Video: 1150
Photo: 2500 (freelance photojournalist)
Flowers: roughly 3500 for I think 15 centerpieces of very expensive dendrobium orchids. Everywhere quoted me 250 a table, but Laurie is doing them for almost half!, topiaries for the ceremony, my bo-k which is all stephanotis (200), six bm bo-ks all white roses(75 each, but I really only need five, so minus 75 bucks from total), corsages, boutineirres, rose petals and a J and an R made white carnations. Oh, and a big, gaudy piece for when you walk into the mansion.
Wedding bands: 1000
Honeymoon: not sure yet. A week on a private island in the keys. It is between two right now, one for 4900 for the two of us and one for almost double that, but it's twice as amazing, though.
limos: roughly 2000, not sure though, need to talk to my uncle.
BMs: spa day, $100 per person for 5 of them.
GMs: not sure yet.
