✨ Even if you don’t wear it for the ceremony, a veil can elevate your wedding photos. Your photographer can use your veil to capture unique and stunning shots

Around 70% of brides wear a veil on their big day! Are you wearing one??

We’re being frugal queens in 2025! 👑

Here are 2 things you can skip at your wedding because your guests simply will not care about them.

• Top Shelf Liquor
9 times out of 10, your guests will just be happy that you have something to keep them from getting thirsty. Even if it’s the cheaper option! So a moderately cheap vodka, whiskey, rum, and tequila (+ mixers, of course) will do the trick!

• Custom Bar Napkins
While these are absolutely adorable, even more so if it’s a picture of your dog… But a simple sign at the bar is a much more cost efficient way to incorporate them without breaking the bank on something that will end up in the garbage!

✨✨ What are a few extravagant items you never seem to notice at weddings??

The absolute first step you should take when planning your wedding, before you reach out to any vendors or buy a single wedding related item, is to SET A BUDGET.

We all know it’s the worst part, but what’s even worse is getting your heart set on certain aspects of your dream wedding and realizing later you’ve gone over budget and it’s no longer possible. Your wedding should be exactly what you want without starting your new family off in major debt because of it!

Here are a few tips for setting and sticking to a wedding budget:

1. Get Specific
• Define your Priorities as a Couple — is it the venue, food, desserts, or guest experience?
• Research Costs — what is the average cost for venues, catering, and other services in your area?

2. Pick a Number
• Determine where funds will be coming from — who is contributing and how much?
• Set a Goal Amount and a Maximum Amount — in all things, it’s very easy to go over budget when planning a wedding, so find a number everyone is comfortable with and that will be the Goal.

3. Break It Down
• List all potential expenses and allocate specific amounts to each category — do this to where your overall total is closer to your Goal Amount than your Maximum Amount.
• Don’t forget to include the easy to forget items like gratuity, alterations, breakfast for bridal parties, and even miscellaneous items you’ll need along the way.

4. Get Organized
• Use budgeting tools, create a detailed spreadsheet, or utilize a wedding planner!
• Monitor your spending and write down every expense.

5. Be Flexible
• Adjust as you go. If there are categories you want to spend more in than you originally allocated, readjust and pull money from categories that are less important to you and you know you can save on.

6. Look at All The Options
• Check out less traditional venues or vendors that may offer pricing that is less than the average. Also consider getting married on a different day of the week or during the less popular months where rates may be lower.
• Price all decor for purchase, for rent, and DIY. Determine what savings are worth your sanity during this time and what you can manage to save!

7. Seek Professional Advice
• A wedding planner can help realistically set your budget and keep you on track — of course this is something you’ll have to put into your budget!

8. Most Importantly: Stick to It!
