I’m less than 6 months till my date. We only have the venue confirmed. I hate everything about this so far. All of the decisions. My FH and I are paying for everything ourselves and I’m constantly breaking down about the costs of something. When we first started it was that I wanted a dress for less than $1,000 with alterations (which I still think is really expensive), and of the 8 bridal shops I went to (all second hand shops) only two had options less than $900. The second thing is a venue and all of the restrictions - preferred vendors, alcohol costs, required clean up time. We found a venue but it’s super pricey ($3700) but doesn’t have any restrictions on vendors or curfew or alcohol. Yay, one win.
My most recent break down (today) involves the photographers. We have a guest list of 30 people, yet the cheapest photographer I can find is $2100. No videography, just four hours of photos.
Our wedding is in in south Florida because all of our friends and family are close to there. We recently moved to a Seattle to work. I never “dreamed” of a big day or any of this crap, but every time I go to do something involving this event I’m crying. I honestly feel completely alone and everyone is saying congrats when all I want to do is cry. No part of this has been fun. Everyone wants to chime in their two cents.
I thought I was decided on colors (lilac and navy) but I saw photos recently and they made me nauseous. Everyone thinks purple is the color though of the bridal party so I’m just going with it because it’s too late to change.
We are taking off of work and flying in from Seattle to have the event close to friends and family in Florida. It’s easier to move the two of us then it is 30 people cross country. Has anyone else hated literally everything about their planning?
