All brides have a budget whether it is $5000 or $100,000. Everyone has a certain allotment of money they have decided to spend on their wedding. So where do you begin? You must first decide what the top three things that are most important to you about the wedding. Forget about it being your groom, family members, etc. I am talking about actual items, or services you are going to spend money on. Once you have chosen your top three, allocate a larger portion of your funds for these items. Whether it be your dress, photography, or DJ service. Find what you want, and get it. The rest will fall into place easier than you expect it to.
