Oof, I was quoted about $5k, but I scaled it way back and am just doing bouquets for me and my MOH and corsages for everyone else. I’m doing my own fake flowers for decorations.

I’m still working on them, but I will when they are done!

I'm using dried flowers. It's cheaper and feels less wasteful to me. But I'm having a small wedding 30 people total and I'm the only one with a bouquet. Table decor is mostly lights and little fake candles. So, my idea may not be very practical for you.

Did you think about doing alternatives?

Lanterns, silk flowers, paper flowers, floral rings etc?

I meant to say this is the quote for silk!

Oh yeah, flowers are expensive! Mine is a little over $10k. But that’s because we have a certain vision that we’re not compromising on. It cost more than my venue 😂 We’re scaling back in other categories to make up for the hefty floral tag.

Yes! We def need photos C1!! 😍

Check out Poppy Flowers - saved me a TON

I got a quote for $45k 😂 but went down to $17k. The flowers are going to be insanely gorgeous, and we can afford it, but I’m still just like 😨

Interviewed with Chicago court 2 weeks ago; they decide mid-August. Interviewed with DC judge last week; hear from him by this Friday. Chicago said if I need an answer before August, they'd try to make a decision about me sooner.
Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?

My network is tapped, my mentors are confused why I can’t find anything, my law school’s career services actually gave up on me, I don’t have the money to move to a new place, I have no other support and I can’t even go back to retail because nobody’s hiring out here.

We’re having an Indian wedding on a Sunday with ceremony in the morning, followed by lunch, and then cocktail hour + reception.

Given that the wedding starts early, we will have guests (~30) flying in the day before. What is the expectation in terms of arranging dinner for them? We’re trying to avoid having an additional event Saturday night - any idea on if these guests would need to have food arranged for them by us and what that could look like on a cost effective budget.

Is it worth it to drive to Michigan to get it taken care of there?

Hi everyone - We are thinking of changing our wedding photographer after unsatisfactory engagement photos and unsatisfactory communication (unresponsive after multiple attempts). We paid a $450 retainer which we know will be not refundable. However, we are not sure about other liability as we read our contract and found these 2 clauses (in comments). Please advise! Definitely not happy with her and would like to switch to another one but also want to make sure we make the right move. Thanks!
