How much is everyone spending on Vendors?

I am going to book my RH within the next week which is going to be around 22k, not sure of the final price though becuase I am going to meet with Mr. Russo soon to negotiate! Im sure it wont be less than 20k, that is way easier to type than it is to say or think about! haha FH and I are saving every penny. My dress is about 6k (YIKES) and everything else I look to save on. The dress and RH are the two most important things to me, and the centerpieces that I want seem like they wouldnt be too exspensive! And i already picked out my invitations from Etsy (even though I didnt contact the woman who makes them yet) they are only going to come out to about $375 Also I am looking at single flower bouquets for my BM's even though I have NO CLUE how much that will cost me! I guess I just have to get on the ball and start quoting places!



While I'm writing this, do you think it would be possible to get a bouquet like this? A LITTLE off topic! hahaha.

i don't have much booked

but my Hall was 26,000 and god knows where that number is going to actually wind up... Thanks to my amazing grandparents i have 22 aunts and uncles and a zillion cousins. and on top of that, we are close to 2nd cousins (my mom has about 121 first cousins) yikesssss. These are not people i rarely see. i actually see my HUGE family very frequent.... and My FH has almost the same numbers as me... The wonders of belonging to hispanic families= they leave you broke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thankfully our Best Man is giving us the HM...

Why so curious? You didn't ask anyone else who THEIR vendors are. Why don't you share YOUR vendors first, hmm?
