In the life of every girl most cherished dream is the dream of a wedding. We imagine what will be the wedding dress, groom, where we’ll go for a honeymoon. And to all managed as dreamed of, you need to pre-planned wedding budget and a little luck. And the example of my wedding, you will learn – how much is a wedding.
Begin, of course, like any girl with a description of the choice of wedding dress. From the budget I have for him was allocated 30 000 – 35 000 $ Because the dress I started looking early enough, the first was not paying attention, that those dresses that I liked, it is not appropriate for the price category, I was convinced that much something corresponding to your liking, I find. But as time went on, and dress well and was not.
One day I was struck by the idea that we can take the dream dress for hire, but had to reject this idea because in most cases, the state of dress was simply deplorable. Yes, and that at least liked, I could not find.
And here, once again, engaged in viewing the wedding dresses on the internet, I accidentally hit the girl on the ad to sell her wedding dress. From the description implied that the dress was wore only once, in perfect condition, moreover, was after evrohimchistki and most importantly, style of dress was one that I like it – a figure hugging top and flared towards the bottom and on top of mind bending plume. When I arrived at the fitting, which once again saw that dress just gorgeous. Agreed with the girl at a price of $ 40,000 that the board vybilos little from the budget, I am not much disturbed. I thought it would be possible to save money on something else, to veil, for example.
Fata should fit the style of the dress, so I wanted something simple, with no extra rhinestones and lace, but it turned out that the color of my dress hard to choose the color veil: too white stands out against my dress of pearl, gold alone is not suitable. I have already begun to despair: not only the color does not fit, so more and the cost of veils was unacceptably high. The average price in the cabin was varied from 4000 to 8000 $
Then I decided to go to market. Who would think, why I had not considered the option of buying a wedding dress on the market, I would say that the issue of quality fabrics and accessories I was very categorical. I’m not talking about what dress should at least like it.
We return to the veil. After lengthy attempts to find something suitable, I finally found what she was looking. She was extremely gentle, and a small pattern of beads on the edges attached to it lightness and elegance, and most importantly, it fits perfectly the color of my wedding dress. The woman, after having taken me an appraising look and said that the veil is worth $ 2,000, but will give it to me for $ 1700 After lengthy auction I bought it for $ 1,200 market is the market.
Tip: You can save on the veil, if you buy on the market. But it is important to remember that the veil should be “lie”, and do not stand a stake. If the market offers a veil from the great designers of the lace from Italy, do not argue with the sellers, but do not believe it, just walk past.
Haircut cost me $ 3,000
On the groom’s suit to save too failed, so here our long search will not describe. The costume cost 12 000 $ shirt and tie – 3 $ 500 Brand shoes at 900 rubles at a discount.
Video, unfortunately does not fit into our budget, so we decided to entrust this function to the parents, and by hiring a professional wedding photographer. Wedding photography cost us a cheap, first – photographer came to our position and slightly lowered the price, and secondly – we decided to limit the number of hours and decided that it will arrange a photo session just for a walk, the rest of the photo essay were guests. As a result, photography services cost us $ 12,000
Since we do no longer fit into our wedding budget, had planned to cut the guest list, leaving only the closest relatives and friends.
The price for a restaurant in the average ranged from $ 2,500 to $ 3,000 per person cheaper was just in a cafe with dining entourage. Still, important enough for us was the fact that we were in the room alone, without foreign guests. Unfortunately, the dining halls come across are either too small or too large, in this case is asked to pay extra for the remaining seats to us nobody hoisted. But then luck turned back toward us and my husband at that time, even the groom, at some student forum found the restaurant Anna Mons. Inside the restaurant is very nice, even if not elegant, and the cost per person was only 1700 rubles per person + $ 3,000 for room rental + $ 3,000 for a wedding cake. To the cost of restaurant yet to be added the cost of drinks, as they tend to go “with them.”
Machine, we chose a long time, or rather a long time I choose. The days flew by like a minute. When to stay a week before the wedding, the groom desperately offered to book anything. But I would only limousine Hummer, the price of which varied in the 7000 – 8000 $ per hour. It was quite expensive.
When we were three days before the wedding and the groom have to accept that in a registry office, we’ll go by taxi, one of the sites (lo!) Rental value of all limousines on the weekend was at a discount of 50%. As a result, silver Hummer 22 seats at $ 4,000 per hour + $ 1,500 for jewelry, has become ours.
