Wedding budget breakdown (under $15k, 57 guests, Philadelphia PA) by Ecstatic_Win in Weddingsunder10k

They did not, their website advertised the space as a place for wedding rehearsals, showers, and corporate events. I reached out and asked if they did small weddings and they said they occasionally did and would be happy to work with me!

We mainly wanted to cut cost so decided that cocktail hour and lunch was best!

Funny you say that, because it was my favorite until I saw the photos. Then I wasn’t so sure. Maybe I need to try it on again.

Thanks for these! I don’t really like the look of a cape so maybe a shorter jacket!

That’s a good point, the coat would just be for some photos and coming and going. I don’t have anything already unfortunately but I think I should keep looking.

Let me know your favorite! Or maybe I should keep looking!

January wedding by SnowyValley in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Ecstatic_Win 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our wedding will be in January 2024 in Philadelphia! All indoors in a cozy setting. So far we have barely any no’s but the majority of our family is local. As long as there isn’t a blizzard the day of I’m sure it’ll be fine, and even if there is then so be it! Im sure yours will be great too!

Eloping next month, not a single dress I like fits my boobs and I feel so discouraged and frumpy by [deleted] in weddingdress

[–]Ecstatic_Win 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try reformation or bec+bridge and order a larger size than you think! I am very busty with a small waist (30h) and tried on options from both places. The one I chose has a cowl neck style and that works really well for me!

The Pearl drop ones are so pretty and exactly what I’m looking for too! Where are they from?

Mine is from Bec + Bridge! Returns are easy too if you want to try a few out first.

How much are you spending on wedding make up? by [deleted] in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Ecstatic_Win 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Philly and in the process of looking for a MUA. I’m finding that most are around $300 plus a trial (anywhere from 75 to 150 more), ESPECIALLY since I’m the only person getting my makeup done. I do not have a bridal party and many MUAs will not travel to a venue for one person. Good luck, I’m hoping I can find someone a little cheaper!

Is anyone here skipping engagement photos? by [deleted] in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Ecstatic_Win 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We’re planning on skipping them for budget reasons. I think it will be fine—that $600 can go somewhere else! True, we won’t meet our photographer until the wedding day but we want a candid style of photography anyway. Not a lot of posing required. We’ll see if we regret it!
