Wanda HenryYou may be in a bit of a panic with your budget, but I assure you, it can work! It’s all about priorities, some DIY, and using the resources you have access to. Mentally, it’s about dealing with unrealistic expectations, and being focused on your energy, money, and time, and not those of others.
Wanda HenryAh, we all love to eat, don’t we? And most couples plan to feed their guests at the wedding. I bet you’ve already researched traditional wedding caterers and been shocked by their prices. According to The Knot, the average caterer is $85/per person, including alcohol. Wow! I can’t imagine that kind of money for food and beverages. Let’s break the mold and move away from official caterers.
Wanda HenryI think decor can be one of the easiest or one of the hardest aspects of a budget wedding. Easiest because you can DIY your florals, which can save a lot of money, while it’s harder to DIY your wedding location or wedding dress. What can make it hard is so many great ideas, and with some YouTube searches, you can learn how to do just about any basic decor.
Wanda HenryWhen planning a DIY wedding, having enough help is a huge factor. I know this seems extreme, but having the right help is more important than the budget. If you have a lot of help, $5,000 goes a long way, but even a $10,000 wedding can be tough without it.
