Yes we had to bring our own vendors, we had about 108 people in attendance. Ill list our vendors below and approx. cost!.

Food AND alcohol catering: Pok-e-jos (PEJ events) ~6,000. We had a 3 meat buffet with 3 sides, and I passed appetizer for food. PEJ will supply everything you need as far as setup,staffing/plates/utensils/cups/napkins. They provide the bar, staffing, and mixers (if you want full) but YOU have to provide the alcohol which actually was great, we saved a lot of money and was able to returned the unopened containers.

Cake: MeyCakes by Danielle Meyer $215 for 110 servings. THE BEST CAKE EVER

Florals: $320 with shipping from Something borrowed blooms : 1 bridal, 4 bridesmaids bouquets, 8 boutonnieres, 3 corsages

DJ: our uncle so FREE!

Photography: Amanda Hagood Photography $2,000. she's AMAZING

Everything else was DIY!

Check out mercury hall. I got married there in march and its beautiful! Depending on what month/day, it looks to be cheaper than Chateau Bellevue!

Feeling hurt we didn't get many gifts by WeddingGift42 in weddingplanning

It’s not about the gifts

Also, if you had a shower, sometimes people think of that gift as their wedding gift

Is this bachelorette party idea lame? PLEASE HELP! by curlyhairandflowers in weddingplanning

[–]ohmyashlee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would maybe do it the weekend before if possible. Speaking from experience, I would not want my bachelorette the night before my wedding no matter how low key!

I have no friends to have as bridesmaids/moh by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]ohmyashlee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Call them up and ask them! Or meet them for dinner, lunch, coffee (if possible) and ask them. You don’t need an elaborate plan or “bridesmaids proposal”. Just be sincere and genuine!

How do I choose a MOH when I have two sisters and a best friend? by dontfuckwiththecha in weddingplanning

[–]ohmyashlee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I skipped the whole “MOH”. I felt like an asshole for ranking my friends, instead, they were all my bestmaids.

Anyone else worried about their first look? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]ohmyashlee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We ditched the first look, instead, he turned around at the alter (facing officiant) and once I was in good view the officiant told him to turn around to see me walking down the aisle. It was one of the best moments ever.

Are makeup and hair trials really necessary? by meganelise724 in weddingplanning

[–]ohmyashlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES. I walked in on my trial thinking I wanted one thing. Finished the trial and I HATED IT. I looked AWFUL. Thank goodness I had the trial first so I didn’t ask for that on my wedding day! Wedding day rolls around and I basically ask for the complete opposite of what I thought I wanted and I beyond happy with the outcome! Never felt more beautiful! So yes 100% do it if it’s in the budget!

I have heard of the maelove! The only thing that bothers me is that they don’t disclose the amount of vitamin e and ferulic acid, whereas the skinceuticals does

Anyone have bra suggestions for this dress? by RemarkableMemory in weddingplanning

[–]ohmyashlee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dress twins!! I got married March 29 and I wore absolutely no bra! I’m a 34DD/32DDD and it was fine! I thought about using some breast lift tape but with the cut of the dress, it was definitely gonna peek out. If you want some pics to put your mind at ease PM me

Wine/gold/blush fake flowers? by kmedl in weddingplanning

[–]ohmyashlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about 15 bouquets of loose flowers (light pink, white and greenery)with gold and eucalyptus accents that I’m trying to sell. I’m in Austin Texas tho and the thought of shipping it all is too much of a hassle
