Some more things to think about before you start to get to grips with your budget.

Q2 – What do you remember from weddings you have attended?

Think back to weddings of family and friends and see what you remember, good and bad.

Do you remember the invitations, the bridal car, the dress, the flowers, the favours, the cake, the music, the food, the bar and any personal touches?

Hopefully this process will put the wedding into perspective. The elements that you think are crucial may not necessarily increase the success of the day. Would you prefer to cut the budget on some items and spend on the parts that will be remembered by the guests?

Remember also that it is your wedding so you want to be proud of your efforts, as well pleasing your guests. The most important memories of the day should be yours!
