Wedding Budget

Before putting any deposits down or buying and wedding supplies, it's very important to determine your overall wedding budget, starting with the maximum amount of money you and your fiancé want to spend on the wedding.

Next, begin developing a working budget by deciding exactly how much you wish to spend on each part of the wedding. While the actual budget will vary from wedding to wedding, here is a typical breakdown of costs that can be applied to most weddings:

50% Reception and Rehearsal Dinner (Venue, Food and Beverages, Cake)
10% Bridal Gown and Accessories
10% Music
10% Photography
10% Flowers
10% Everything Else (Invitations, Wedding Favors, Gifts, etc.)
