Setting a wedding budget can feel overwhelming - and for many couples, it’s the part of wedding planning they avoid for as long as possible. In this episode of Your Wedding Unlimited, Abby Lynch breaks down how to build a realistic wedding budget that supports calm, confident planning and helps you avoid unnecessary financial stress.

This episode focuses on working with real numbers (not Pinterest budgets), understanding what actually impacts the cost of a wedding, and planning with intention so your wedding reflects your story. If you’re unsure where to start, worried about overspending, or feeling confused by conflicting advice online, this episode will give you clarity and reassurance.

In this episode, Abby covers:

• Why setting a realistic wedding budget is the foundation of stress-free wedding planning
• Common mistakes couples make when setting their wedding budget
• Why guest count has such a big impact on overall wedding costs
• How to prioritise your wedding spend based on what matters most to you as a couple
• Why tracking every expense - even small ones - is essential
• How to approach family contributions and expectations
• Why an emergency fund should always be part of your wedding budget
• Why it’s normal (and healthy) to reassess and adjust your budget as plans evolve
• How planning with intention helps your wedding truly reflect your relationship
