We've al looked at a beautiful photo in a magazine or online blog and said "I want that!", but the reality is "that" might be 10x your budget. How are you to know? It's a wedding planners job to effectively help translate what your wedding vision is to the reality of your budget, all without compromising elegance or style. 

Here are some main items you will need to plan into your wedding budget.   

It is very important when budgeting for a wedding is to be realistic about what you want to spend. If you have the ability to add to your budget to accommodate for any addition or luxurious items, fantastic! If you are like most and setting a wedding budget seems intimidating, don't fret. Wedding budgets are all about balance. If flowers are the most important item on your budget but attire is not, spend more on your flowers and cut back on the attire items. If the most important aspect of your wedding budget is the venue/location, spend on that. but know you may have to cut your guest list to stay on track. It's all a little give, a little take. If you need a wedding planner reach out to Gold Anchor Weddings and Design! We are here to help make it all a little less stressful and a bit more tangible. 

​Happy planning!
