Since every couple is different, every couple will have different priorities. Now, unless you have an unlimited budget to work with, chances are you aren’t going to get EVERYTHING you want. That’s why it’s important to PRIORITIZE. If having outstanding food is the most important thing to you, then it would make sense to allot more money in your budget for food and to cut back on spending elsewhere. Some brides may want to splurge on a great dress, venue, DJ, or photographer, while others might not.

So as you work on your budget plan, ask yourself this: What is MOST important to you? And if push comes to shove, where are you willing to compromise? Are you willing to limit your guest list or be flexible with the location, time and style of your wedding? Are you willing to look for cheaper venues, catering, décor, or cake options? Whatever you decide, incorporate that into your budget plan! As long as you’ve sorted out your priorities in advance, it will be easier to make the important financial decisions along the way!
