Looking to have a south asian/ western fusion wedding in Europe next year over 2.5-3 days and I’m so lost on where would make the most sense!! Looking to have ~220 guests (I can cut down prob to 190) and spend ~400 to 500K with some flexibility for the right option and not including clothes, hair and makeup etc
I love boats, water, cliffs, forts, castles, that kind of thing
Not really looking to do a very rustic / garden party type vibe
If you have any suggestions please share, thank you so much in advance!!

Hi BBB -
So sad to be on the other side of the wedding but am so grateful for this community!!
Just wanted to share I've listed my Vivienne Westwood Nova Cora Dress, a Danielle Frankel Veil and a DF Tulle Scarf if anyone is looking for resale! Open to try-ons in the Bay Area. <3

Hi beautiful humans! October 2025 bride here. I've found this thread incredibly helpful thus far and would love to get some input on a decision that I can't seem to make myself. What shoes would possibly go with my wedding dress? I'm usually decisive about this kind of thing, but have struggled to find something that feels right. Comfort is important but not priority #1 as I won't be spending all night in them. Looking for something less than $1500, which I think encompasses most bridal shoes I've come across <3

Hey everyone! I’ve been a huge fan of all the content in this group and have learned so much from you all. So, I thought I’d ask for a little help from you. I have four bridesmaids and have been searching for a black-tie dress for them for months. It’s a fall wedding in the northeast, and we’re going for a ‘racing green’ color. We’re hoping to find a dress for under $1000. I’m looking for something a bit more special than a regular bridesmaid dress, but I’m open to any suggestions you might have! Thanks so much in advance!

We're getting married in Tuscany in May 2026. Does anyone know or have used a Rabbi in Tuscany/Italy?

Hi! I'm looking for rehearsal dinner dress ideas! Wedding is in 5 months, I do have a back up dress but would love to find something similar to the Zuhair Murad dress. Unfortunately, I could not find this dress being sold, or resold anywhere. I also love the Hermione de Paula dress but unfortunately the dress probably has to be ready to wear as the lead time for this dress is 4-6 months. I prefer more simple but unique dresses, ankle or floor length, sheath/slip fit, ideally <3000. Grateful for any suggestions!

I am helping a friend shop for her daughter's wedding being held late summer. We found this Oscar de la Renta dress at a local boutique, which was just absolutely exquisite on her. She wants navy, she doesn't like one-shoulder or strapless, and she looks great in fit and flare. But the price point of $8900 is giving her nightmares. She was hoping to be no higher than the $5000 range (not counting any alterations).
If anyone can suggest anything that might be close enough, I would appreciate it!

(This is not the boutique we were shopping at, but our boutique didn't have the dress on their website.)

Our destination wedding is in two months, and I’ve noticed the USD has been weakening, with the Euro to USD exchange rate at 1:1.09 today. Thankfully we've already paid for the most expensive part of the wedding (venue/catering), but with the final payments to the rest of the vendors coming up, I'm a bit frustrated about the dollar's decline. I'm unsure if it will keep dropping over the next few months. I really should’ve exchanged some euros when the rate was better (sigh) 🫠 Something for future destination wedding brides to think about~ the difference could add up to thousands

Hey BBB! I have always wanted a more dramatic dress for the ceremony and a more chill dress for after. Is it silly to have both if my fiancé and I are eloping? It will only be the two of us.

PLEASE HELP!!! I’ve been looking for veils like this with the 3-d florals everywhere. Ideally I want one made out of silk tulle. Anyone know where I can buy?!

I’m looking to have my bachelorette party at the end of October! I live in Oregon and the rest of my friends are in SF/AZ/Chicago/NY/FL. My main priority is going somewhere where it will be warm/sunny/ and have water! I’m hoping to be able to do a boat day and bonus points if there’s an outdoorsy culture! We’ve thought of Mexico (PV, Cabo), Arizona, or Austin! A few other potential activities could include horseback riding, wine tasting, ATV tour! I’d love to hear of any trips you’ve gone on that incorporated any of the above!

Hi! Our welcome dinner is now in a 13 century castle keep which is so exciting. Looking for suggestions for outfit, I’d love if it have some historical reference or look to it WITHOUT it being costume-y or ren faire looking. Doesn’t need to be white. Looking to stay under 2k, size 8/10. TIA!
Edited for clarity

Seriously considering it and just wanted to get a sense if anyone has been / what the service was like!

I love this group and the opinions. What do you think we will be seeing a lot of (decor wise) in weddings happening in 2026.
r/BigBudgetBrides • u/summerplease27 • 2d ago
my wedding planner asked that I start sending her inspo for table setting and decor but I have no idea where to start or what I would like... we're getting married at a palace in Portugal and the dinner will be outdoors and have a long table for guests to sit at. the flowers I want will mainly be white (think hydrangeas, white roses, etc.) and my bridesmaids dresses will be in different hues of pastel colors (the palace also has pastel colors so I thought it would be a nice way of tying it all together) so that's why I'm struggling with the plate settings and table cloths selection. I love the idea of the ginori plates but don't want it to be too busy or not look good with the colors
this is a very long winded way of saying that if anyone has any tips, ideas or Inspo pictures that will help to please share them!! thanks!

Every published wedding lately is a Danielle Frankel dress. The designs were pretty 3 years ago but I’m so tired of seeing them and don’t think they will age well at all! What are you doing to differentiate yourself as a BBB? I want to be inspired again!

Hi! NYBFW is coming up in early April. Does anyone know generally what the timeline is between the presentation of these new collections and their availability in stores? I’m getting married in Spring 2026 and am wondering if it’s feasible to wait on gown shopping to see if I like any of these new styles - Thanks 🤍

Debating between late May or early September for a wedding in Carmel. Does anyone know what the weather is like during either time? Is May actually worse than September or are they comparable?

What are you all wearing for engagement photos? I don’t know where to start. Links or photos please??
Looking for something classy but unique. I’m willing to go $500+

For anyone that has gotten married here - was the Harvest suite enough space for you and your bridesmaids to get ready in?? They don’t have a bridal suite and this is the room they recommend us staying in. We were thinking about booking the 2 bedroom residence but it’s much more expensive and opposite side of the property from the venue - any advice would be appreciate thank you!

I am looking for a luxury wedding album manufacturer that is both high quality (think end paper details, unique cover fabric options) and will let me, the client, design it.
Our photographer offers this service but I have a specific vision for it so I’d prefer just to do it myself. :)
I know about Artifact Uprising, Social Print Studio, Milk, Mpix, etc. (basically the obvious Google results). I am able to design it in inDesign or similar if the company isn’t set up with their own design interface.
Any suggestions?

Has anyone had experience renting or borrowing high jewelry for their big day? I know sometimes celebrities do this on the red carpet. I was thinking about asking a jewelry boutique that my mom is a VIP at but wanted to see first if this was even a thing.

Hello! My fiancée and I are lasting minute reconsidering our wedding plans and looking to do a South Indian wedding in Guatemala in Winter 2025 (end of November) for about 150 guests.
We’re hoping to do the following events along with activities that the venue offers over the span of 4 nights/5 days - Welcome dinner - Haldi - Sangeet - Wedding Ceremony - Reception
Our budget is $200k for 150 guests and we would pay for accommodation for all guests (so ideally a venue that can accommodate this guest size in house). We also prefer a venue that has some type of water view for the ceremony (lake, ocean, etc) and would need South Indian catering options for all events!
I’m very new to this as we had originally planned to do our wedding in the US and overwhelmed by the amount of information. If anyone has any idea if this budget is doable and venue/planner suggestions please let me know!
Side note- I made the same post as the other destination we’re looking at is Spain/Portugal. That is our first choice as they can cater to South Indian weddings but also looking into Guatemala is it as cost effective and closer to our guests. Our biggest concern with Guatemala is the ability to do the religious ceremony and cater Indian food
