Wait for it........ It honestly isn't about what you think. Follow along as we talk about your wedding budget. This is core to your big day. Your budget will determine whether or not you get the wedding of your dreams. Many elements go into the budget and these include;
- The planners fee, (if you're getting a planner)
- Catering
- Vendor fees
- Floral
- Entertainment
- Gown..........
The chart below better illustrates all that needs to be budgeted for.
It is important as a couple to highlight the things that are most important to you and spend the bulk on these. Knowing the type of wedding you want then allows you to calculate a per-person budget. Remember, location is key. Different venues come with different prices. Caterers, decor and entertainment are definitely the big-ticket items.
A significant slice of your budget is directed and dedicated to the
catering.
A wedding planner will keep you within your budget since she has worked with different suppliers and knows the market very well. Of course some costs overlook the budget and this is where the planner is also instrumental.
These include, but are not limited to wedding dress alterations, overtime costs in case you ran past the agreed upon time with vendors, clean up and break down costs, just to mention but a few.
the most important thing is to be smart, plan wisely, and of course get a planner.
