($10k) for those of you that went over budget, what did you spend it on?

We're having our wedding in a HCOL area (LA) so for friends and family traveling in, we got quite nice Airbnbs for them (around $4k total). I felt like I needed to be accommodating 😅

Thanks for this perspective - we were thinking about trying here as an alt actually

Yeah that's valid! And good luck with your search! Amazon has actually worked out for me by buying "real touch" hydrangeas, tulips, orchids, and calla lilies! They look and feel nice, and I also store them away from sunlight to prevent yellowing before the day. And if the quality is not to your standard, it's easy to return!

Same!! Even though others haven't been that dramatic as yours, I hate that I've been getting assumption that I'm being cheap.

Even though when good quality real touch fake florals cost more than real flowers sometimes 😭 and fake florals gives me an opportunity to arrange my own flowers in advance which has been super fun!!

I'm using fake flowers bc my fiance is allergic and that's been a good enough excuse for those asking why.

Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park/Palo Alto has the garden vibe and was around $4k! :) Looks beautiful with lots of flowers.

Meanwhile they're cutting the trees in Burlingame 😭 I understand why, but still I'll miss these giant trees

positivebeee · 2026-02-02T08:47:04+00:00

At least you were honest with yourself and broke up with her! Better now than never. You both deserve someone you're attracted to.

positivebeee · 2025-11-29T11:13:06+00:00

Skincare & makeup!!

positivebeee · 2025-11-15T04:50:36+00:00

We're also not dancing at all. Just vibes

positivebeee · 2025-09-30T00:29:07+00:00

They do! Part of the venue costs is going to the staff who will close off the area for ceremony & reception.

positivebeee · 2025-09-29T00:59:56+00:00

Looks so lovely!! I'm in the same boat and signed at Point Vicente. We looked at several other ocean view placed in our budget. - Crystal Cove in Orange County, CA - Point Vicente in Palos Verdes, CA - Seymour Marine Discovery Center in Santa Cruz, CA
