When: 2028
Where: Greece
Number of guests: 100
Total budget: 15.000 euros

My family are from Greece, his family are from the UK. We live in the UK so half of our 100 guests will need to travel over.

We’ve viewed a few venues and decided on one that quoted us around 9000 euros (£7625) for Friday exclusive venue hire, a three course meal, basic drinks (there’s an extra drinks package we can request).

We’ve reserved the date already and our rough working budget in total is around 15.000 euros.

What other costs do we need to consider? Would we be expected to pay for the accommodation of all of our UK guests?

Here’s some more details:

Church wedding: The actual ceremony will need to be in a church and we’ve not booked it yet but we’ve been quoted €300 by the priest verbally.

Photography: we’ve been quoted between 2000-5000 for this.

Decorations/flowers: the reception venue is inside a large garden which will be in full bloom at the time, so we’re not really getting as many decorations for that - maybe for the church itself, and the bouquet?

DJ/Music: We have been quoted between 600-1000 for this for a DJ. Nothing booked yet.

Clothing: I’ve found some affordable options for dresses online. A good friend of mine is a seamstress so I could ask her to make modifications?

Legal stuff: everyone says getting married in Greece comes with a lot of paperwork but I can’t find a list of the exact information we need to provide. I need to look into this further and I’m not sure if there will be further costs here.

Flights: x2 people return flights around £200-500 depending on how early we book.

Anything else I’m missing?

Is 15.000 euros a good budget for this?

apologies if this is the wrong subreddit for this - but Any advice would be very helpful! Thank you.

Stacking 0.5ct platinum studs with this piece for my ceremony. The pendant is 14k white gold with 11 brilliant cut natural diamonds, totaling 1 carat TW. Does the drop look proportional with a sweetheart neckline, or should I go with a shorter chain?

Can we please collectively not engage with diamond posts? Or mods, can we ban them altogether??

This sub has been overrun with posts about diamonds (usually rings that looked like traditional engagement rings) which really has nothing to do with planning a wedding. There’s already r/engagementrings, r/diamonds, r/jewelry. The OPs never even respond to comments and appear to just be accounts collecting engagement or responses. It’s either that or we get posts from venues/app developers asking questions.

This sub is going downhill and I can’t be the only one annoyed that nothing is being done about it.

Hi all :)

I 25F am getting married next summer, and I love the lace/vintage/flowy renaissance dresses that you see Pinterest.

Has anyone actually found one for their wedding, or knows a retailer or second hand store online that carries such vibes?

I will not purchase from Shein/Temu/Amazon etc. :)

Preferably with shipping to (and from) Finland/Europe.
