Planning your wedding- the budget
When most couples plan their wedding day the most important factor is the budget. Take on any wedding planner and one of the first questions they ask you is how much you are planning to spend.
Most people have a figure in mind when they begin. But where do they get this figure from? The average cost of a wedding in the UK is £11,000, it is important, however, to remember that you can get married for a few hundred pounds, but on the other hand your costs can spiral out of control if you don’t plan your wedding day and budget for it properly.
So you’ve got your figure in mind, now you need to look at the most expensive elements of your wedding day and get real quotes for them. You can try approaching shops for quotes, the internet is a useful tool for pricing your wedding. A wedding planner can help you estimate the budget, but you must remember to take their cost into account in the budget!! These include the catering, hiring the venue, the honeymoon and the brides dress. Once these have an approximate figure work on the rest of your wedding planner list, things such as the flowers, the entertainment, transport, photographer, the cake and of course the rest of the families outfits.
Once you have broken your budget down and have a rough idea of costs you will have a better idea of a realistic cost of planning your wedding. Your wedding planning is not finished here, as time progresses costs may increase and you must keep fine tuning your budget.
