Pick your budget first. If you start with what pops on line you would think everyone spends over $60k. Thousands of people get married every week for way less. You may have to adjust your expectation. do more sourcing ( people pay to be listed on all those wedding sites, lots of small, great vendors not listed but you have to search harder to find them. Setting your budget is actually freeing.
Think - do I need fancy save the date / invitations or 50% off printed at Walgreens ( with addressed envelops) for a fraction of the cost just fine with me. Spend your money where it counts. JJHouse was the one low cost find for bridesmaids dressess that came from a wedding site that I would recommend.
You can do this. BtW the wedding sub on Reddit people regularly post pictures and budget breakout of their 15k and weddings in addition to the 50k and over ones. You can do this !
I find motivation in anything cheap.
It's so insane. Having just got married, I can only say we did have our dream wedding.. and because of that we went way over budget lol. It's gonna be one or the other. In some ways, it would have been smarter to elope, but it was truly the best day of my life so I'm choosing to live with no regrets and just embrace the fact that we had everythign we wanted!
