To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish till death do us part.
Weddings are about celebration of love and togetherness. A wedding is a special occasion where the couple gets married and shares the joy with their near and dear ones. What precedes this beautiful fiesta is a whole lot of planning and preparations to make sure everything is just right. Planning a wedding is a huge process and involves a lot of patience and understanding. Many of the times the bride and the groom have a limited budget for the wedding and hence planning the wedding can become a daunting task. However with some simple tips and suggestions, planning a wedding on a budget can be a cakewalk.
Weddings are getting fancier and the wedding budgets getting higher and higher, people are lured by images of the extravagant celebrity weddings as well. It is but obvious for many people to wish for an extravagant wedding, however not everyone can afford the costliest wedding venue or the ultimate designer wedding dress that costs as much as the other wedding expenses combined! Every couple has a specific image of their wedding in their minds and hence no two weddings can be planned in a same fashion.
While planning your one of the first things that you need to do is figure out how much money you are willing to shell out for your weddings. A wedding planning budget is a must. No matter how wedding, big or small it is - you have to quote a certain estimate for your wedding. Once you quote the budget, plan the other things accordingly. Fix the budget and let the theme and other details follow accordingly, if you just start splurging as and when you like things, you might end up crossing your budget. In case your parents are chipping in as well, it is always better to sit down and chalk out a proper plan as to who will pay for what. In case you are not sure how to go about it, there exists traditional wedding etiquette that decides who pays for what.
While planning the wedding budget, it is always easier if you divide the expenses in categories. For example divide expenses in categories like catering, trousseau, flowers, other decorations, wedding hall and so on. Figure out what matters the most to you and distribute your budget accordingly. Another factor that will play a major role in the wedding planning budget will be the length of the guest list. If you have a considerably large wedding list, then the catering expenses will be soaring for sure. On the other hand if you have a small guest list, you save on the catering money and use to get a better hall, a better band or may be a better wedding dress!
Everyone wants his or her wedding to be a special and memorable occasion and hence making most of the budget is the key to successful wedding planning. Remember that it is not the money spent that decides the beauty of the wedding. In case the budget is too tight then remember that the only thing that matters is the fact that you are marrying each other.
It doesn’t matter if you buy your wedding dress off the rack, or choose the lilies from your own garden to make the bouquets or get married in the local church. The amount of beauty and warmth that true love can bring to a wedding ceremony is always priceless!
