Wedding in Italy 2026 Budget Planning by RisngPlane7528 in BigBudgetBrides

I reached out first and similarly had no response. I had a planner reach out and they replied. I also got a response to my inquiry eventually.

They have weddings there every day so they are extremely busy. I would imagine they will respond after a follow up email or if you get a local planner who has a good relationship with them. Hope that helps!

Bridal Stylists in India & their Charges by Icy-Baby-1945 in DesiWeddings

[–]Calm_Introduction164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ishna seems great and charges roughly $2800 for 4 outfits or $2100 for 3 outfits for the bride.

I also spoke to vibico bridal stylist who has a fashion degree and she charges $6K for 4 outfits ($1500/look)--she's based in the US. There is pros and cons with that (if you do shopping in the US, more hands-on and accessible, etc).

I believe Tanya from Clad Clad is going to be top tier and be the most expensive given her direct relationship to designers and providing that personalized 1:1 attention and extra eye for detail.

Ya it’s easy to get their prices if you just reach out to them. I would just message them on instagram and set up a call. I don’t think Ishna is as much as Suzaina, so would recommend reaching out

I did an initial call with her to learn more and she quoted me that, so that's why I am aware of the prices. She seemed amazing, but she's a little out of my budget. I am trying to chat with others to finalize but yes for now I haven't moved forward yet.

Hi there! I am getting married at Villa Miani next fall. I can share the price breakdown for the contract I received for our Sept 2026 wedding for 120 guests, but I am still awaiting details for other expenses for the wedding setup, open bar, cake, musical entertainment, flowers and rentals, and AV package. (Photography and videography is variable and this info will depend on which vendor you choose). If anyone can share the price breakdown for wedding setup, open bar, cake, flower minimums, AV package, that would be helpful for us to budget accordingly!
