I’ve got a question for all the brides-to-be and those who have already tied the knot... any recommendations for wedding videographers? We haven't found anyone yet, and June 1st is creeping up on us fast.
I'm open to hearing about freelancers too, as long as they actually know what they're doing and have some real talent.

Help please.

I found this girl who’s basically just starting out in photography. She'll shoot the whole reception, plus two small albums and one large one for $350... I don't have the cash right now, but I can swing it.

I'm curious about the Bolero band—has anyone actually seen them live at one of their gigs? Any info would be appreciated.🙂

ruggedfox16, that’s the plan. I tracked down the numbers—how far in advance did you book your dress? Honestly, feels way too early to me—the wedding isn't even until October...

gentlewolf69, then there's really no point in driving all that way just for some "tiny savings"—I'd probably burn through the fuel money just getting there anyway. I actually met this wedding planner at a trade show once, and we were chatting about costs—she told me that back in Mostar, prices range from $667 up to $1333 max... so I figured these options would be way cheaper. Honestly, $9,000 for the rental alone feels like a total rip-off to me.

Has anyone here actually had their wedding dress custom-made? If so, where did you go?

ruggedfox16, thanks a ton. Quick question though—did you guys go for the "designer" labels or just stick to the standard stuff? I don't want to sound like a snob, but there’s honestly a massive difference between the high-end pieces and the cheaper ones. With the pricey stuff, the lace doesn't itch against your skin, and the train is way lighter—you don't feel like you're dragging a heavy rug behind you. Still, $3000 is overkill, though $1667 is totally fine... also, at St., they charge extra for little flower girl dresses $133

I need some advice from the ladies here—if any of you have headed to La Perla or Sposa in Mostar to hunt for a wedding dress, could you give me a heads-up on what the price range looks like? I saw a few pieces from Pronovias and M. Mote at St. $3000 but they’re just way too much for my budget. Thanks.
