Building Your Wedding Budget

When building your wedding budget, start by identifying your top priorities—these often include the venue and catering, though they can differ from couple to couple. Booking those major vendors early will provide a clear framework for the rest of your spending. Of course, if there is a vendor you simply cannot imagine your day without, consider shaping your budget around their pricing from the start. Next, distribute your budget across essential elements like photography, entertainment, florals, and attire, while reserving a buffer for any surprises along the way. With thoughtful planning, you can create the wedding of your dreams without added stress.  

To help you get started, here’s a sample wedding budget tailored for a guest list of 100. Keep in mind that every couple’s priorities are different, so these numbers may change based on what matters most to you.

Every wedding is unique, and your budget should reflect what’s most meaningful to you. Whether you’re dreaming of a show-stopping floral installation or a live band that keeps the dance floor full all night, the key is to spend intentionally.  If you need help managing your wedding budget, our full service and partial planning packages include expert budget guidance to keep your spending on track.
