Wedding Budgets

The most important step every couple needs to take before planning one detail is to establish a budget for their wedding. Without a budget, wedding spending can spiral out of control. Most brides hear the word budget and shutter. Think of your budget as peace of mind... not only will it save you from costly mistakes but it will also save you a significant amount of time throughout the planning process. When researching venues, florist, caterers, musicians, etc. you need to know what and who you can afford. Not all vendors charge the same fees for their services. By having a well balanced budget you can make your selection process much simpler! It is also important to remember to update your budget along the way. Remember that your allotted categories can change as the details begin to come together. Always keep track of all deposits, payments, and overall spending so that you can enjoy your wedding without unexpected financial obligations! :)

A Royal Wedding!!!

Well next year is going to be quite an exciting year! We have a royal wedding (did I mentioned that I would LOVE to plan that wedding?!)  I honestly can remember when I was a little girl watching the wedding of Prince Charles and our beloved Princess Diana over and over. I would tell my mom that when I grow up and get married I was going to have a dress with a train longer than Diana's and a tiara & that was even prettier! Well.... no train and my veil fell off when I walked down the aisle! :)
I have to say that the much anticipated royal wedding will certainly have a grand influence on the wedding world as we know it. After Princess Diana chose her taffeta wedding gown it became the most copied wedding gown in history! So until then we will anxiously await to see what Miss Middleton has in store for us.
