A wedding is more than likely going to be the biggest event that you will ever plan in your life.
When you are making such a commitment to the person that you love and plan to spend the rest of your life with, you will want everything to go perfectly and be a day to remember.
Nothing can be as fulfilling and as overwhelming than planning the wedding of your dreams.
It really doesn't matter that type of wedding that you are planning or how many guests that you wish to invite.
You can plan a beautiful wedding that can suit whatever budget you have to work with These days, most couples would prefer to spend the majority of their money on a great honeymoon, but still they want to have a memorable wedding.
Just because you don't have the money to be able to afford the fanciest of everything, you can still have the wedding of your dreams.
People have weddings on a budget every day.
Why should something as small like money put a stop to your dream wedding? It really doesn't have to? With the present economy, just about every wedding is going to be held on a budget.
Perhaps the most important thing that must be done when you are ready to begin planning your wedding is to first create your budget.
Your budget is important because it is almost impossible to know what you can afford for each aspect of the wedding, if you don't give yourself a limit to the overall spending costs.
For most people, creating the budget is the hardest job to do because you want to have the nicest and most memorable wedding that you can afford.
With careful planning you can apportion your budget across the different aspects so you know exactly what you have to spend.
The days when the wedding is paid for by the parents of the bride are practically gone now.
Parents will often contribute to the wedding cost as a gift to the couple, but it is rather rare for parents to cover the whole cost of the wedding as the cost these days exceed the amount they can afford.
Also couples today often prefer to pay for their own weddings because it ensures that they can do it the way they want, without interference, after all they are the 2 people tying the knot! The simplest way to create a budget is by following the split below and apportion the total amount you have to spend into these categories: Reception- 37% Rings- 14% Flowers- 4% Music- 5% Invitations- 2% Bridal Apparel- 6% Photography- 10% Miscellaneous- 8% Honeymoon- 14% Once you have figured out the amount that you can spend on each aspect of the wedding, you can then begin to create a chart that will itemize the list for you.
