Not one couple ever in the history of planning a wedding has been excited to plan their wedding budget. It\u2019s not a thing. There are no champagne glasses brought out when you get to the end of the monumental task. Should there be? Our wedding planning team sure thinks so!<\/p>\n
Darcy, our lead wedding planner at Easy Weddings,<\/a> is here to walk you through the conversations you need to have before you start reaching out to suppliers and venues. Once your budget planning is complete, she says, \u201cReach for that bottle of bubbly! Seriously! You\u2019ve nailed one of the hardest parts of planning your wedding.\u201d<\/p>\n The very first conversation to have about your wedding budget is the conversation you\u2019ll have as a couple. This is challenging for many couples, but you got this. You can start by talking through what you want your wedding to feel like then following that discussion with more specifics about what you\u2019re willing and able to spend.<\/p>\n Many couples accept help with their wedding budget from their parents, grandparents, or other close relatives. If you\u2019re in the position to do so, it\u2019s important to have clear communication with them throughout the wedding planning process so you know you\u2019re on the same page about the extent of their contributions and how involved they\u2019d like to be.<\/p>\n Now that you have an idea of the total funds you\u2019ll have to allocate to your wedding budget, it\u2019s time to do the nitty-gritty planning of how you\u2019ll prioritise each wedding category. Go back to your initial plans for your wedding ambience and dive into what a more detailed version of that looks like now that you know what your budget reality is.<\/p>\n From here, you can start to collect ideas about what elements of your wedding are most important to each of you individually and as a couple.<\/p>\nBelow is a breakdown of the conversations to get you started planning your wedding budget, along with Darcy’s discussion point suggestions.<\/h5>\n
