As a Russian, I think those prices are insane. And this beautiful girl is doing all she can to minimize them already, which is saying a lot. The discounts, the DIYs, the logistic solutions – and you are at almost 30k despite all this effort. Here in Russia a wedding with this budget would be a luxurious two-day party with ball gowns situation.
30,000 bloody hell that’s without your dress, shoes, etc. just as well your mum and dad are rich, you deserve this. 🌹🌹🌹🇦🇺
All of you negative people who are commenting on how much her wedding is costing her need to be quiet. Jordy and her are paying for the entire wedding themselves, so if they want to spend $100,000 on a wedding, it is their prerogative.
If they quote you a price why do you have to tip them? Isn’t everything included in the price they give? Never heard of tipping a set price??
I know you often comment that this is your second wedding in five years and you experience guilt about people buying gifts, etc. But this is Jordie's first wedding, isn't it? I don't think people would begrudge you doing any of those things that you feel …. just a thought … maybe don't dwell on this being your second wedding, I'm willing to bet most people don't feel about it how you do, but maybe focus on that this is Jordy's first and so his friends and family would just be happy to celebrate you guys
… just a thought.
100-120 people is considered a small wedding? 😯 wow was not expecting that. I got married in October and where I live this would be a big wedding 😄 oh and also- did you choose wedding bands? You haven’t mentioned 💍 in your budget, I was just wondering. Love following your journey, thank you for taking us along
Question – what do you use to create your mood boards? What program? Thanks !!!
How much was your dress?
I’m planning a wedding and had the same experience lol. Planned for $20,000 and quickly turned into $30,000
thanks for sharing your exact budget! my fiance and I are currently planning at the beginning stages of wedding planning and trying to decide the type of venue and how many guests we'd like. so many vendors will not get you the cost upfront and it's SO helpful to have a REALISTIC idea of what all of these details will cost. I've binged all of Jamie's videos and would LOVE to see you do a collab on the process after or before your day!! <3
Holyyyy! Thats a lot of money😮😮😮😮thank you for being honest and open… ❤ i am so glad i could do mine for under $8,000…but that also was in 2018… i bet your day will be beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤ much love xo
@MichelJanse !!! Long time viewer here. I know you'll say "please don't", but would it be okay if viewers added a little something to your honeymoon fund?
I love how much the word "steamy" was used to describe potential photos. LIVE 👏🏼 YOUR 👏🏼 LIFE 👏🏼 GURLLLL 🙌🏼
Quite shocked that 30k is considered a budget wedding. There were quite a few expenses not included too (wedding attire, rings, honeymoon and rehearsal dinner etc.) so I’m guessing the final cost of the wedding will be quite a bit more…
We got married in 2008, our wedding was 7k which included the food, full bar, venue, tuxes, my dress, my ring, dj. My parents paid 5k of it, there was roughly 60 people. Our honeymoon was in San Francisco and that was about 3k for 2 days.
Loveeee your videos and honesty as always!! Please don't take my comment the wrong way, just want to share an observation. Oh wow, I'm soooo surprised by your prices to be honest. We did our wedding last year in California Wine Country proper at a winery (booked out the entire winery for a full evening) with a Michelin-Starred Chef for dinner catering and my pricing (with all the vendors) was just a touch more expensive than yours (~$50k). Our wedding guest list was approximately 110 people. I know anything wine country is expensive but looking at your budget, it looks like your wedding seems pretty pricey.
I just got engaged on Thanksgiving! I am so excited but clueless as to where to begin with planning!! Would you be able to do a video about how to start wedding planning? Like a rough structure?
Might want to remember a great photo of just you in your wedding dress in a beautiful photo op! Something I wish I had after all the wonderful photos with others. (Loved looking back on a photo of just me and my dad as well.)
Have you thought about doing your boudoir shoot the day after your wedding? I'm unsure if you're both 'wait till after marriage' cuties but it could be more comfortable to cross that bridge in private before the photographer suggests like shirtless in lingerie side boob or from behind options, and the wedding day is already stressful enough as it is. Then again you may be up for the 'in the moment rush of excitement' kind of photos.
Not gonna lie….as a still single girl, those figures made me just about choke to death. I mean, I know weddings are expensive, but it makes the idea of just going to the court house look really nice. 😂
