So I've found my true love (aww, over sappy), found my ceremony & Reception in one place and signed the contract. A date is set! Yay...
Now.... the other major vendors become the focus. DJ, Photography, Florist, Limo, Invitations? I guess it depends on your priorities.
I'm on a budget. As in, I know what I can afford to pay for my wedding is slightly less than the national average, definitely less than LI (Under $25K when you include the honeymoon is a good ballpark to start).
Others out there with me?
If so, I'd love to start a resource of budget-friendly vendors. Those who won't break the bank and/or offer smaller packages while still being incredibly skilled and talented. A lesser price doesn't mean you want vendors who have negative reviews left and right for being difficult to work with.
If there's a list already here - I haven't seen it. So I apologize if I'm duping something because It's gotten lost in posts.

I highly recommend Fade to Black for photo and video and Distinctive Floral Designs for florist. Both are located in Mineola only blocks from each other. Gil from F2B is really great! Tell him your budget and he will def work with you. Just had my appt with Kelly at DFD today and she was so sweet and gave me a great deal on gorgeous bouquets and centerpieces.

I recommend b*urtons for flowers. Its a set price for high/low centerpieces and they dont charge for flower type. For example, my high centerpieces are $100 each, doesnt matter the type flowers. They had the best prices by far and Ive yet to hear any horrible reviews!

Great post! I think a lot of brides on here are on a tight budget and looking for budget-friendly vendors.

Thanks to all those who responded...
I'm hoping to keep this going, not just for myself, but others out there really strict about keeping to a budget (or my conscious will drive me nutz).

I know that Lighthouse photo was willing to work with us with pricing. They also have an a-la-cart items, not just packages.
