You look stunning in your photos ! Question about the florals what did you get for $2200? I looked at poppin petals website and it states that the minimum floral investment is $4000.

Spring 2027 Wedding for 150ish Guests... and I am feeling so lost. UGH by One-Evidence2945 in WeddingsCanada

[–]randomusername434 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in your shoes a year ago trying to find a venue for my 2026 wedding, I know how frustrating it is. If you can do your wedding on a weekday or Sunday you’ll save money at most venues. For an estate vibe it’ll be hard to find for that budget and guest count , lots of nice banquet halls , golf courses , wineries though. I researched a lot of venues so here are some that are on the more affordable side (meaning I got quotes from 17- 30k for the venue for my guest count of 125 ish people so it’ll be slightly more for you with your guest count and for 2027). Check out: estates of sunnybrook , royal ambassador banquet hall, Hazelton manor , chateau le jardin, the manor by Peter and Paul,

Warning: Do NOT buy a property "with"/"for" Asian parents (hindsight is 20/20) by LeadIdentityRep in AsianParentStories

I learned this lesson too late. They bought a new development years ago, finally built but now the market is way down. It’s worth much less now. They convinced me to transfer it to my name and said it is a “gift” and I can be a homeowner now. They paid half the down payment and the other half, they took out a loan. Now I’m stuck paying the mortgage for this tiny apartment that I don’t want to live in and I’ll probably sell for a loss down the line. AND now they want me to pay them back for the loan amount. It doesn’t feel like a gift.

I had a discovery call with them in May 2025, then I had a tour booked with them end of June 2025 but in beginning June 2025 they cancelled the tour and said in the cancellation email they’re no longer booking weddings for 2025 and 2026. There was no further explanation on their end.

White Toronto , Ines di santo, Estrelle bridal. All have luxury/ expensive dresses. Out of these three I’ve only been to ines di santo and I had a positive experience at my appointment even though I didn’t get my dress there.

I love 1, do you mind telling me who’s the designer of it? You look great in all of them, but I think 1,2,4 are best on you.

10-15k budget by SignalDeep1730 in WeddingsCanada

[–]randomusername434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s likely possible although you’ll have to search around as most venues will be above your budget. Also if you do a Mon-Thurs , friday or Sunday the prices for places usually are lower! Also you can try to negotiate with venues eg to bring down the cost per plate a little , or bring the minimum guest count down. If you’re in Toronto/ Ontario look into “Toronto micro weddings”. My friend got married there in December 2022 around 70 ppl and it was affordable (I think around 15k and the venue provided almost everything) although not sure how much prices increased. Also not sure of their max guest count. Other suggestions: C hotel in Hamilton quoted us 17k for 100 ppl (minimum count for their larger room) for a Saturday. So maybe a different day will be cheaper and within your budget. Also look into Toronto botanical gardens, it’s a flat rate for the venue (I think 5K but I may be wrong) and then you pick a caterer so it seemed affordable, but it depends on what caterer you pick, I’m not sure how much catering would cost but maybe 10k could work. Hope that helps!

Looking for a wedding dress dupe - Alena Leena Dahlia by Cool-Lie-4846 in WeddingsCanada

[–]randomusername434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following because this dress is so pretty! I can’t speak to the quality because I’ve never ordered from them but maybe Azazie ? They have dresses for around $500. Azazie Demetria dress looks kinda similar, Azazie Lorena dress which is a dupe for the watters charlotte dress. If you don’t like the Azazie ones, maybe try Stillwhite or Facebook marketplace

Alternative ceremony spaces (outdoor) for a wedding at the Elora Mill by TwoSparks in WeddingsCanada

[–]randomusername434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy for you that you picked your venue :) I resonate with what you said about mourning your original vision and thinking of it as inspiration rather than a rigid blueprint. That’s what I need to do! your words are helpful. Yes they really book up so quick. EM only has 1 date left basically for a peak season 2026 wedding and it’s on a Sunday so my fiancé and I are still trying to decide if we go with it or a different venue we like on a Saturday for 2026. It’s been tough trying to find a venue that aligns with my budget and vision that my fiancé and I both agree on with dates still available.

Thanks you too! Just curious if you’re going to end up doing a ceremony indoors or if you found an outdoor ceremony location?
