Re: budget breakdown

flowers you can go cheaper....either don't pick one's that are high in price,use all high centerpieces, or go with a vendor who's just not overpriced :D

Dj can also be chaper depending on what package your looking for, some have basic lights thrown in and packages are around $1100

Re: budget breakdown

Re: budget breakdown

well I havent booked much so I can't really help you much but I can say this def try some DIY things I know it wont be saving you alot but there are small little things to think about that in the end you could prob do yourself.
I am def going to try to do my own card box.
The thread on here makes it seem so simple!

Re: budget breakdown

the package i'm looking at with duet is 5000 for photo and video.

The DJ actually sounds like a reasonable price.
Flowers i'm not sure of but like someone above said, you can mix and match high and low CP's to cut costs.

What about:
favors
invitations
tips
etc

$6000.00 for photo/video! You can do much better than that. Don't do chair covers. I'm doing candles for the center pieces rather than flowers......it's saving me a bundle!

i am renting linens bc they just have white photo might be less bc i wont get albums and video will stay around 3000 bc it the style i really want

Re: budget breakdown

OOO Girl that's alot! Especially for photo/video. I'm paying 2200 for photo and video. It includes 8hrs of coverage and an album. I would have to pay extra for an upgraded album. I love their work and their customer service. They did my bff's wedding. I'm very happy with that vendor choice. How many people are you having? You could cut the RH price down. And what DJ are you using? I got a great deal for a lot of things but some stuff I had to bargain and haggle for.
