I know this isn't my thing to do...

But I really have to ask a question. I went down my list of vendors and things I did and what I spent, and I was curious to know something from you ladies...

But besides the RH, because we all know that's big money, what vendor did you SPLURGE on? Like instead of doing something small which could have worked for you, you decided to go all out on something. What was it?

Mine was the photographer. I am fickle about my photos and who does them and I adore my photographer right now. But, I'm spending $3500.

My photo/video was almost equal to the florist. Yup...

We spent an obscene amount of $ on our photographer...Nearly $4000 for just an engagement shoot and 10 hours of coverage day of...we spent more than that on albums and such. I don't regret it for a second, my pictures are art and I love our photographers as people, they've become good friends of ours

definitely the Limo. I'm booked for a Bentley and now my friends are suggesting I get a limo bus...I splurged on limos because I want to travel in STYLE that day!!! :

Photo and video.... they were just under 10k combined.

And I definitely spent more on invites than I originally wanted to. The photo/video I feel will be worth it, not so sure about the invites. Oh well.
