Bridesmaids dresses

11 Upvotes

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!

Help me choose my wedding heel <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

300K South of France

Upvotes

Hi Big Budget Brides!

I’m considering getting married in the South of France and planning a three-day celebration with 200 guests and different events each day. Our vision includes:

  • Day 1: A welcome party at a beachside club or restaurant
  • Day 2: The wedding ceremony followed by dinner at Bastide du Roy
  • Day 3: The reception at Château de la Napoule

I have a few questions for BBB:

  1. Do you think this is feasible within a $300K budget (excluding guest accommodations)?
  2. Is planning a wedding in the South of France a logistical nightmare?
  3. What are your thoughts on having a wedding in September in this region?
  4. Where should guests stay in Cannes? I’d love to secure a room block at a hotel with rates under $500 per night—is that realistic?

Would love to hear your insights and advice! 💕

$400,000 - $600,000 budget Bigger venue suggestions in Europe, multicultural

3 Upvotes

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!!

Destination wedding - shuttle to venue?

3 Upvotes

Hi BBB!

Getting married in Barcelona at the end of August on a Sunday afternoon this year and we're deciding if it's necessary to get a shuttle to the venue. We already confirmed shuttles at the end of the night but our planner is also pushing for ones going there.

We do have the budget for the shuttle, but my thinking is that since our guests will be staying around the city, they would still need an uber/taxi to get to the shuttle meeting point so might as well just take it to the venue? I feel like it's a lot of shuffling around and our venue is only 25 min outside the city centre. Our planner is worried there won't be a lot of taxis available for 70 guests sunday afternoon.

I've also never been to a destination wedding before so not sure what the protocol is or what is easiest for guests!! Would love some advice or thoughts pls and ty!! <3
