Watching this now as my wedding is 2025👏🏻
Comment from : @Maribel_sand

I LOOOOVE THIS! I’m getting married in a year and I don’t want to spend so much money on a wedding and there’s a lot ideas you have in this video I’m already thinking about doing it! So helpful ✨
Comment from : @lusivalentina

very late to the party but i will be having my bridesmaids carry pillar candles they will be on a small plate with a wreath of greens/flowers around them, but i found a particular image on Pinterest that impacted both the bridesmaid dress design and what they carry so i'm rolling with it

Hello, These are very smart and lighthearted ideas I like your attitude and I plan to organize our wedding with the same mindset Congrats and all the best!
Comment from : @krisztinalenart1800

One thing we did at our wedding is have table standees with QR codes on them inviting our guests to upload their photos/videos to our Wedtrove photo space And that was a really great decision because the best photos and videos came from our guests :)
Comment from : @Madison-p9s

These are all great As a over 40 bride to be this is what we are doing Making it more personal and throwing out a bunch of stuff that is just unnecessary to me and my FH No need to apologize ever It's your day
Comment from : @zafiro80

Girl, I love how from the jump you say “ you’re not asking for those opinions” Yass Yass all day Thank you for saying that
Comment from : @msblondeasian

Surprised your AirBNB allowed that - usually can't have any parties or gatherings
Comment from : @nikkiprobert8544

What is your budget like?

I'm currently planning for my wedding and your enthusiasm and ideas have really gotten me excited for mine! I watched both of your "10 things" videos and they were both incredibly helpful and inspiring so thank you!

You have a beautiful vibe keep sharing it to the world xx thank you for all the tips I wrote down so many of them Fav: the surfboard!! We go longboarding all the time, what a beautiful idea !! From your new sub in New Zealand :)
Comment from : @skyehampton1559

Michel question:brbrI’m planning my wedding and really trying to cut costsbrbrSince you are going to be getting ready before your wedding, who will help you decorate?
Comment from : @Evolvedfitfacts

Love the surf board guest board idea
Comment from : @drmajidahsmith9006

The surf board idea is great Friends of mine had us sign vintage skies to hang on their wall, really cool The signatures were on the front though
Comment from : @larissa6417

Love this! I have gone to many weddings on a budget over the years They are memorable in the best way Also, people love to help get things ready ahead of time The most important part of a wedding is the memories
Comment from : @emclectic_k

Your wedding sounds like such a VIBE!!! Love you videos 😘
Comment from : @ameliaduden488

A taco truck sounds awesome I love the cake idea that you have in mind All great plans!
Comment from : @KimsaLittleofAlot

You can password-lock most wedding websites! The website itself would still be Google-able, but you can give invited guests a code in order for them to actually access the information
Comment from : @sofiasara98

I’m planning my wedding too so I really like these videos! 😊
Comment from : @Julez128

This sounds so chill, especially for round two! I love it!
Comment from : @RachieSSays

You are one smart cookie to rent an AirB-N-B to host your rehearsal dinner, etc -- who wants to sit in a "stuffy/noisy/expensive" restaurant when you can have "your own venue" -- that's win-win!!!! The more I watch this video the more I love your ideas! You should be a wedding/event planner because you are so creative & good at what you do -- just saying
Comment from : @warriorcherylann3801

Not even a specific suggestion for Michel but in general I love giving this idea- the BEST "favor" I have ever gotten at a wedding was a professional quality portrait of my husband and I all dressed up The couple had a photographer with an assistant already, so they worked it out with them that the assistant would spend an hour or so by a nice looking background just letting people line up for quick photos They were printing them out there, but it would also be nice to send around via email after the fact Something that everyone actually wants and no waste!
Comment from : @erikaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Things we did - our own food (mixture of salads and meat on bbq smoker), bought/provided our own booze, hired an Airbnb that was both accommodation for the bridal party and close family venue for the wedding as well as reception and pre and post mini events, family friend was our celebrant, own music, mother in law made the fruit cake and cupcakes, v budget honeymoon Splurged on my dress, flowers, and photographer which were all worth it imo 🙂 All up even with all those things still cost 10k for 50 guests
Comment from : @claudiajade624

Part two!!!!
Comment from : @abigailwise5982

Love the wedding content
Comment from : @isabellatauriello1742

I think your cake idea will be more than 10 min It seems easier than it is so I’d say expect at least 20-30 min but I’d prepare more for around 30 min or a little more
Comment from : @atbvip

Just a fun suggestion for your bud vase idea You love thrifting So since your keeping the numbers low It maybe and idea to thrift bud vase options I know most folks keep things very matching However your clever so I bet you could do a few thrift trips for these between Cali & Tx Or you could make some at the pottery places you enjoy brSince I have been around since the planning and diy of your first wedding This wedding will be so much more enjoyable for you brFyi: Remember to do the group photos with your guests You previously was so exhausted from trying to visit everyone and do picturesbrSo much love and well wishes to you
Comment from : @carriecutshall-madison843

Comment from : @4321ineke

I love this 🥲
Comment from : @misssnobooty

You can do a password protected wedding website!!
Comment from : @legallyblondiee

I'm just saying go to trader Joe's and buy your flowers for your wedding I spent like less than $50 made my own I'd skip on the wedding sign in book/decor
Comment from : @AdorkableLiz77

My brother in law just did several of the things that you are planning: wedding venue was an AirB&B, they did digital invitations, and had an afterparty with a s'mores bar! Side note: the wedding was small, romantic, and awesome! Everyone felt like they had a chance to actually be with the couple more intimately I can't wait to hear more about your plans - so fun!
Comment from : @joaniedowell1258

These are great ideas❤
Comment from : @katiemvp6536

OBSESSED with the surf board idea ❤
Comment from : @MelMackey

I'm a 2022 bride but I still want ALL the wedding content👰‍♀️❤🤵
Comment from : @sugartub

I love your ideas Both of my sons have married in the past 2 years Tacos and donuts were a huge hit with the guests Bouquet ideas; have each bridesmaid carry ONE flower that matches your bouquet Simple, sweet and inexpensive Both sons/wives opted for a simple rehearsal dinner Outdoors, fun and relaxing Your ideas are fantastic and budget friendly Congratulations 🎉
Comment from : @susanmills3075

We also did virtual invites! Saves so much money 👍🏼✨ and is cute! Congrats 😊
Comment from : @christyalexia

I think you are so wise to come up with so many wonderful ideas to save moneybut they are also unique and suit you and Jordy to a tee! Not everyone can afford really expensive weddings and this video shows that a wonderful wedding can be had without spending a truck load of money Way to go!
Comment from : @cheri7384

You can just do a catered food and rent a place for like $10K
Comment from : @sarahb2731

I LOVE all your ideas!! So fun 🥰 brbrI just got married in July and used potted plants as flower arrangements in some places (eg welcome sign/ or potted Orchids on the bar) I loved that I didn’t have so many “single-use” flowers and could plant them in my garden or use them as decoration in my house later Also a really cute reminder everytime you see those flowers and they grow just like your marriage :)! brWe used the bridesmaid bouquets on the gift table and guest book table!
Comment from : @friedab3574

Hi Michel, you might already be planning to do this but will you please make a playlist for your wedding prep videos? I know that I will need to come back to this in a year or two 😊❤
Comment from : @ggpink9044

We did a lot of the same for our wedding! We had a Mexican restaurant cater, which was about $10 a person, we also had donuts for dessert, a friend made us a small cake to cut into, and we had a wood sign of our state as our guest book that is displayed in our home Love your ideas!
Comment from : @melissaseifert7969

Love your ideas and love that you're making it your own FYI you can order your flowers at the farmers market and you'll spend like $300 of bouquets flowers for the tables, the boutonniers That's what we do for our weddings We use the old town Temecula Farmers market and there's a guy there that's an awesome florist 🥰
Comment from : @BumBeaDIYs

do you have a link to those super cute bridesmaid sweatshirts?? Love all of these ideas!
Comment from : @ashley-reeve

For privacy try avoid using your names when naming all your files with wedding details ie PDF's, videos, etc Creepers still might be able to find those online brbrSide note I LOVE all your ideas We just celebrated our one year anniversary Happy wedding planning 🥳🤍
Comment from : @AdrieneRenae

Such great ideas - make it your day with what makes the two of you happy
Comment from : @melitamacchi2517

Bravo!!!
Comment from : @maebenson6596

Love all of your ideas Sounds like it will be such a fun weddingbrAs an older woman , who has hosted a few weddings, traditional weddings are so stressful …
Comment from : @susangodfrey7283

A floral wrist band on the bridesmaids usually looks beautiful
Comment from : @faziletthaha7436

Part 2 and more wedding budget content!! Love it
Comment from : @sharoset

I love these budget tips I’m saving this video for my redemption marriage someday, God willing The only question I have is if Marjorie has offered to make a cake for your wedding This is more of a compliment to her talent for making beautiful cakes Would you allow her to if she offered? Love all these ideas You’re doing it your way Simple yet elegant🌺
Comment from : @CS-rx7sf

Part two sounds great your ideas a wonderful bless you both
Comment from : @gloriaeren8717

I think virtual invites is a great idea! I'd just make sure to schedule in some calls to some more elderly or less tech savvy family members and friends to make sure they get their invite :)
Comment from : @sarahlittell448

You know, I have no intention on getting married, but I still love these videos! I feel like these tips are good for any kind of event, they spark ideas It's also fun to see how you're doing things your way!
Comment from : @thattinyfox

I love hearing about your wedding plans I wish I was brave enough or creative enough to think of these things when I got married in 2015
Comment from : @eringraham2344

I just had my best friend’s wedding All of us bridesmaids had bouquets However, for the center pieces of each table, they had DIYed lanterns with colorful wooden flowers so there weren’t flowers for decor
Comment from : @libbymorehouse4466

These are fantastic ideas! ❤
Comment from : @tara1638

I am not a bride, not even close, but I love these videos! I’m so happy for you ❤❤
Comment from : @dyllannedeischer4758

I love all your plans, doing an awesome job! Keep being awesome 😊
Comment from : @jamesfv1

I would love to have these options at my own wedding if I'm honest because ur setup for the food sounds like so much fun!!!
Comment from : @RavenStorm1031

OUTSTANDING IDEAS, MICHEL IT WILL BE A WEDDING THAT PEOPLE WILL ENJOY AND REMEMBER FOR A LONG TIME I LOVE THE IDEA OF THE CAKE AND THE SIMPLICITY OF THE WHOLE WEDDING PROUD OF YOU AND JORDY HOPING THE BEST FOR BOTH OF YOU YOU GUYD DESERVE IT
Comment from : @terepardo

I first met you married & sad, yes you were sad in your eyes, now your eyes are joyful, treat it as your real wedding, the one you deserve until death parts you ❤️❤️
Comment from : @nikkimclay5474

Love all these ideas! I will say for the cake to practice before you do it for your wedding if you decide to do it Get a cheap cake and just play with it so you’re not trying it for the first time at your wedding
Comment from : @ashleywhitehead8985

HERE IS MY ADVICEum and this is from a very spiritual perspectivedo not wear your hair up ,like your first wedding its bad luckyou are absolutely the most beautiful woman ever, do a half up do or all down
Comment from : @Shanny-m3z

Love all your ideas! It’s your wedding, do what makes you happy 🎉❤😊
Comment from : @donnanaranjo2091

This is round 1 with your forever ;) <3
Comment from : @deniseolmstead6415

Oh maybe consider for the bridemaids to hold a single stem rose I saw this at a wedding once and it was so elegantno ribbons, nothing but the rose stemit gave them something to do with their hands, looked so elegant and matched the flowers in the bride's bouquetyou could do any flower that way and it would be beautiful I think you can buy single roses at some flower martsafter the ceremony they were placed along the table in front of the bride and groom sort of criss crossed to make a pretty little accent
Comment from : @deniseolmstead6415

Great ideas and fun to see your process I little suggestion for your cake diy from a cake maker- if you’ve got a chance to do a test run, for a friends birthday or an event, try it out beforehand It’ll make the process easier on the day It’ll highlight any snags you might face on the day and you’ll know exactly what tools etc you’ll need Obviously change up colour schemes or whatever, it’ll give you a sneak peek also at the florals u intend to use too 👍
Comment from : @kerrilee1943

I’ve seen the bridesmaids/matron of honor carry simple bouquets After the ceremony they break them down and place them in the bud vases for the table decor
Comment from : @janeoshea4290

I love all of these ideas My favorite is the surf board Your wedding seems like it will be very fun, different with elegance… Love the cake too
Comment from : @MauriceK-fr9wh

I have also seen very pretty dried flower art prints from bouquets/single flowers from you &/or your bridesmaids You could DIY press them into pottery 😅brbrAs is - you're going to have the most wonderful wedding!
Comment from : @notreallifetravel

Michel, I am GenX Share as much as you like Everyone is rooting for you Pay any crabby people no mind You deserve all the beautiful things that are happening for you now
Comment from : @grantgurl

Just curious how Jordy and his family feel about the wedding plans, are they cool about some of the non traditional ideas? Even tho they are not paying maybe they want to be included in some of the planning and have ideas they want to contribute since it’s their sons first wedding 🎉
Comment from : @mccla4216

Would love a part 2 These are excellent ideas! 🎉🎉 why not use the same air bnb for your after-party? 😂 and it has the fire pits you wanted Love the content❤
Comment from : @riannar4394

hi michel, i found you when i was in high school and was OBSESSED with wedding planning for some reason, so i just wanted to share that i love wedding content and i’m sure many of your subscribers love it too talk about it as much as you want it’s not annoying 😊
