So, I figured I’d jump in here and say something about the whole catering situation... I see everyone talking about prices, and honestly, I feel like I know a thing or two about what’s actually out there after checking some stuff at a local wedding expo. Let me try to make this quick. I have two close friends who both got married recently—both had around 300 guests—and they both went with caterers from out of town, like maybe somewhere down in Texas or something, while the other one used a service closer to her husband's side of the family. The decor? Honestly, it was gorgeous. The table setups, the shade structures, all the little details on the tables... it looked great. But man, everywhere I look online, people are obsessing over these crazy costs. $20 per head? For their weddings, that would have been like $18,000 $0.00, which just doesn't sit right with me. What I really wanted to point out is that they actually paid for their food, and I can't remember the exact math in dollars, but it was around $1000... which was way more reasonable than the quotes I've been seeing from the companies I've looked into. Oh, and just a heads-up—that price included the basic stuff, you know? Like deli meats, cheese, crackers, the usual appetizers... nothing fancy like octopus salad or anything wild. 🙂

Hey ladies, does anyone know if there's a flower wholesaler out in San Francisco or maybe further south toward Memphis or somewhere? And if you've actually picked up stuff from a wholesaler before, are the prices really that much lower than what you'd pay at a regular florist shop? Thanks!
