I want a nice party with family and friends.
I wish I could afford an 'over the top' wedding just from the standpoint that money wouldn't matter and I could pick everything I could think of at my wedding - - such as hiring a live band AND a DJ for in-between (we're only having a DJ), offering the guests even more dinner choices (we're doing a 3-option buffet), etc, etc, etc. Also, being able to host a brunch the next day for guests who spent the night in the area. And not having to limit the guest list to the size space that we can afford (150 is still fairly large, but we have to cut back on who we are inviting to get to 150). That all comes to mind as 'over the top' and extravagant.
If I were to win the lottery, that is the type of wedding I would have.
I think we are having a moderate wedding. We have a budget and we have to stick to it so we are making decisions to be able to throw a nice party.

I always wanted to have a very small ceremony and a very formal, sit down dinner. But I also wanted to share the special time will all my friends and family. So we had the best of both worlds.
We had a destination wedding/ceremony for our immediate families (14 people total) with a very very nice sit down dinner after wards. Then a month later we had a big reception for everyone. I couldn't have imagined a better wedding. The wedding/ceremony was very stress free since we didn't have a bridal party. Dinner was very relaxing and since there were only a handful of people, everyone was able to visit with each other. The reception was great because we were able to visit with each guest individually because we were not all hyped up from the ceremony and did not have to do the traditional reception things.
If you want to basically have as little stress as possible without eloping I'd definitely recommend this type of wedding.

We had a very informal wedding, it was exactly what we wanted. Although I think big weddings are beautiful, it was just not our style to do it that way, so we chose a beautiful registry office and had a family ceremony there, followed by a a garden party and BBQ at a private home (we are not talking dusty back yard here, the house belongs to a wealthy person so it was a lovely garden!!) We had time to talk to all of our guests as we kept it small, and basically it was just a fun and relaxed day. I have no regrets about the way we did it.

We had a wedding with our family and friends. Since we wanted a smaller venue for the reception, we could have no more than 200 people total. I think we ended up with 175 and it was perfect! I could not have asked for a better wedding day.

i want a great dress and a train and a veil and fabulous flowers and a country church and the groom in a tux with tails and pictures and church organ music, then dancing and a feast and champaign. Bridesmaid in pink silk and groomsman in pink cumberbund to match. very few guests ( family and closest friends only) Prime rib sit down dinner with all the trimmings and a really special 5 layer cale with rasberry filling and decorated with a pink rose trellis and green leaves and the bride and groom figures under the trellis and then a honeymoon at the country resort where i'd have it. Pink champaign fountains and a bubble blowing machine and small bubble blower and bottle of bubble stuff for each guest to have as we leave. On the table pink linens and candles set on mirrors.

I recently went to an over the top Ritz Carlton wedding. It was lovely, but totally impersonal.
It made me so excited for my fiance and my wedding. It's going to be sweet and charming and filled with personal little details. Granted, it might not have the oppulence of the Ritz, but it will leave guests with the indelible impression of who he and I are...and it will still be elegant and fun without the ridiculous costs of a big fancy wedding. Our families are really excited about it...and so are we!

My husband and I wanted to have our wedding/reception at the NYS Renaissance Faire..with all the beautiful gowns/corsets, huge turkey legs, goblets of mead, jousting..the list is endless..but alas, we couldn't afford it at the time. We did end up having a nice wedding, though. It was fairly small (50 people), but it was lovely all the same.

mine will be informal.
50 guests family from both sides.
it won't be over the top but tasteful.
i'd rather spend the money on the honeymoon.
will be getting married in a church & having reception at the same location.
non traditional.

Traditional wedding is the BEST .
Traditional does not mean BIG FAT. Make it small , call only your loved ones and you will enjoy it the most.
Spend more money on yourself then to ShowCase for others. Traditional procedures don't demand much money.
