What’s the #1 wedding budget mistake couples make???
You can find tools online that will give a general idea of how to create a wedding budget but those usually paint a broad picture and don’t help you out for your exact location. Prices for weddings will vary based upon your geographic location and also depending on your taste and the style you are looking for.
A good place to start is to discuss your wedding priorities and what means the most to both of you on your day. Discuss who will be contributing financially towards the wedding. Also, determine your guest list as this will be the crucial factor that determines how much of your budget is spent.
We typically say that your venue is usually 40% of your overall budget. Keep that in mind when determining what places you’re looking at along with your guest count. It’s always a good idea to sit down with a local professional who can give you more specific numbers on what things cost in your area.
For our brides, we love getting to sit down and really help them structure their budget to make the most of their money and create the wedding of their dreams. Knowing you have that in place at the start of your wedding planning makes such a difference and helps alleviate so much stress throughout the next months.
