    Planning on being under:

    Already have:

    Reception venue

    Church (with Priest, Choir and organist - but since I'm in the choir they are also all guests and friends)

    Seamstress

    Looking for:

    Caterer

    Photographer

    Videographer

    HMUA


    DIYing centerpieces and snowflake bouquets, the only flowers will be in the church on the altar - and we will probably just buy premade wreaths and garlands. And DIY or order all the stationary and favors/gifts. (but even if we include the websites/stores for those it would only bring us to 10)

    Under! We have 1 vendor since it's all inclusive. I was going to hire someone to do hair and makeup but I can't bring myself to spend that much on myself when we need gifts for the BP and I needed new breaks and just life stuff.

    Maren, it will be here very soon. Just praying the venue and all of our belongings are not washed away by the hurricane.

    Most likely I will be under. My FMIL is a school principal and knows a lot of people willing to help and chip in. Also most of our wedding we plan to do DIY. The only things we will need a vendor for is really just things we can’t do on our own.

    Definitely under! My venue is providing most things (food, dishes, décor, etc) and it's in an arboretum so lots of flowers naturally.

    My only vendors are: officiant, limo, cake baker, hair stylist, and photographer. So 5 Smiley smile

    We’re getting married in South Carolina so I’m getting all the flowers from Whole Foods. I’m doing smaller mason jar center pieces, and cascading bouquets with burlap. With a lot of greenery too so it makes everything look a little bigger without adding the extra flowers 😊
