Wedding planning can be an intensive and almost military-like operation. Many different parts need to come together to create the perfect wedding, and it can be easy to overlook some details and get things lost along the way. Typically, the average wedding can take around a year to plan, and the average cost is around $30,000 per wedding. But whether you have a massive budget to use or you’re doing things on a tight budget, knowing what deserves your attention and what isn’t really that important helps you not only assign the right parts of your budget but also ensure you don’t overlook the more important aspects.  So, what do you need to focus on for your upcoming nuptials?

Wedding Bands

Your wedding bands are not just a piece of jewelry but a symbol of your love and commitment. Whether you choose a simple metal band, a sparkling diamond wedding band, or a unique custom design, this decision should be made together as a couple. It’s not just about the aesthetics, but about what these bands represent your unity and the depth of your love.

 

Attire

What you will all be wearing to your wedding is important. The bridal gown is often the main focus of the day when talking about wedding attire and for a good reason. However, your wedding dress or dresses and suits for the couple, wedding party clothing, and theme for the outfits, i.e., the same color or style, etc., will be a big talking point. It’s worth assigning a decent chunk of your budget to this aspect so that everyone looks good and you all feel amazing, too. Your comfort in your wedding attire will show through in your pictures and contribute significantly to the overall look and feel of your wedding.

 

Location

Where you hold your wedding is just as important as the wedding itself, and it can and does set the seven and the one for the entire day and proceedings. Regardless of your budget, where you choose to get married is really important. You need to ensure the venue can accommodate your guest list, provide a beautiful backdrop to the proceedings, and give you a truly memorable day. Whether it’s your house, your family’s farm, or you book the entire country club or hotel, pay close attention to the venue because this is something you absolutely do not want to regret.

 

Having an Actual Budget

Lastly, setting your budget is probably the single most important aspect of your wedding plans. Setting a budget early in the planning process is paramount as this will dictate what you can afford and the options you can choose from. The three points above are all major parts of your wedding day and need appropriate portions of your budget attached to them. 

However, having a clear budget from the start can help you ensure you don’t go overboard and leave yourself struggling to pay for the day itself. Once your budget is set, you can then move forward with pulling your day together as you need it.
