Cost of wedding

Hello everyone! I was wondering what is the average cost for flowers, photographers, limos and decorations should I expect to be paying. I was originally supposed to have a destination wedding but the last minute I changed my mind and I am VERY clueless and have no idea what I am doing. Thank you

I'm not going to lie... It's expensive!

In all honesty, you can make it as expensive or inexpensive as you want, just beware that everything comes with a price-tag.

What exactly are you looking for because everything is different... for example, high or low centerpieces, band or dj, etc.

what do you have in mind?

I also booked the reception at the Westbury Manor, which I think I got a good deal and we are only having about 100 people. I just have no idea what the average prices for anything else is, especially the flowers and the photographer. I was also wondering how do I pay the westbury manor, do I pay cash, credit card? I am just so clueless.

Re: Cost of wedding

I am spending 15K more than I originally had in mind (mostly due to the RH that I chose), so I've tried to be good about everything else. So I would say for flowers $1,500, photo $3,000, limo $1,000, DJ $1,500. Then there's stationary, dress/alterations, hair/makeup, gifts/favors etc.

This is pretty much what I'd say! It kind of adds up with favors, jewelry, all that little stuff that I just keep finding and can't resist.

These are good quotes for just the basics. All the extras like zap shots, lighting, classic car, shuttle, video, thank yous, etc. won't really fit into that budget though. And don't forget tips!

I agree. Great base prices.
