8. Busting Budget Myths: Honest Conversations and Responsible Choices for Your Dream Wedding
Welcome back to The Aisle podcast! This week our host, Trista Croce dives into the intricacies of planning a wedding while staying within your means. From the importance of accurately communicating your budget to understanding the true costs of venues and food and beverage, we debunk myths and offer helpful tips to ensure a smooth wedding planning journey 💍💵!
Here are 3 key takeaways you won't want to miss:
1️⃣ Be honest about your budget: Don't inflate or downgrade your budget when dealing with wedding vendors. Misrepresenting your budget only leads to frustration and disappointment.
2️⃣ Do your research: Understand the different cost ranges and what they include in wedding planning. Avoid relying solely on wedding blogs for accurate cost information. Research will help you make informed decisions and set a realistic budget.
3️⃣ Make responsible choices: It's important to be smart with your budget allocation. Allocate funds appropriately to crucial areas like wedding planner, photography, entertainment, and invitations. Don't overlook the impact of small touches like elevating the altar area, creating a unique seating chart, and providing entertainment during cocktail hour - these low-cost additions can have a high impact on the overall atmosphere.
