Photographer and photo journalist-but the flowers will wind up being more then my quote b/c I only have 15 centerpieces and I think I will need more like 20

Honeymoon!
But so worth it!We actually were one of the few couples I know of that spent about 1/3 of their total budget on the hall. Most people spend closer to 50% - we got a great deal!

Flowers and decor will be the most expensive. We really searched around for our vendors and got great quality vendors for reasonable prices.

But seriously Maxine when I walked into your reception room my breath was taken away because of the fabulousness of the CP's! They were the most gorgeous I have EVER seen!

I can honestly say I don not regret spending that much on them. I swore I would... and I went back and forth for awhile.. but I am SO glad I got the cp's that I did.

Us too. I had no idea this would cost as much as it did, but IMO, it's totally worth it.
