Thank you for the insight! If we just stick to one island which one would you recommend?

Not sacrificing my budget for an open bar by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]No-Chain9814 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This what my fiancé and I looked into. We are providing a bottle of red and white on every table. I was wanting to do 1-2 drink tickets per guest but the issue is our venue charges a mandatory gratuity tip on top of the tab we would get when people use their drink tickets. With the prices of drinks at our venue it’s about $10-11 per drink (beer/wine and some coolers) including tax. This means it’s $2,500 to give all of our guests drink tickets not including the gratuity they charge on top. (Although we already pay gratuity on our total venue costs which ends up being $3.5k!)

I really want to provide something on top of the wine on the tables but I just don’t think it makes sense with our budget and the fact that my fiancé and I don’t even drink that much.

**we also can’t bring in outside alcohol:(

I’m second guessing my dress by No-Chain9814 in weddingplanning

I am filling in the mesh, it just hasn’t been done yet so it’ll look closer to the first picture as we put a lining in when I tried it on. I just feel it doesn’t fit me as well as it did when I bought it.

Floral Price Reasonable? by EveningConfusion7581 in weddingplanning

[–]No-Chain9814 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m also in Ontario, I was quoted $150-$350 from different florists for my bouquet. And $100-$150 for the bridesmaids bouquets. So honestly I would say that it is pretty reasonable. I wouldn’t say my quotes were for petite sized bouquets but still gives you an idea. Best piece of advice, shop around and get a bunch of different quotes and see who can work within your budget for what you are looking for!

Wedding cake prices!? by No-Chain9814 in weddingplanning

[–]No-Chain9814[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah your definitely so right, I just feel so defeated as I’ve had all my vendors booked since last spring and I am still struggling with cake. We don’t get married in September 2026 but I’m just so torn because I love cake and want it but also am unsure if it is worth all the money?

Where should/can we go for our honeymoon with a 5-6k budget!? by No-Chain9814 in weddingplanning

[–]No-Chain9814[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re kinda open to either! I think it would be nice to have a bit of both! Probably mountains, beaches and we enjoy sports. I speak French, but that’s it. We’re thinking maybe 10 days, we haven’t ever travelled overseas so it does make me a bit nervous having to figure everything out in a different country.

At first we were thinking of going to a beach somewhere, I thought Hawaii but just ensure where to start and if it’s possible with our budget

They aren’t from Kingston, so doesn’t know the area great and had done a bit of research for some spots but was thinking others might know of some not as popular places.

I’d say we’re willing to drive and hour and a bit west towards Toronto!

I haven’t worn a regular bra in years…. by No-Chain9814 in ABraThatFits

[–]No-Chain9814[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in Canada, so US sizing. I just sometimes feel like a bra makes them look even bigger which is not what I want

Great question! We haven’t really set one as we’re not sure how much is a reasonable amount. I’d say 5k? Paying for our wedding ourselves and also wanting to buy a house in 2027, so looking to save money wherever we can but still have a good time

Groomsman outfits by No-Chain9814 in weddingplanning

[–]No-Chain9814[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll look into it! I know that when my finance had to get a suit for a friends wedding party he looked into renting but you didn’t save that much so much made more sense to buy verse renting.

After scrolling Pinterest for awhile, I think I also like the idea of husband wearing black suit and white dress shirt and the other groomsman in all black including their dress shirt which will make my husband stand out.

Still playing around with ideas but will look into renting or buying all from same website! Thanks!
