Let Me Be Honest: Your Pinterest Board Costs Six Figures

Let me be honest with you for a minute. I’ve seen the board. The one filled with lush florals, hanging installations, fireworks, champagne walls, designer gowns, private chef moments, and a candlelit reception that looks straight out of a Vogue editorial. I see it every week. I love that you dream big. Here’s the part most brides don’t hear often enough:
That Pinterest board is giving $100,000 wedding. This isn’t a scare tactic. It’s me, your planner bestie, giving you the clarity and confidence to dream and plan with intention.
Pinterest Isn’t the Problem
Pinterest is incredible for inspiration. What it doesn’t show is the price tag behind the vision.
That dreamy outdoor reception with 150 candles per table? Easily $7,000 or more in rentals and staffing. That 12-person wedding party in full glam with custom signage and guest favors? Multiply that by vendors, setup hours, and logistics.
If you’re building a wedding vision based on curated content, which most of us are, you need curated guidance to match. No matter your budget, your day should still feel elevated, thoughtful, and personal to you.
Let’s Talk Real Budget Alignment
Instead of starting with “How much do weddings cost?” (because Google’s average doesn’t apply to your dream), try asking:
What do I care about most?
What kind of experience do I want my guests to have?
Do I want full control or full support?
What can I realistically invest without feeling stressed?
The truth is, a wedding can still feel luxurious without a six-figure investment. But a $25,000 budget won’t create the same results as a $100,000 vision. That’s perfectly okay. It doesn’t mean your dream is too much, it just means we may need to scale certain elements, reimagine others, and prioritize what matters most.

You’re allowed to want a luxury experience. You’re allowed to have style. You’re allowed to want a wedding that looks like “that board.” At the same time, you deserve transparency, intention, and a planner who’s going to turn your inspiration into a real, joy-filled plan.
