Matt and I just had a great wedding planning weekend. Overall it was mostly successful. Because going out there is a trip, we usually schedule all the vendors at once. The food tasted great, we had some wine, and stayed in the room that we’ll be staying in for our wedding (it has heated floors!). We met with our florist and I love her energy.

One thing I have made a judgment call on is in order for us to go with a vendor, I have to have a good feeling about them and each one I have. I’ve just felt a warm feeling. A feeling like they should be a part of my special day.

I do love the florist we picked out. She’s incredibly talented, a great person and even understood what we want. But today, we received a quote and it was almost 4k. $450 was just for the petals that are going to be on the ground. Seriously? Petals that are picked off a rose and are just going to be on dirt and stepped on. For the price of a weekend getaway? No way.

So now I’m looking at how much we can buy on etsy or do ourselves. I swear weddings are too expensive.
