You need to know early on how much you have to work with. The scary part of the budget process is sticking to it. Don\u2019t forget to add all those little extras that add up and are overlooked. Everything from taxes, gratuity, bridal party gifts, beauty treatments and wedding dress alterations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Trim_the_list\"><\/span>3. Trim the list<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The easiest way to cut your budget is to trim your guest list. The more guests you have, the more money you will need to spend.

If your priority is stellar photography, an open bar and a band for the reception, recognize that early on. No matter what your wedding priorities are, allocate more of your budget to these must have items so you\u2019re basing your decision on quality versus price. Anything that is a priority, book those vendors early on to avoid disappointment. Especially if it\u2019s a vendor that has been on your radar for a long time! You don\u2019t want to lose out because you waited too long.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17795\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Event-in-post-135x135-12.jpg\" alt=\"wedding planner with clients\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Event-in-post-135x135-12.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Event-in-post-135x135-12-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Flexibility\"><\/span>5. Flexibility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have your heart set on a certain date or even a certain venue, be flexible. It may not be available for your date, but may be for another time. If you have always envisioned yourself getting married at a certain hotel but it\u2019s out of budget during peak summer months, look at other dates or even a weekday to see if it\u2019s within budget.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6Start_early\"><\/span>6.Start early<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s never too early to start wedding planning. Have a clear plan and giving yourself time, so important things are not missed. When you\u2019re rushed, you\u2019re usually not thinking through your decisions and that can be overwhelming and very costly to do.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7Lists_and_more_lists\"><\/span>7.Lists and more lists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you have a million things on the go, it\u2019s imperative to stay organized and have lists for everything. Having the tasks that you need to do, lists of vendors, payment due dates, invite list, meal selections for RSVP\u2019d guests, music list and an up-to-date spreadsheet of your budget is imperative.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8Plan_B\"><\/span>8.Plan B<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17798\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Event-in-post-135x135-14.jpg\" alt=\"organized wedding set\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Event-in-post-135x135-14.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Event-in-post-135x135-14-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>No matter how much you plan, you always need to consider a Plan \u201cB\u201d especially if you plan to do your ceremony or reception outdoors. Mother Nature is unpredictable and it\u2019s always recommended to have this plan in place well before the wedding day. Having a tent or alternative indoor location will come with a price tag and it\u2019s best to have this captured in your budget and in place, just in case.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9Choose_wisely\"><\/span>9.Choose wisely<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you decide to have a bridal party, think about your choices instead of getting caught up early on and making a drastic decision. These are the people who will be your support system and this decision shouldn\u2019t be taken lightly. Whether it\u2019s your sibling, a longtime friend or your distant cousin you rarely hear from, think it through to see how they fit into your wedding plans. The larger the bridal party, the higher the cost.<\/p>\n<p>You should also determine which costs you would be covering for your bridal party early on. Being in a bridal party is a big commitment and can take on a considerable financial toll.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_DIY_to_save\"><\/span>10. DIY to save<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re crafty and love DIY touches, then plan these in the early stages. Anything you want to craft should be done in advance since you won\u2019t have much time closer to the wedding. Pinterest has many options for basic to advanced DIY-ers. It can be everything from signage, to table numbers, to party favors, to save the dates or photo booth props. DIY can be cost effective if planned early on.<\/p>\n<p>You love to craft and having those personal touches are important to you both, but this isn\u2019t for the faint of heart. If you\u2019re not crafty or limited on time, please skip the DIY projects since they can be very time-consuming and create a lot of sleepless nights.<\/p>\n<p>Planning a wedding can be an overwhelming task, but it doesn\u2019t have to be! Consider <strong>working with an expert.<\/strong> As you plan your dream wedding, set your <strong>budget early and remember to be flexible<\/strong>. Working with a tight budget may mean having to cut back on certain expenses. It\u2019s essential to stay focused on the bigger picture, which is getting married and embarking on this new journey as newlyweds!<\/p>\n<h3 align=\"center\"><i>Now that you know these 10 tips from a pro wedding planner, find out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2019\/08\/look-for-great-event-photographer-getting-into-event-planning-career\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how to find the best photographer<\/a> for your big day!<\/i><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QC Event School tutor and owner of Aisle Travel, Amira Harris share her 10 wedding planning tips from a pro wedding planner. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":17794,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,21],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[354],"class_list":["post-17791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-event-planning-tips","category-planning-tips"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v26.6) -
