂 I had a backyard wedding & it was beautiful. Remember money can’t buy happiness! Focus on the main things like dress, YOUR floral bouquet, Make up/hair, his suit, A GOOD photographer, & the venue. When you look back at pictures, you’re not going to remember how the tables look or the taste of the food. It’s the pictures & how you looked! Enjoy the process & don’t beat yourself up about it. 🫶🏼😊

We got married in a temple in short hills. That was 8k alone to rent. Flowers were 5k, dj 4k, videographer 2k, photographer 3.5k, luckily my dad is a caterer but it was probably about 20k alone on that

Venue & food/drink should equate to 50% of your budget. Try significantly reducing your guest count and finding a smaller, out-of-the box non typical wedding venue to host a modest reception
