For these weddings, there's 3 bridesmaids, 60 guests, and needing to take place in Victoria, Canada.
For the splurge wedding, we start off with a Vera Wang wedding dress ($18,000) and some Michael Kors emerald green shoes ($244.95), an emerald cocktail ring ($16,598), and emerald earrings (540). For the bridesmaids, lovely babydoll gowns from Russia ($739 each, $2,217 for 3), and their gift, emerald earrings ($499 each, $1,497 for 3).
I love the invites ($36 each, $1,080 for 30) from Dochelle. The ceremony and reception take place at the Hatley Castle gardens ($4,000), 'cuz what's better than emerald green manicured lawns? For the ceremony itself, a lovely hand painted aisle runner with a custom monogram for the couple from the Original Runner Company ($600). For the reception, the tables decorated with lovely crystal emerald vases ($246.90 each, 6 for $1,481.40), and crystal green stemware ($135 each, 60 for $8,100).
Now, for the contrast! A lovely gown from Alfred Angelo ($1,000), Max Studio shoes ($89.99), a faux emerald cocktail ring ($79.95), and faux emerald earrings ($79). The bridesmaids in uber cute dresses from Forever 21 ($30 each, 3 for $90), and their gift, some lovely faux emerald studs from QVC ($31.32 each, 3 for $93.96).
The invites are a light emerald green with jewel, just like the expensive invites, but at only $75.80 for 100 from the LC Design Company. For the ceremony and reception, the famous Butchart Gardens ($899). The aisle runner a real steal at $125 from Aisles with Style. Vases, just colored cut glass, $19 each (6 for $114). And the stemware, very lovely, from Table and Home ($20 each, 60 for $1,200).
