The Wedding Budget- an educational series
How much money should you spend on your wedding and how should you spend it? Probably two of the biggest and most stressful questions a bride has to answer when it comes to planning her wedding. I often educate my clients about how much things cost today so I thought it would be a good idea to share my advice with everyone.
MY Kate Parker Wedding will have a page about your budget that will show you the industry standard and what % of your overall budget you should expect to pay for each of your vendors. It will show you how your budget compares and will also differentiate a wedding budget for a ballroom or tent wedding. Yes there's a difference in overall cost for a tent wedding and you should know that up front.
I will post each vendor category and explain what you should expect to pay, what should be included in your fees, and how to manage them. There are four overall budgets on MY Kate Parker Wedding and I will touch on some specifics pertaining to an over-the-top wedding budget or a simple and scaled back budget as well.
Everyone will spend their money differently because each bride has different priorities. Some will splurge on their photographer and cut back on their paper products. There's no right or wrong in this department, you just need to be aware of the costs involved and to always be prepared for extra expenses which ALWAYS come up.
More to come tomorrow!
