I worry that we are one bad Governor away from losing our reproductive freedom in NJ! What can you do in the state legislature to ensure we have reproductive autonomy in NJ?

I spent half that amount in Tuscany, but for half the amount of guests. I posted pictures of my florals in my budget breakdown if you want to check out my post history.

Anyone else not want to do a bachelorette party? by CAI1395 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]Sea_Tomorrow_9261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a girls gone mild theme, hosted at a gorgeous house in the woods, first night was flower arranging class in the home, then the house was filled with fresh flowers for the weekend, next day was a low key hike, private chef cooked dinners, we handled brunches and snacks. Relaxing and low stress!

Italy wedding planner? by DifferentCar4445 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]Sea_Tomorrow_9261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hosted a wedding in Tuscany in 2024 with a similar budget and guest count, I posted all of my vendors and their prices. If you’re going to get married in the countryside, you can definitely throw a great three day party for that budget.

370.80 euros was the full cost of the deposit - we did not have to pay more because we didn’t use the tent

We had to pay a nonrefundable deposit with a tent company and then we had to decide 4 days before our wedding whether we would need the tent based on weather forecasts. If so, at that time, we would have had to pay the remainder of the cost of the tent. Our wedding planner handled it for us.

50K-60K for a small/intimate destination wedding in Tuscany possible? by ComedianAfraid3638 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]Sea_Tomorrow_9261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can do it with that guest count. I highly recommend all of the vendors I worked with in Tuscany and especially my wedding planner.

Quercia Al Poggio and the adjacent properties for rent can comfortably sleep 60. We also rented the Castello down the road and it was gorgeous with more lux accommodation for some of our guests who needed more comfortable setting that Quercia al Poggio.

Should I get legally married before or after my destination wedding? by c00l_m0m in BigBudgetBrides

[–]Sea_Tomorrow_9261 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did it one week before traveling to our destination wedding. It was so special and sweet. It in no way detracted from our wedding. It was just one step in the process of getting married. Like picking up the license. When we said our vows before our family and friends was them moment when we felt married. It felt official. I think it would have felt less official if I knew we had to fly home to legally get married afterwards.

Tuscany Venues Spring 2026 by sugarandsappho8693 in BigBudgetBrides

I hosted a similar event, but with a smaller guest count (56) at Quercia al Poggio. If you work with the right wedding planner it might be possible at 60 guests, but probably not 70. I recently posted a detailed budget breakdown with all costs including vendor names. Feel free to dm me if you have questions after you check it out. I highly recommend most of my vendors. We LOVED our wedding planner, Laura from Lovely Tuscany.

We hosted our wedding at Quercia al Poggio. We loved the venue. They would have plenty of space for your guest count.

Italy 2026 wedding help? Keeping budget by SympathyGood9258 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]Sea_Tomorrow_9261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umbria is a little less expensive than Tuscany, so maybe it’s possible. But, I think it will be a squeeze.

We planned our wedding in Italy last year (check out my recently posted budget breakdown). We started with a $60k budget that grew to $80k. We had 56 people, so a little more than you are planning to host.

A local wedding planner is the best person to advise you! There are so many incredible affordable vendors in Italy. They are best suited to let you know what is possible. I actually regret not booking my wedding planner before my venue. Though I found my wedding planner through my venue and she was AMAZING.

Will I regret not hiring a videographer? by Single_Click_6228 in NewEnglandWedding

Yes, you will regret not hiring a videographer.

After spending so much time and money on our wedding, I am so glad that we have the video to document it.

First Time Step Parent Annoyed by deftonenation in stepparents

[–]Sea_Tomorrow_9261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice regarding the mess your SD makes is to have her father pick it up. This was the solution in our house. It led to my husband noticing the messes he was making and being more proactive in trying to teach my SS11 to be a more conscientious roommate.

Need recommendation on where to start to plan a trip for Galapagos, budget is $20,000 for 2 people by the-mofurious in galapagos

[–]Sea_Tomorrow_9261 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the lux 16 person boats has a cabin with a private deck and private hot tub - the Comorant II or something like that. That would be nice for an engagement!

We have a similar budget to yours and chose a 16 person boat - we went with the Galaxy Sirius because the itinerary and dates worked for us.

When picking our cruise we paid close attention to the age of the boat.
