80,000$ for a venue??? For real???

Yes, unfortunately, prices in the wedding industry have spiralled in the recent years and it seems almost impossible to plan one’s dream wedding nowadays.

Well, great news, for you. If you were wondering how you could create a wedding that is still you, that doesn’t compromise your dream, you’ve come to the right place. It is in fact still possible to plan a beautiful wedding, no matter what your budget is.

So, where do you start?

Before diving into spreadsheets, price lists, or Pinterest boards, you need clarity. What kind of experience do you actually want? Not what tradition says, not what Instagram expects — but what you and your partner truly value.

Let’s start there.

1- Define Your Vision & Budget Cap

Before spending a single dime, you and your partner have to define your vision of a perfect wedding day.

• Do you want a large or intimate wedding?
• What kind of food do you want to eat?
• What colour, what style, what mood?
• Do you want to have the wedding at another location?
• What are your priorities?
  • Is it mandatory to have the dress custome-made?
  • Do you want a videographer or are you fine we just photos?
