Here is roughly a $20,000 Wedding Budget Concept
Every Bride & Groom has a budget, some smaller, and some larger than what we have listed.
However, no matter what your budget is you can take the list we have and allocate whatever funds you want or need to each area.
Just keep in mind if you splurge for better services in one area, and you have a $15,000 budget then you have to cut back in other area or areas.

Although wedding planning and creating a dream wedding can be very hectic and overwhelming, enjoy the process and have fun with the process of creating a wedding of your dreams. Listed are some things a Bride should do the week of her wedding...
|
- Before the wedding wear your shoes to make them feel more comfortable.
- Make sure you finalize all work plans and projects so your mind isn't elsewhere when it should be on your wedding.
- I can't stress this enough check your email prior to your wedding just to make sure there isn't any cancellations or changes by vendors.
- Check to see who is giving toasts, no one likes a surprise speaker who could potentially belligerently blurt out something to ruin there wedding.
- Breathe, deeply, even during the craziness just take a breathe and know this is all worth it to have such an epic memorable day.
- Don't forget to put together any wedding favors.
- Make sure if you have a seating chart cards are printed out and ready.
- Put together a list of photographs you must have for your photographer.
- Have a rehearsal dinner to discuss all the details and make sure everyone is on the same page.
- Don't for get to spend some time with you maid of honor and Bridesmaids. Show them how important they are and spend time together.
- Weddings are fun, but sometimes having someone to help with a wedding where kids are there is a blessing. Consider hiring a babysitter.
- Consider dropping off decorations prior to your wedding day the week of, if its OK with your venue.
- Decide where you want your First Look to be, if your having one.
- Wrap any bridal party gifts and have them ready prior to your wedding.
- Think about your plans before you go to your wedding. Are you leaving for your honeymoon right after? Packing might be a good idea.
- Make sure to check in with your bridal party to ensure no one needs anything before the wedding. Check the week before.
- Don't forget that D.i.Y bridal kit before you leave just in case you need it.
- Here's something sweet. Write a love note to your significant other to read before you walk down the aisle.
- Try your dress on the week before your wedding. You never know if there needs to be any altercations.
- Besides Breathing, Treat and pamper yourself for a day so your not anxious and tired the day of your wedding.
- Do NOT forget to take care of your marriage license before your wedding. You still need the license to make it legal.
- ALL final payments for vendors are due 1 to 2 weeks prior to your wedding day. You may want to organize who needs paid and when..
- Consider a back up plan. A dress and shoes that are still pretty to continue the party at the reception, or just in case anything happens..
