Hello! I'm just a bridesmaid, but my friend is getting married in 6 months and is feeling pretty stressed about it. I'd love any advice that I can filter through and present to her since she's rather too overwhelmed to go onto these websites herself.
Advice on staying on a $3000 budget in particular would be welcome! (Also if anyone in the Rhode Island area knows a good caterer)
a few facts:
+ I believe their guest list is 100+
+ the venue for both ceremony and reception is free, as is the officiant
+ she does not want to compromise on flowers; peonies are the dream for her bouquet (I have no idea how much these will cost in June)
+ wedding is no alcohol
+ her sister is most likely making the wedding cake
+ The venue is pretty drab, so the bride wants it spruced up with decorations but doesn't want them to look "tacky or birthday party-ish"
Never done this bridesmaid thing before so really any advice would be much appreciated to help my friend with her upcoming Big Day!
Thanks!
