Tips Tuesday: Budget’s got you like Whoa?!

Have fun with your stamp choice!
We love these pretty bloom stamps!

Let’s face it, budgets can be terrifying and something you just don’t even want to deal with especially when planning your dream wedding. We get it. No one really likes to think about not being able to have the wedding they have been dreaming of all because of a budget.

However, I’m all about doing the budget first just to get it out of the way.  Then you can start planning on a realistic budget, that won’t make you eat Ramen for the next year, as you plan. Once you actually get down and do it, it’s truly not nearly as bad as you think and a lot of couples are pleasantly surprised.

up everywhere <3

Budgets allow you to have a starting point and a great layout of every possible expense you might encounter. Budgets are truly very valuable in the planning process and it almost gives you more motivation to come in under budget!  

Pssssst! Check out these top budget items couples often forget!
1. Postage
2. Wedding bands
3. Vendor tips

Everyone loves a little
"cup noodles" every now and then!

I’m a firm believer that you can have the day you have been dreaming of on the budget you have. It all comes down to being chic on the cheap and putting the time into finding the best vendors that are willing to work with you to create your vision with your budget. (Look out for another Tips Tuesday with more on finding vendors within your budget)


Budgets allow you to prioritize areas that you are firm on and areas that you realize you can eliminate or compromise on. They also let you set realistic savings goals.  When you know what you need to save, it’s a lot easier to manage and come up with a plan that will still allow for date nights and fun with the girls because without that you will feel like you’re in spending jail and that will just make you miserable!
