Let’s talk about the dreaded wedding budget.

Last week I talked about the Guest List. I helped you cut back the guest list and finalise the guest list. If you did not listen to those 3 podcast episodes then start here.

Now, the reason you must start with the guest list and not the budget is because how can you work out a budget if you don’t know how many guests you are inviting. When you don’t know guest numbers you also don’t know which venue you can fit into or if a venue will have a minimum spend or minimum and maximum number of guests.

Further to this, how can you start looking at venues if you don’t know your wedding vision? Knowing your vision of the day and how you want to look and feel is critical. That’s a whole full discussion in itself and if you haven’t sat down with your partner to work out your vision of the day make sure you sit down and do that and decide how you both want to feel on the day and how the wedding day looks to you both. It’s our very first lesson in the Calm Bride Planner Course as often you can also make better decisions on the guest list when you know the vision.

Anyway, I went off track there and could be overwhelming you with the whole budget, guest list and wedding vision and I don’t want to do that so let's get back to the wedding budget.

Once you know your wedding vision and you have a guest list you can now really start to put together a budget and I’m not talking about oh I’ve got $25,000 to spend. That is actually not a budget. That’s what you have to spend.

A budget is actually knowing how much you think you are going to spend. So breaking down what the dream venue costs per person, what your dream dress might cost, what the flowers you love might cost.

You see the initial budget is ultimately an estimate of costs of what you want in your wed
