When planning the wedding, it is the budget that goes in preparing for everything that is of the utmost importance. If you’ve not yet dived into the process of planning the wedding then you might think that it is easy. But, when you actually get started with it, you realize that there is no set of rules and it is totally an ‘Unknown Territory’.
What you must understand is that it is only you who can decide on the budget for your wedding. Everything must be customized as per your requirements so you personally have to take some time out and decide on the appropriate budget.
According to some of the best Budget wedding planners in Mumbai creating the budget for your wedding will hardly take an hour or so. So you must sit down together with the people who’ll be contributing to your wedding and then decide on a budget that covers every little detail.
Here we have defined a step-by-step planning process for your wedding that’ll make things much easier to manage.
Do Your Research
It will probably be the first time that you are planning a wedding. You might have planned the various events in the college but planning a wedding is entirely different. You can research the different things that you’ll require for your wedding and are according to your taste. It’ll make things really easy if you have an overview of what all things go into the preparation of the wedding.
Prepare A Dream
Dreaming is the best way to envision your wedding. This will allow you to think properly on a setting that’ll not only look great but will be personalized according to your needs. This would not necessarily give you an idea of exact decor and the colours that’ll look great but will help you determine the ‘type’ of the wedding along with the style and feel. Decide on things like – Do you want it to be relaxed and casual? Or, you want it to be elegant and romantic? What is your favourite setting? Indoors or outdoors?
Discuss With Contributors
Be it your parents, relatives or friends, you’ll need to discuss the budget that can go into the wedding. This way you’ll know how much everyone can contribute and with the final figure of the total budget you can better divide it into the different services that you might require for the wedding. The most important part of the discussion must be what your priorities are. If you and your partner are particularly concerned about something then make sure that you set aside a good amount of budget for that.
Review The Guest Count
The biggest thing that affects the wedding budget is the guest count. If your wedding budget is going out of bounds then it can easily be controlled by cutting off some names from the final guest list. You must understand a simple thing that if you want your budget to be small then your guest list should be small as well.
Decide On The Budget
So, now that you’ve considered all the above points, you are ready to decide on a budget that is appropriate for your wedding. The best way to decide will be to set the total budget available after deciding with all the contributors. And then dividing that into smaller groups on the percentage basis. Just remember that the big chunk of the budget would be taken up in booking a venue and the food that will be served at the wedding. With the above things in mind, it is sure that you’ll be able to make a budget that covers all the different services that you’ll require for the wedding. However, one more thing that you must remember is to keep some scope for extra expenses that might come your way.
