BUDGET!

Weddings are definately fun to plan! Deciding on colours, the wedding party, and invites are all 'fun' tasks for a couple to explore. Of course, with any added 'wants', the budget can sometimes get out of control.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind
First, what is the most important thing when it comes to the big day? Do you want memorable photos or videography to be able to gawk over for years to come? Or would you rather splurge on a breathtaking venue?
What are aspects of the wedding that you don't feel will be huge costs? Will you get a limo for the entire wedding party? Do you really need to buy all of the bridesmaid's dresses?
And of course, are family members pitching in to help cover any of the costs?
Many newly married couples are left in debt by their wedding by not sticking to a budget. Trust me, if you shop around you can find the perfect (budget friendly) aspects to add to your day!
